Amber series perfumes
Ambergris is produced by the Sperm Whale and is found in all ancient pharmacopeias. Ambergris has a very typical scent: animalic but very sweet, seducing particularly feminine noses, which instinctively recognize the odor that will attract males. In fact, like all aromatic substances of animal origin, Ambergris is a pheromone and acts directly on the hormonal system through the sense of smell, without physical contact.
The Sperm Whale that produces Ambergris is so-called for the large amount of fine and valuable oil that is found behind its head. It is a marine mammal of the whale family that feeds on fish and squids, and a hunter that dives to extreme depths (3000 m. according to some) where live the mysterious giant squids that the sperm whale caches with its frightening teeth. This animal was an enormous source of raw materials before the advent of the chemical industry at the beginning of the century (oil, meat, fat, bones, etc…), but was not hunted for the Ambergris, because that substance that grows like a football in its stomach is naturally regurgitated by the animal and floats on the oceanic streams to reach far beaches where it is found.
