Thomas Kosmala

Wild Stride

Wild Stride by Thomas Kosmala is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with galbanum and bergamot, moves into pineapple and smoke and dries down to frankincense, patchouli and oakmoss. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
• Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.

Heart

• Pineapple Tangy, boozy and tropical. Loud and hard to hide.
• Smoke Charred and dry. Adds drama fast.

Dry-down

• Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
• Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
• Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
