Traces the rarest and most mysterious agent in perfumery, ambergris, which is found in the bellies of whales and is said to have powerful aphrodisiac qualities. This title deals with the people, ranging from the peasants and farmers growing their own crops, and the traders who sell to the great perfume houses, to the 'noses' who create the scents.
