Niven Morgan creates luxurious, fragrant skin care for men which offers masculine scents and optimum results. The summer 2013 collection includes bath products, body lotion, hand cream, cologne and home fragrances. Rob tested out the body lotion, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand cream, hand lotion and body wash from three of Niven Morgan’s fragrance groups. The results were amazing!
Rob works out and plays a lot of tennis; as a result, his hands get dry easily. To combat his dry hands, Rob tested out Niven Morgan’s “Jean Baptiste 1717” hand lotion and also Niven Morgan’s “Gold” hand cream. He tested the two hand products on different days, and they both did wonders for his hands! Love that!
Rob has fine, slightly wavy hair. He tested out Niven Morgan’s “Blue” shampoo and conditioner. Normally, conditioner make his hair look instantly greasy, but not Niven Morgan’s! This conditioner softened his hair without adding weight or leaving a film. The shampoo worked perfectly too, it left his hair squeaky clean!
For the body lotion, Rob tested out Niven Morgan’s “Blue” body lotion. The lotion worked well and left his skin moisturized after a day outside in the sun playing tennis. He also enjoyed using Niven Morgan’s “Blue”body wash in the shower. The body wash has a nice fragrance and left his skin squeaky clean. Perfect!
Niven Morgan’s “Jean Baptiste 1717” collection features fragrance notes of Water hyancinth, jasmine, tuberose, wild rose, princess lily, caramel, creamy vanilla, rich woods and warm patchouli. The result is a warm, slightly gourmand yet masculine fragrance experience perfect for cool or moderate weather; and foggy Bay Area days!
The “Gold” collection by Niven Morgan offers warm, woody fragrance experience with notes of vanilla, amber, neroli, bergamot, sandalwood and musk. This fragrance works well in moderate to warm weather and offers a luxurious scent.
Lastly, the “Blue” fragrance collection for men by Niven Morgan combines cool and spicy fragrance notes of amber, sandalwood, lemon, mandarin and bergamot. This is the perfect fragrance experience for warm and hot weather.
Rob rates the Niven Morgan summer 2013 fragrance collection for men five out of five stars! (tested and reviewed by Rob, written by Cathy)
