What its composition says

2 materials on top, 2 in the heart, 3 in the base: the three stages are of comparable size.
Posidonia: no other perfume page lists it — of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue, Aqva Pour Homme is the only one to use this material.
Amber: conversely, a material of the common core — 32% of the catalogue contains it.
Woody, marine, citrus and amber: 4 registers of raw materials share its palette, with woody supplying 2 of 7.
