I had to go look up what that means. At first, I thought it was some weird bromance thing.
This was sort of helpful:

At a local cyclocross race last fall, I noticed a new rider observing quizzically as an elite racer rubbed a pungent amber substance over his calves and thighs. It was cold and rainy, but the racer rolled to the start wearing nothing more than a helmet, shoes, and a long-sleeved skinsuit.
"Won't his legs get cold?" the rookie asked a member of the expert's entourage.
"He's using some pretty powerful embrocation, so his legs won't get cold for hours," the person replied. "In fact, he's worried about overheating."
"Em-bro-cation," the newbie muttered. "I'll have to get some of that—whatever the heck it is."
I just use SPF50 sunscreen. Obviously can't help with the embrocation advice, since I didn't know what it was.
