."If it has been known by the Umayyad poets since the Middle Ages as the second most important fragrance after musk, ambergris, originally reserved for caliphs, kings, and great figures, retains all its mystery regarding its biological origins until the 18th century. However, it is during the Renaissance that it becomes a medium of exchange between the East and the West, and, according to Léon the African, ambergris is as precious as gold or gems. Renowned as an aphrodisiac, it is sought after for its warm, coppery, sensual, and delightfully oriental notes."
