Pumpkin Swirl Cake

Gourmands can be very hit or miss I feel... They last a million years because their nuclear industrial strength notes, they can feel very smothering (they definitely don't make good summer fragrances I feel), and too much of it can make one feel ill from all that sweetness... But I really like Pumpkin Swirl Cake :] I think it avoids the biggest issues that gourmands might have as long as you don't use too much of it :] It's sweet but not overbearingly so, and it doesn't feel smothering!! And again, as long as you don't use too much of it, the length they last is a big positive :] It smells a lot like vanilla (unsurprising for a gourmand), but with a significant bit of spicy cinnamony pumpkiny ness to it :] It's a very warm scent too, I think it matches fall and winter time best. I think the best way to describe it is that it smells like a baked dessert fresh out of the oven!! If you put too much on it'll become sickeningly sweet, but as long as you don't overdo it you get a cozy warm scent to accompany you all day :] I have the lotion specifically, but I assume this all applies to the perfume too!!

this is definitely not a classy scent by any means but it's perfect for fall without being so pumpkin-heavy that you can't wear it in winter, and without being so spice-heavy that you end up smelling like a candle. the opening is definitely a bit cloying to me similarly to pumpkin pecan waffles, but this is much more wearable to me. the pumpkin/spice notes are definitely noticeable when your nose is close to your skin, but the sillage is more of just a caramelized, warm, cakey, creamy scent with just a hint of pumpkin which i'm grateful for since the pumpkin aspect of this is probably my least favorite part of the fragrance. personally, this is loud on me and projects quite a bit and lasts well, especially on clothes. it's no beast like pumpkin pecan waffles, but i honestly prefer that about this one.

This is Amazing , I hardly smell any pumpkin spice tho only in the beginning my nose is stunged with that pumpkin spice but at the dry down I get that sweet ooey caramel toffee smell I love it 😍, my only problem it does have this cakey smell that I realize bath and body works has put in other famous gourmand scents that I don’t really like only because I don’t want my scents to smell repetitive but that smell only last a couple of minutes , but when I smell it it reminded me of Happy Birthday without the caramel and pumpkin and also Joy sugared snickerdoodle . Overall this scent is really nice reminds me of a sweet milky homemade caramel

I love this scent. I’m so happy BBW finally did a pumpkin spray right. Even though it’s called pumpkin swirl cake, you definitely get more caramel and buttery notes and I love it. Smelling it makes me want to go to a cafe shop and eat and drink seasonal beverages and cakes. Literally want to take a bite out of myself. As a fall loving girly, this really makes me feel like it’s a crisp 55 degrees outside and I have a delicious caramel cake right in front of me. Highly recommend if you love gourmands.

pumpkin spice, caramel snickerdoodle, and vanilla. lasts very long on me, i sprayed it on my wrist this morning at 12pm and i can still smell it now at 12am. if you like pumpkin pecan waffle or vanilla bean noel, youll like this. the dry down is very similar to vanilla bean noel, with the spice notes almost gone. towards the start its more like a subtle version of pumpkin pecan waffles. pairs well with vanilla scents if you cant get the full bodycare set. definitely a warm scent
