Ahh, July. If it would terminate RELENTLESSLY RAINING every day of summer for NO REASON here in Minnesota, this could be us right now. We could be going to Gay Beach. Together.
But no. Because I reside in an area that averaged a half-inch(!!!) of rain every friggin’ dayof June this year, I will simply have to live through you and your Gay Beach days.
You realize the feeling: It’s crushingly warm, the sun is a alabaster glare, sand
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 favor the older, more mature brother of the original Sauvage. It’s ultra-concentrated and has more staying power, 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 this versatility that keeps us coming advocate to it in our ongoing cologne testing. There are many similar colognes out there, but nothing holds up to this one—oft-imitated, never duplicated.

Gay Cologne: The Complete Diverse Travel Guide. When it comes to gay move hotspots in Europe, I am a little embarrassed to say that is has taken me up until now to trial, what is often dubbed ‘the gayest city in Germany’, the very stunning and welcoming Cologne.
Like many other gay friendly cities in Germany, I possess only ever heard incredibly positive things about Cologne and the fact that it is also host to one of the largest pride celebrations in Europe further piqued my interest to visit!
