NBA player Karl-Anthony Towns has shared a surprisingly accessible grooming secret: Dove Men+Care Moisturizing Body Wash in Bourbon Vanilla and Hazelnut. The New York Knicks star revealed this personal care essential in a recent interview about his off-court must-haves.
Towns emphasized the importance of personal scent, stating, “I always got to smell good.” He praised Dove’s body washes for their “amazing” fragrance options. The particular scent he favors is Bourbon Vanilla and Hazelnut, which he finds reminiscent of his childhood. He explained that the scent reminds him of his mother's love for incense and candles, bringing him back to a sense of mindfulness. For Towns, showering is a moment of quiet and therapy amid a hectic day.
The Dove Men+Care Moisturizing Body Wash is formulated with 92% naturally derived ingredients, including plant-based moisturizers, and is free from parabens and sulfates. While the Bourbon Vanilla + Hazelnut scent is noted for its suitability for autumn, the product also comes in Blackcurrant + Cedarwood and Coconut + Guava varieties.
Currently, the body wash is available on Amazon for $9, with a $2 clickable coupon reducing the price further. The product has received positive reviews from shoppers, who describe it as smelling great, nourishing for dry skin, and providing effective odor protection. One reviewer noted its ability to complement fall and winter fragrances, calling it a “fall and winter fragrance” that did not disappoint and “smells fantastic.” Another reviewer highlighted its subtle scent and consistent compliments received.
