Why Perfume Makers Love Constipated Whales

Ambergris is a rare substance used in perfumes, originating from sperm whales. Initially, its origin was unknown, with theories suggesting it came from tree sap or undersea mushrooms. It is now known to form in the intestines of sperm whales when squid beaks and other materials accumulate, sometimes leading to the whale's death. Over time, ambergris transforms in the ocean, becoming a valuable ingredient for fragrances.
