Natural ambergris is a rare substance produced in the digestive system of sperm whales and for centuries was considered a valuable perfumery ingredient due to its unique properties.
Natural ambergris can reach prices of up to 20,000 euros per kilogram on the international market, making it one of the most expensive natural fragrance ingredients in the world.
Using synthetic alternatives like Grisalva® offers significant benefits for the protection of marine mammals by reducing the need to harvest natural ambergris, thereby helping protect sperm whales.
