What a pretty gay scent for bos

There are plenty of LGBTQ events throughout the year, so like it or not, locals are all too aware of the big gay presence that Cologne holds. It's famous for its gay scene and gay events, in particular, Cologne Pride and Cologne Carnival in November. The scent is earthy, with notes of warwood, fresh basil, and cedarwood – not exactly what you’d think of when you hear “glam rock,” but pleasant nonetheless.

This could mainly be due to the number of caffeine millennials are drinking these days though…. This is our comprehensive travel guide to Cologne, including the best gay bars, clubs, events, hotels to stay in and so much more. There is a constant hive of activity buzzing throughout the halls, from families to cute couples.

The city is bursting with queer-centric spaces, so everyone here is pretty much used to the LGBTQ presence. A long day of strutting around the city can really take it out of you. There are over rooms in the hotel, so expect it to feel busy at all times.

To put it simply, the locals are welcoming to all people, as long as they themselves are friendly and laid back. Cologne is in fact well known for having the most pubs per person in all of Germany, largely thanks to it having such a big student population. When you need a timeout from the craziness, there is a fabulous sauna.

A simple rose scent with startling longevity for a cologne, Red Roses opens with notes of lemon and a hint of mint before settling pleasurably into its own plush heart, which is heart-shaped, of course, and strewn with a airy blanket of silken scarlet petals.

Our gay travel guide to Cologne has everything you need to know about the city's exciting gay scene including the best gay bars, clubs, saunas, restaurants, hotels, and more. Plus, with two gay scenes, on either side of the Rhine river, and a young population, there is nothing but acceptance for our homosexual family here!

Simply walking through the Old Town is enough to convince you of the wonders Cologne has to offer. So, whether you're looking for a fabulous, expensive city gay getaway, or just passing through whilst backpacking across Europe, Cologne has plenty of options for you. With an underground train station known as the S-Bahn, navigating between places was quick, efficient, and super cheap.

Like Boy Smells’ option, Rainbow Bar is inspired by California: LA, specifically, and the ‘80s glam-rock era. An artistic city, Cologne is in many ways a cultural hub. With its unique architecture, quaint shops, and ancient buildings, it feels like a place from a bygone era.

Cologne is vying with the gay scene of Berlin to become the undisputed gay capital of Germany, and for good reason. Nothing but the best for the Gay Pimp – he wears Play by Givenchy. Close to all the famous landmarks of the city, this hotel is sophisticated, whilst still feeling super modern.

I've found most other fougeres (Platinum Egoiste, PDM Percival, Diptyque Eau de Minthe) and "green" scents (Brunello Cucinelli Pour Homme, Jo Malone Silver Birch & Lavender) play really well with the gays - even guys who swear they "hate fragrance.". With a variety of bars and clubs on either side of the city, we loved sampling pieces of each scene.

We found the east to have more traditional bars and clubs, with more mature crowds. Ideal for when you just need some quiet time, the sauna is a sanctuary for all those who work hard and play hard, but now just want to put their feet up and have a snooze. Julie smells pretty sexual herself, and she sprays on.

On top of this, there are so many gay friendly spaces, from restaurants to hotels, plus many queer-centric events held throughout the year. And that’s our vote for the sexiest cologne worn by a boy we know. Perfect for the savvy, Insta-obsessed gay traveler, the 25hours cater to quirky millennials who have their eyes glued to the horizon.

That means if you book something through one of those links, we'll get a small commission, at no extra cost to you. It's also a university town, so expect to see lots of young crowds in their early 20s, wandering around with big eyes filled with dreams and aspirations. Luckily, Cologne has a range of fabulous hotels to rest your pretty head.

With art, literature, and music bursting from every street corner, anyone with any creative inclination would find it hard not to be inspired.
