Pumpkin Pecan Waffles

I have been WAITING for them to bring this back and they finally did! As a gourmand lover (like extreme) I felt like I needed this in my collection, due to the raves of positive reviews. I was right. This is AMAZING. It is so strong, long lasting (for BBW) and pairs with so much. I actually haven't fully worn this "drenched" out and about, but when I wore it on my clothes it was SO GOOD. To me, this smells like a doughy, cinnamon, pumpkin spice scent. It's almost like a cinnamon roll but without the white sugar cream, and with pumpkin, and a slight syrup note. Most people say this is a heavy syrup scent, but I don't get that yet. Also the DRY DOWN OMG. It smells like a cinnamon cake. I am so excited for the fall weather to come so that I can fully layer and DRENCH myself in this. I haven't even had this scent for a week and I already have backups. This is also extremely close to dethroning Coconut Cream Pie's spot in my favorite BBW scent of all time, which says a lot. This is NOT a safe blind buy though at all; pretty much only for the EXTREME of the EXTREME gourmand stans. I've said enough. EDIT: OMG pair this with Santa's Blueberry Shortbread, it smells like blueberry waffles and syrup! Also the body cream of PPW is straight up maple syrup. So good. EDIT 2: I am a bit traumatized by this scent because I did my normal drenching routine for school (couldn't smell it since I go nose blind FAST), and my friend told me she could smell me ALL THE WAY ACROSS CLASS. She said it smelled like a strong candle from THAT FAR, and then I realized the people I was sitting with were all COUGHING and moving AWAY FROM ME. So I sprayed way too much and was most likely making people sick with this. Literally SO EMBARASSING I can't. Pls be careful with this..

PPW is fun. It's as gourmond as it gets. It makes a nice gift. The packaging is always darling. It's a true crowd pleaser (I don't know anyone who hasn't but enjoyed it). I love it in candle form and have burned this in my home. It's deliciously cozy. However, I don't care much for it as a personal fragrance. I'm glad it lists maple syrup as a note, because that's precisely what I get out of this, predominantly. The issue is...it doesn't really read as fresh, true *maple* syrup to me, but rather flavored Mrs. Butterworth (or whathaveyou), corn syrup "maple syrup". The gourmond/biscuit note is a little too plasticky as well, and although I like this on others as they pass by me, enjoy it in the air as a candle, and would pick this out as a gift idea, I tire of it on me after 20 minutes or so. B&BW tends to veer into sweet territory by default, even with their non-gourmonds. So, when they create true gourmond themes deliberately they have the proclivity of going too cloying for my tastes. There's nothing in here to cut the sweetness or heavy nature of this, and it's too one-dimensional and hyper-sweet for me personally. Maybe if the spices where a little drier, and stronger overall this might feel more balanced, but it's too simple and thickly sweet. That being said, projection and longevity are notably good when considering that this is a fragrance mist. It's quite autumnal 🍁

I'm not really into B&BW, but I stumbled upon the store when they were having their semi-annual sale and decided to take a peek. Pumpkin Pecan Waffle was the first thing I picked up and sampled and when I say I was transported...wow. This is easily one of the best gourmand scents I've ever smelled. This is EXTREMELY sweet. I'm not usually a maple syrup fan, but it's blended so well within this, I think because it has a buttery tone. I haven't tried the body mist since the only thing the store had was the body cream and mousse, but both of those have pretty impressive longevity, and the sillage is pretty decent. I rubbed half a pea-sized amount on my forearms and could smell it for hours later. I unfortunately got overwhelmed when I saw how long the check out line was and immediately abandoned my shopping cart so this didn't even come home with me, but I'll be going back to the store first thing tomorrow to try to get my hands on it when there's less crowd to deal with. I'm really looking forward to pairing this with a spicy / woody scent because I can see it working extremely well. May try MFK Grand Soir, and someone else mentioned layering it with MM By the Fireplace and I can totally see that. Definitely get this if you can, even if it's just the small travel size. Not a daily scent imo, but perfect for those days you want to smell like a snack.

pumpkins. pecans. maple syrup. brown sugar. walnuts, acorns. pumpkin pecan waffles is everything you'd smell in a small, quaint bakery in the middle of october. it is a true gourmand scent and literally smells edible. i'm also getting slight notes of butter, butterscotch, and cinnamon. it is insanely sweet. it smells like you spilled maple syrup all over yourself, so if you're into that sort of thing like i am, then definitely purchase this. i bought this fragrance mist in the fall of 2022. i normally buy bbw fragrances for layering, but this fragrance is great on its own. it's not a high-end or complex fragrance mist by any means, but it is a simply sweet, delicious gourmand scent. this fragrance is absolutely beautiful for those fall months, and even into the winter months as well. this layers beautifully with maison margiela's by the fireplace. when i layered this with by the fireplace, it transformed by the fireplace into an entirely different and more complex fragrance. i was blown away by how great this fragrance is for layering. on its own, it's fairly simple - and that's not a bad thing - but together with another fall/winter staple perfume, it is heavenly. i absolutely adore this fragrance mist ♡💌

It is an extremely potent gourmand scent. Not blind buy safe, not even blind buy safe for those who like gourmand fragrance either. You need to smell it before buying the whole fragrance altogether. It has an overdose of pumpkin spices ( headache inducing cinnamon, nutmeg, clove) & roasted pecans at the first spritz. The initial spray can be overwhelming to many people due to the pumpkin spicies. But the maple syrup note in the dry down is worth holding onto this fragrance. It's very delicious, creamy, warm and gooey. I don't get any waffle notes particularly in this, just a power pack punch of spices, walnuts followed by maple syrup, brown sugar and almost like a whipped cream on top of a dessert. As time goes on the dry down becomes syrupy and creamier. Supremely long lasting on skin and clothes with just a couple of sprays. I don't recommend over spraying it , people around you might get taken aback cause it's very heavy. Spray this at least half hour before going out and let the spicies settle down onto your skin. This is a unique gourmand fragrance to my nose, extremely heavy but with pure food like sweetness. It will be a winter staple for me ❤

