Animalics 101: Ambergris

Find it on the beach and it's like winning the lottery. Ambergris is one of the most expensive perfumery ingredients and a key component in many landmark perfumes. Despite this, many are clueless about its bizarre origin…
Join Ensar Oud and Sheikh Ehab as they share the story of one of nature's stranger gifts, where it comes from, what it is, and why no perfume house can live without it.

Ensar: ...trying to spray it and it wouldn’t…
instead of spraying, it would like give you
this tiny squirt, it was like pssssts almost
like a, like a, almost like a you know, like
someone urinating…
[Laughter]
Ehab: I don’t know why he goes back to the
urination all the time.
[Laughter] Ehab: Okay, I got it…
[Music]
Ensar: There are different types of alcohols.
Like there's benzyl alcohol.
There's the natural…..whatever they use
for….like ethyl alcohol which is what I
use just to make the perfume.
But these compounding houses they have so
many types of alcohols, the can put certain
ratios that correspond to whatever else is
in there that they can potentiate it to the
max.
You know, these are all chemists so they know
how to do all that.
Ehab: Yeah, yeah.

[@luf2867]

I recommend trying it in hot chocolate...heat a small dot to a spoon and stir...or heat a bit to the lid of you teapot to lightly scent your tea.........is also nice to flavor tobacco........all very extravagant but a flavor that has to be experienced.

[@adms8169]

Assalamualaykum. Can you please make a video of a step by step process how to make ambergris perfume from scratch

[@BorschtBlue]

Interesting. I always thought it was whale vomit.

[@matero30]

I thought of a question I've been wondering about for years and I hope Ensar will answer it in sha allah. In famous Arabic poems about coffee, Amber is mentioned as one of the ingredients, along with the well-known ones like cardamom, clove, saffron, and shamatri (I don't know what it's called in English). In modern times, I haven't seen anyone use anything called amber in coffee, nor have I seen edible amber available in markets. What do you think this amber is which is mentioned in the poems? I would like to make the coffee as described in the poem. I think he knows Arabic so I will put the verses here:

[@ImranShaikh-og6jo]

Assalamu alaikum brother when you come in mumbai please just informe me will meet you

[@alexanderschestag3247]

Ambergris can be a great incense.

[@umairansari4027]

[@soffianfokkais642]

Ambergris oil it's very good smell complex warm and Rich but derr musk oil in sandalwood feed's me better and oud oil it's for everyday use you need you find the perfect one for enie ocasión

[@shaz9530]

Great video. Great art. However, i was wondering if this is permissible to wear in islam? I have many aftershaves which include ambergris mixed in with ouds and vanilla and smell beautiful. Was wondering if you can answer this for me brother.

[@EnsarOud]

It is permissible according to Abu Hanifa 🙌🏻

[@shaz9530]

Thank you very much for your answer and clearing this worry i had. Really appreciate it. Time to empty my wallet on this stuff haha!

[@otlw_kng_mskbr]

​@@EnsarOudAbu Hanifa ra. is not the Rasulallah (ﷺ) and everybody less than him can be wrong and first of all, definitely all feces are impure but Allah knows best. Tbh I wouldn't risk losing Allah's love and mercy for the feces of a whale. Khair in'sha'allah

[@dawoadalyaquobi8271]

Hi hope to pay ambergris

[@catdaddy6498]

Your guest is a nice guy but I don’t think he is the most honest on account of he’s your friend and doesn’t want to offend ..I think you should get some more blunt/unapologetic guest that won’t just be yes men so it would be more interesting.respectfully

[@sintytyson]

Wrong, shit is shit! But I guess you know what you know!
