What is Ambergris?
Ambergris, which comes from some species of sperm whale, is one of the most valuable raw materials in perfumery. It's rare, and the fragrance it exudes is just as rare. In perfumes ambergris is used as a fixative and its presence can be best described as marine, animalic and sweet.
While ambergris has long been referred to as whale vomit, research in modern times suggests that it primarily forms in the whale's intestines and would be excreted from the animal (rather than being vomited out from the stomach).
The dull grey or blackish waxy lumps largely consist of undigested squid beaks (the sperm whale's main prey is giant squid) and it is thought that it might help the mammal pass sharp objects through its intestine.
Ocean Aging Process
Ambergris may float in the ocean for as long as 30 years before being washed-up. As it floats, a white coating forms on the outside as it oxidises in the salt water.
We cannot estimate the precise age of a piece according to appearance alone. However, we can tell from several factors—the thickness of the white exterior coating, the interior color, and the fragrance—if it is an older and well-cured piece.
In general, lighter-colored pieces have a lighter, sweeter fragrance and have been at sea for a longer time. The fragrance becomes more refined with age.
Texture & Quality
The texture of ambergris is normally hard. Only the lowest qualities have a soft (firm, pliable) texture. Pieces which are very old may become more brittle and powdery.
As a piece floats in the ocean, the white coating can be thin and patchy but will become thicker if the piece stays in the ocean a long time. The piece will also become lighter in color on the inside, as it dries and cures.
Historical & Cultural Significance
Historically, the primary commercial use of ambergris has been in fragrance chemistry, although it has also been used for medicinal and flavoring purposes. Ambergris is one of the most important amber type odorants and is highly sought.
The Ambergris is produced by the Sperm whale and is present in all the ancient pharmacopoeias. Ambergris has a very typical scent, animally but of great sweetness that seduces particularly feminine noses, who instinctively recognize the odour that will attract males.
In fact, Ambergris, like all aromatic substances of animal origin, is a pheromone and acts directly on the hormonal system through the sense of smell, without physical contact.
