Whale Poopies
Apparently, some perfumes are made from whale excretions.
The beaks of squid lodge themselves in the digestive systems of sperm whales, forcing them to produce a waxy substance in defence. Sometimes these get large and are excreted. They float on the ocean, drying out from the sun and salt. The substance is used in perfumes, and some hunks of it have sold for $18,000.
So, if someone says you smell like whale shit... you should take it as a compliment.
One example of a perfume that smells like a giant whale turd: Chanel No. 5.
