Most popular cologne for gay men
Scents that every gay guy wore back in the day
This is a spin-off from the Parfum thread.
There are two I recall the best were the big two for men from the late Eighties and early 90s: Obsession for Men, and Fresh Water by Davidoff. I remember everywhere I went in in NYC you would smell Obsession for Men: at the gym, at clubs, at film theaters in the Village. It was popularly said to smell like 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 Chilly Water in the promptly 90s, which smelled so clean and fresh. It does not smell dated to me now the way Obsession for Men does, though I would not use it myself now.
What were the giant gay scents in your heyday, and did you use them? Do you feel the same way about them now that you did then?

Arquiste
Founded in by Carlos Huber, an architect and restoration specialist from Mexico, Arquiste practices olfactive restoration, which translates to historical storytelling through perfumery. The mark believes:
A scent is a time capsule. It can invoke our most intimate memories and dreams, and open doors to distant Thats a attractive odd question, right? How gay is your scent? I indicate, were all just out there trying to decipher the odour profile of a scent and what the heck it smells like, not to mention whether we like it or not, or whether it has enough longevity and sillage to receive us through the day, right? Let alone trying to labor out how queer it is for Petes sake! What does that even mean, anyway? How can a scent be queer? Is that even a thing? This is a question Ive been asking myself a lot recently. Ever since i shot some queer-inspired photos for my review of Frederic Malles Superstitious, in fact. Being a member of the LGBTQIA community (yes, we like our letters because its important to be inclusive) I have always felt that one of the key drivers for true acceptance is representation. Whether people are accepting of the community or not, it exists and queer people have the right to be represented in all mediums, whether that be in movies, music, art, or even perfume. This is something I want to explore in this little think piece, but it "A fragrance that is both classic and modern, vibrant and engaging. A spicy, oriental perfume, developed on the harmony of tobacco with refined boisé notes."6x Jasmine Award Winner
