Origin & Lore

This oil is named for ambergris, the rare waxy substance formed in the gut of the sperm whale, prized in perfumery for its deep marine sweetness and its power to fix and carry other scents. In magick it is worked with the subconscious, the hidden depths of the mind, as well as for love and attraction.

Ambergris drifts on the ocean for years before it washes ashore, and for centuries no one knew where it came from.

Ambergris was one of the most valued perfume materials of the medieval Islamic world and of Europe, worth more than gold by weight, and was used in perfumes, cooking and incense. Its origin puzzled writers for centuries; some thought it a sea mushroom or the dung of a giant bird, until whalers found it in sperm whales.
