Bulemic Whales!!!

I have known this stuff was used in perfume, but I didn't think a find was that rare. I'll have to pay more attention to the beaches during whale season around my shores.

What a coincidence. Mrs Fury and I were eating breakfast this morning and were talking about if whales vomited, what would it look like...

These are essentially "hairballs" of whales. I read a fascinating book last year about the perfume industry and smell science that introduced these to me.
Started buying my wife more expensive perfume siince reading it.
