That Fahrenheit was the gay man’s olfactory weapon
of choice, as McVie commented, appears to be true across the Pacific Ocean, as
well. In an article entitled “Smells Like Queen Spirit,” Radar magazine
consulted Christopher Brosius (of Demeter) about what turns noses off, and
on.

MEN SEEKING
MEN

TURN-ONS:
?
The same ancient incense smells that women use to attract men also work for men
seeking to attract men. ?Think back to the Fahrenheit years. When that
came out, every gay bar in New York stank of Fahrenheit.?

? Women?s perfume.
?I?ve run into more than a few men over the years who have worn
women?s fragrances. Some of them wear Chanel No. 5 or Chanel No.
19.?

? Violet?a
scent that until the 20th century was considered unisex. ?The gay men I
know who really love violet definitely pick the girlier varieties, even though
they may not be really girly
themselves.?

TURNOFFS:
?
Ocean scents. Although many gay men have an affinity for poking around sand
dunes, apparently most gays don?t have the same response to the fragrance
of the sea.
