I'm convinced it will taste better with french salad dressing. Have you tried ambergrits?

I have learned a great deal about the aromatic values of whale dung. I must tell you that I collect rock in fossilized whale dung. And there is still an aroma after all these years. The fossilized coral is a 1-3 foot layer of the bottom of the ancient ocean and the layer sitting on top has a distinct odor. This odor is present about anytime I am digging coral from such a vein over a 400 mile territory. A whole list of other dungs would also be present. So I would be curious to know which animal dung is the dominate odor. Or is this odor something all together different. And I am serious. Helen understands the coral vein cause she has been to one and James seems versed in the other.

Although I would say it is not whale. The reason is that whale feces is going to float due to the higher fat content. If it sunk to the bottom of coral beds then I would suspect the diet to be much higher in protein, which would cause the feces to sink instead.

I am sure that this layer is full of many organic inputs of so many years. Just algae settling to the bottom would add a huge organic input. Never thought about whale dung floating. The dungs could serve as floating islands serving as whale dung sanctuaries for tired birds.

OK.
I largely avoided this thread. This thread went all "Wonkavator" entirely without my input.

Helen understands the coral vein cause she has been to one and James seems versed in the other. Ambergris doesn't smell like dung... it is probably the closest to 'ozone' smell in nature. It creates scents that resemble 'cool breezes'. You ever smell Davidon's Cool Water cologne? That sort of oceanic note is what ambergris gives as a background. Cool Water in particular very heavily relies on synthetic ambergris. That old musky smell from old coral/dung is more like an oakmoss note, or ones that resemble musk... which is more musty, warm, and well, smells like old dust to some people. Every traditional fixative adds a very different and peculiar note to perfume. None of them smell the same (or they wouldn't need to use such different materials).

effifIknow. It's Jim's thread. lol
My daughter's Sophomore English teacher allowed curse words in the writing of her pupils. But they damned well better be spelled correctly, and be used in correct grammatical fashion.

Billy (I'm laughing w/rib damage). I was trying to terminate the whale turd discussion(now wiping coffee I spit up). Thanks so much for noticing the point made about the floating turd sanctuaries. They actually drifted the whale turd discussion off to distant seas so that I could get my groove back. I am forever in your debt. I fall out laughing when I see that black teardrop cab of yours without reading your post. Then when I do it pisses my wife off cause i'm not allowed to have so much fun laughing. Keep it coming

Your daughter has teacher extraordinaire. A true gem. Far better than this example shows. Thanks for noticing. When the topic of curse words came up in class, and they were told about the rules, a boy (giggling I am sure) asked, "OK, but what form of grammar is the word eff?" Teacher took control and asked for answers. Putting each on the board. Adverb Adjective Noun it took awhile before they got to Verb.... I owe you an apology. I ignored the whale turd bird sanctuary quip. But I am indeed happy to see Billy got coffee out your nose!

Keep in mind people that ambergris has a history of being worn as jewelry so you can cab it and sell it.

Ambergris does not have a singular smell. It has a variety of smells including fecal, musky, woody, tobacco, seaweed odors. By itself, true, but the scent is used to impart the only non-chemical 'ozone' smell in perfumery. While I have no actual ambergris, I have all the relevant chemical subs for it... and quite a few original 1910-1930's perfumes with ambergris as an important note. It's pretty easy to extrapolate the ambergris from smelling multiple completely different blends containing ambergris. Blending is an interesting thing. A perfumer friend created a blend that smelled like seaweed/salty/fishy, with just a few citrus, lavender, peppermint and a few other EO (with absolutely nothing that smells 'salty' or 'fishy'). No one who smells it believes the ingredients:).

Yes, indeed, long as it's not that golden colored barely crisp crap. Real toast has to have a little black to it. Lee