This is the greatest thing I have ever smelled. Well, at least one of the greatest things. I, personally, love to walk around smelling like an edible scented candle or something you can go and eat at a bake shop. This is strictly gourmand maple syrup, and buttery pecan waffles but with a beautiful touch of cinnamon. If you don't like smelling completely edible, this isn't the girl for you. I was in the doctor's office waiting room, and someone walked out and said "Oh my god what is that? It's making me hungry" lol. I didn't say anything because I'm shy 😹. I bought 2 bottles because I'm completely OBSESSED. I have a million butterscotch and maple cream wax melts, and these smell pretty close to those. If you have a boyfriend, he is going to want to eat you like a snack 😹😹😹.

This is a true, true gourmand. Sweet and savory though mostly sweet. I get very little pumpkin or spice, but a lot of maple syrup, waffle and pecans! It ́s probably something I ́d stick to wearing at home when I need to feel warm and cozy. I love this so so much and my husband is a fan too! Its his favorite candle. This is also a very neutral scent that doesn ́t lean feminine, masculine or even unisex. It just smells like dessert. Its probably not recommended to go heavy on this since some people have sensitivities, but the bonus is it ́s pretty strong and long lasting for a body spray. I love it.

One of my absolute favorite B&BW scents, it is a delicious, cinnamon, rich pumpkin bread. It reminds me of whoever my mom makes banana bread, and the richness can be smelled throughout the house! (without the banana of course). This is one of the scents that I have always received compliments on, regardless of when or where. Pretty long lasting, I could smell it on me at the end of the school day. Personally, I'm not a fan of vanilla B&BW scents, as I find them uncomfortably sweet. This is absolutely not the case for PPW. I wish they would bring this back every year!

Strolling the mall I suddenly got a whiff of the most hypnotic fragrance, and my nose led me straight to Bath & Body Works. I asked what it was and was told "Pumpkin Pecan Waffles; we brought it back for fall.” Immediately bought the room spray, body lotion, and fragrance mist (launched 2021). Love to mist it on my cotton nightgown before bedtime, where it lingers until morning. This addictive, spicy gourmand can be worn in any season.✿ Scent family: Aromatic Spicy Longevity on me: moderate

I love this scent! I wasn't always a PPW girl but this year it really hit. It smells amazing, beautifully nutty, pumpkin, and syrupy. Great for fall. The only downside is that it's really only acceptable to wear it in the fall, but I still love it. I'll spray it on my jacket and scarf on a fall day, and it's also perfect to wear for Thanksgiving or any fall event. I also layer it with The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods and it smells amazing.

🍁🥞🎃 This body mist is absolutely intoxicating and yummy! The combination of maple syrup, pumpkin spice, and brown sugar creates a delightful dessert-like scent. It gives off cozy, warm, fall vibes that transport you to a high-end bakery! I sometimes layer it with Cloud by Ariana Grande which creates a heavenly blend of sweet, dreamy notes. ☁️ It's a must-have for anyone who wants to indulge in the delicious essence of autumn!! 🍂🍁🧡 🍁🥞

I don't like nearly any of BBW's fragrances, and I'm not usually someone who gravitates towards super sweet gourmands, especially not maple, but somehow I love this. To me, this smells exactly like biscoff cookies, or cookie butter. A toasty, nutty, sweet biscuity smell. Not usually my thing, but I love it. A lot of people say this is strictly an autumn smell, but I would wear this all winter, well into February.

This is EXTREMELY sweet. EXTREMELY. I have Phlur Caramel Skin and SDJ 71 and both are sweet yes but this is like 2x stronger. I love it personally, but I can 100000000% see how this would be too sweet for someone else. As it dries it turns more tolerable. It smells very pumkiny cinnamony spicy very warm and sweet. This shines in the autumn, but can be worn in winter too.

SO amazing and yummy!! this is one of the longest lasting b&bw perfumes i own, i get compliments on it quite often! it's a very very sweet fragrance, and does smell exactly like a pumpkin muffin or gingerbread :-) definitely has a caramel note too, which is wonderful because the whole perfume just blends perfectly together.

The only fragrance I've ever found that actually smells exactly like pecan. My best friend hates it, but unfortunately for her, I live for the super sweet, cloying gourmand perfumes. If you want to smell exactly like a bakery in the middle of October, this is perfect.

Super different scent, in the opening you can smell the pumpkin with a lot of candy, unfortunately this pumpkin smell only last a couple of minuts, it dry down as a sweet candy. I don't think it's woody, is super sweet. Is a great smell for the autumn

I can never get enough of this. Girls will agree. My bf doesn't love buttery scents but he said it's ok. Update: after wearing it in cold weather while at home, he is obsessed and everyone I work with agrees!

I just combined the lotion and and the body spray.. and now I smelled like a delicious, creamy, syrupy dessert!!!! I am loving it! my husband smelled from another room and said that he wanted a bite lol..

Yummm this is autumn in a bottle! pumpkin spice,cozy ,warm and it’s really strong. It has that bakery cake like scent quality to it too.Sooo happy with this scent for fall 🥰🍂

One of my favorite gourmand smells ever!! It smells like a caramel pecan waffle heaven with just enough pumpkin! Literally the most perfect autumn scent!
