Ambergris : Mysterious and Controversial Amber Note - Bois de Jasmin
Amber or ambergris: A soft, sensual, warm, comforting and sweet aroma often used in oriental scents. The original ambergris is a cured secretion that comes from sperm whales to heal its stomach from the scratches of the cuttlefish they swallow. It floats on the ocean, and by exposure to the sun and the salty water it changes its originally foul smell into one of the most delicate and sought after fragrances: Ambergris. Today amber is usually constructed by perfumers.
