what is whale vomit used for
Making the world better, one answer at a time. Whale vomit is called Ambergris, and it is/was used in the perfume industry. It is highly valuable if it has been floating around for a few years, getting washed and polished by the sea and baked by the sun, losing its pungent smell and developing a sweet aroma.hale vomit (technically called Ambergris) was once used as an ingredient in perfumes because of the earthy fragrance it aquires with age. It is rarely used in modern day perf â¦ umes and has been replaced by synthetic ingredients that produce the same scent. + 101 others found this useful. Patty Pasquin.
