KAS IR AMBERGRIS

Due to the sperm whale's inability to digest squid beaks, it produces ambergris, an intestinal secretion to protect the stomach lining. The secretion hardens within the body and gets expelled as waste, and can be found floating in the waters where the sperm whales reside; off the coasts of Africa, New Zealand, the Middle East and South East Asia. Ambergris has become a rare commodity and one of the most sought-after substances in the world. Since the demand for rare ambergris far outweighs the production - only a mere 1% of the male sperm whales produce ambergris - finding genuine ambergris washed ashore will soon be a thing of the past.

KĀ LIETOT AMBERGRIS

Dzintara ir plaši izmantota vēsturiski un kultūras jomā kopš seniem laikiem. Vakar ēģiptieši ambru dedzināja kā vīraku, savukārt mūsdienu Ēģiptē ambra izmanto cigarešu smaržošanai. Senie ķīnieši ambra sauca par "pūķa spļas aromātu". Viduslaikos eiropieši lietoja ambru kā līdzekli galvassāpju, saaukstēšanās, epilepsijas un citu slimību ārstēšanai. Melnās nāves laikā Eiropā cilvēki uzskatīja, ka ambras bumbas nēsāšana var palīdzēt novērst mēri. Tas notika tāpēc, ka aromāts pārklāja gaisa smaržu, kas, domājams, ir mēra cēlonis. Dzintars dažādās formās ir izmantots arī kā pārtikas aromatizētājs, un daži cilvēki to uzskata par afrodiziaku, un tāpēc tā ir viena no galvenajām mūsdienu parfimērijas sastāvdaļām.

KAS IR AMBERGRIS SMELL

Ambergris has an unusual odor which is difficult to explain to anyone who has never had the pleasure of its sensual aroma. Ambergris is often described as being musky and having a sweet earthy aroma unlike any other, or a mossy fragrance reminiscent of the damp forest floor. Depending on the quality of the ambergris there can be a great variation in the fragrance. Poor quality or fresh ambergris (which is black and sticky) is fairly offensive in fragrance. If you can imagine scented cow dung you will be on the right track. Many people expect ambergris to have a very strong or foul odour, but this is not the case. In general, lighter-coloured pieces of ambergris have a subtle, pleasant smell. The base animal (manure) odour fades as the ambergris cures. However, the white and grey varieties, in particular, possess the subtle, sweet addictive aroma that beach combing dreams are made of.
