Are you refering ambar (Ambergris) a good smell thing which always found bank of seas and it is whale' excretion or "LOBAN"?(ALOE, ALSO CALL BENZOIN) please clarify these.
Ambar and loban words used in our ginanic literature many times both have many significance, Ambar is hard to find and expensive while loban tree grow in Turkey, Africa, Java, Sumatra, the liquid gathered from tree become loban while excretion found from whale call ambar.
