When it comes to producing this into a fragrance, it crosses through various stages. When regurgitated initially from the whale, it drifts to the surface of the ocean emitting a foul smell. Once it’s all desiccated, the smell turns sweet giving it a long-lasting consequence that makes it a typical ingredient in perfumes.
