What is Ambergris?
First and foremost, it is important to disclose the most intriguing aspect of Ambergris; Despite being recognised as extremely rare and valuable throughout history (ambergris was known and considered as an imperial trade article in Africa from as early as 1000BC). No one to this day has ever seen this curious substance physically depart the sperm whale. There has been endless debate as to whether it leaves as ‘vomit’ or as faecal matter!
Where does Ambergris come from?
Ambergris starts to be formed when the sperm whale consumes giant squid. Giant squids have parrot like beaks which can’t always be digested and can irritate the whale’s intestine. The whale’s natural defence for this is to secrete a fatty, cholesterol-rich layer in their intestines, which coats and surrounds the beak (a little like a grain of sand in an oyster forms a pearl!) The waxy piece grows over time, and eventually has to be expelled.
100% NATURAL & ORGANIC
How is Ambergris used?
Ambergris is mostly recognised for its use in creating perfume and fragrance. It is collected at sea and on beaches, although it originates from the Sperm Whale a consequence of the digestive formation that the whale’s intestines create to protect its digestive tract from the sharp, indigestible squid beaks consumed on a daily basis. Ambergris itself is legal for use in most places.
How to identify Ambergris
If you have never seen, touched or smelt ambergris, it is highly unlikely you will be able to identify what you have; you will likely require help from those with experience, who deal regularly within this market. There are a few tests you can do at home, but none of their results can be considered conclusive in confirming whether you have ambergris or not. Only a lab test can provide definitive confirmation.
