Ambergris (a certain “Grey Amber,” from the French), is, at this point, so mythological that few seem to know what, really, it is, or from whence it comes, or, for that matter, how it gets inside a neat little bottle of perfume.
Deep inside the great Sperm Whale, there will, occasionally, come a time, when, having swallowed some sharp object, the creature will have to produce this fluid within, just to surround that sharp object, in order to protect the lining of its intestinal tract as the thing moves through the whale’s digestive system, until it can pass through as a sort of excrement which is not waste but indeed another marvelous secretion.
This grey mass of intestinal matter, which surrounded that sharp object to protect the whale inside, then floats slowly to the surface of the sea wide open, all the while undergoing a process of photoaging, or extrinsic aging, which are but a few of those terms which describe the transformation of an object being aged by the light of the sun.
Ambergris is rare. When found afloat the ocean or drifted its long journey to the shore, the material so prized for its olfactory complexity is tinctured, oft for ages, then the tincture, too, matured, until ready for use in a finer fragrance compound.
The real thing does smell fecal, certainly animalic, but in it one discovers a world of radiant ambers, deep enchanting musks: there’s must and timeless woods; solar tobacco marine sea salt metallic mineral.
