Guest guest Posted August 30, 2000 Report Share Posted August 30, 2000 I always doubted amber oil was a true essential oil, since amber comes from fossilized plants and is hard as a rock. But today I found this: " Amber - love, comfort, happiness, and healing. (Amber oil is created from lesser quality amber, which is fossilized pine resin millions of years old... TRUE AMBER OIL IS EXTREMELY RARE. Ambergris - psychic powers, dreams, aphrodisiac. (This is a product of sperm whales, and was used widely for magick in the past... it is not very common presently, due to increased ecological considerations whales are an endangered species, and fortunately society no longer approves of the killing of animals for products such as oil) Most of the ambergris oil on the market today is artificial. " And I thought we could try to find it! I guess we can find anything, right? And I am curious about the ambergris too, whale sperm? What exactly is this oil, I never heard of it... I don't want to get it!!! I'm against killing whales and elephants to get skin, teeth, oils or ivory... Just curious about the oil's properties or effects. And what about musk... it comes from goats, right? It's an animal substance they spread in the air when it's mating time or something... We call it almíscar here. I bet this doesn't exist as an EO. But I'm also sure it has therapeutic properties, since it's an animal extract... Do you know anything about these scents? Do you know where we can find it?

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2000 Report Share Posted August 30, 2000 i've never seen real amber oil. i dunno much about it, but i'll ask around in some circles (try the lists too). as for ambergris, its a kind of whale vomit that turns hard and sweet smelling in the sun. its found floating on the ocean or they kill whales for it. its all synthetic now. i have a chunk of the real stuff, but i got it from someone who had it for a long time who got it from someone who had it for a long time. http://chemistry.about.com/science/chemistry/library/weekly/aa012400a. htm http://whale.wheelock.edu/archives/whalenet96/0195.html musk, and civet come from the male organs of animals (civet cat) they scraped the testicles - awwww poor kitty! i don't think any of the animal products are easy to get these days and ambergris is the only one that smells good (heavenly is more like it), maybe we'll find a chunk floating on the ocean one day. *lol* *smile* chris TRUE AMBER OIL IS EXTREMELY RARE. > Ambergris - psychic powers, dreams, aphrodisiac.
