Ambergris
Ambergris is one of those classic mystical ingredients that we find revered in many ancient texts and cultures.
I use my Ambergris oils directly on the skin or beard and reserve tinctures for perfume and incense blends.
An alcoholic tincture brings out notes different from oil extraction and highlights the tobacco and marine notes present in the material.
An oil infusion creates a product with a different fragrance profile. It makes my heart skip every time. It is often softer, sweeter, more animalic and muskier.
Excreted or regurgitated by the Sperm whale (depends on who you ask), Ambergris is thought to form in the digestive tract as a response to the irritation of residual squid beaks, which the whale cannot digest. With the aid of a compound produced in the whale's bile duct, a waxy substance coats the irritants and builds up in layers over the years. These layers are one indicator of genuine Ambergris. (Many materials that look similar to ambergris are regularly found on oceanic beaches worldwide).
Once Ambergris exits the whale, it can float on the ocean for years and lie undiscovered on a beach for decades.
Ambergris has been used as medicine and in food, and of course, it has been a key ingredient in the creation of perfume and incense for thousands of years.
Like other natural animalic fragrance compounds, the magic and power of Ambergris do not lie in the strength of its aroma.
Ambergris does not have an intense fragrance and does not transform a perfume by simply adding its aroma to the blend. Instead, it operates in a less obvious, overt manner, rounding out or pulling together a bouquet, adding depth, tenacity, dimension, and projection to a composition through a mechanism that is not well understood.
Ambergris is most often used in an alcohol tincture at a very low 1% to 3%.
Typically, a tincture of Ambergris will be left to macerate at least 6 months before it is considered ready to filter and use.
To a great degree, all animalics work on the principle of more is less.
At 1%, 1 gram of Ambergris yields 100 grams, or over 100 Milliliters of tincture.

I have so enjoyed opening the 5 different tins of ambergris I’ve been able to secure from you over the years. Such deep AND light notes occurring at the same time…a symphony of notes, textures from the depths. There are flowers in those depths.
I just open the tins and allow those notes to be the meditation.
Thank Dan🤠💖✌🏽🙏🏽

Por fin llego y aunque tardo 3 semanas en llegar a México la espera ha valido la pena, este Ámbar gris de Calidad GRAY es bellísimo, esta calidad de ámbar me parece que tiene aspectos de animalicos pero también tiene esa característica salada y marina como cuando te estas acercando a una playa o la costa y el olor del mar es perceptible.
Dan y su Equipo fueron muy generosos y me brindaron mas de la que compre y tan solo quiero agradecerles de corazón tan bello gesto que tuvieron hacia mi.
Muchas gracias Dan y al equipo de Apothecary's Garden, su labor ayuda a que muchos sueños se hagan realidad, un saludo desde Guadalajara, Jalisco, México.
PD: LA UNICA FUENTE CONFIABLE PARA COMPRAR AMBAR GRIS EN PEQUEÑAS CANTIDADES ES DAN RIEGLER Y SU EQUIPO!
It finally arrived and although it took 3 weeks to arrive in Mexico, the wait has been worth it, this GRAY Quality Ambergris is beautiful, this quality of amber seems to me to have animalistic aspects but it also has that salty and marine characteristic like when you You are approaching a beach or the coast and the smell of the sea is perceptible.
Dan and his Team were very generous and gave me more than what I bought and I just want to thank them from the bottom of my heart for the beautiful gesture they had towards me.
Thank you very much Dan and the Apothecary's Garden team, your work helps many dreams come true, greetings from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.
