Cologne for gay guys

Scents that every gay man wore back in the day

This is a spin-off from the Parfum thread.

There are two I retain the best were the great two for men from the late Eighties and early 90s: Obsession for Men, and Hip Water by Davidoff. I recall everywhere I went in in NYC you would smell Obsession for Men: at the gym, at clubs, at movie theaters in the Village. It was popularly said to smell prefer sex, but I found it cloying, and so many men wore it I just didn't care for it. On the other hand, I loved Hip Water in the early 90s, which smelled so clean and fresh. It does not detect dated to me now the way Obsession for Men does, though I would not utilize it myself now.

What were the big gay scents in your heyday, and did you apply them? Do you feel the same way about them now that you did then?

Gay Cologne: The Conclude LGBTQ+ Travel Guide. When it comes to gay explore hotspots in Europe, I am a little embarrassed to say that is has taken me up until now to experience, what is often dubbed ‘the gayest town in Germany’, the very beautiful and welcoming Cologne.

Like many other gay warm cities in Germany, I have only ever heard incredibly positive things about Cologne and the fact that it is also host to one of the largest movement celebrations in Europe further piqued my interest to visit!

I spent 4 nights during October experiencing as much of the city as possible, from its culinary delights (including one of the best meals I have had in a while), to its main attractions and of course it’s vibrant and super friendly queer nightlife and wider LGBTQ+ scene.

Allow me to share my gay guide to Cologne in partnership with Visit Cologne to help you plan your next trip to this city.

Is Cologne Lgbtq+ Friendly?

The 9 Best Colognes for Men in , Tested by Grooming Experts

Dior Sauvage is a classic either way you slice it (not to mention, it's the best-selling men’s fragrance in the world). This version, Elixir, is appreciate the older, more mature brother of the authentic Sauvage. It’s ultra-concentrated and has more staying might, which is always welcome when it comes to cologne. It also smells spicier thanks to notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom. It’s the spiciness that gives it a more elegant vibe while still keeping this cologne versatile enough to wear during both the night and night.

It’s bold enough to craft a statement on a date, but still subtle enough to be appropriate for the office without leaving
