It's not vomit or "poop", it's an oily substance produced in the whale's gut as a response to irritation by cuttlefish beaks that the whale has ingested. It isn't uses in modern perfumes because of the cost, the ethical concerns and the difficulty in obtaining a consistent quality so synthetics are used, which give skin substantivity to the perfume. Whales excrete it so don't need to be killed.

Rather than visit the Daily Mail website and see all those lovely celeb upskirts, I was trying to work out what it was going to be about from the link. I'm glad globalti explained it..

I'm feeling let down by the Mail today. The journalist didn't even mention how it is added to coffee by unfathomably rich arab sheiks from Arabialand.
