Did you know that whale vomit is often used in perfumes to prolong the scent? Sperm whales produce a waxy substance, known as ambergris, that protects their stomach lining. And when regurgitated into the sea, it reacts with salt water forming the hard substance which can sell for as much as $10,000 for just a kilo. But an alternative could be on the horizon.
It must be puzzling, working for a perfume company and trying to figure out how to market it to internet users. Brazilian company Kaiak found the most amazing solution to show people just how good (I’m presuming) their cologne is.
Sure, it’s only designed for advertising purposes, and isn’t actually a real “real-world product” just yet, but this odourous display system from Taiwanese company GVision International was a pleasant surprise on the Computex floor.
