Pumpkin Pie

This smells exactly like my grandma's pumpkin pie (which was technically more squash than pumpkin, but who's counting?). When I'm missing her, I can spritz this and it takes me right back to Thanksgiving dinner at her house. You can almost hear the women working in the kitchen and the men watching football in the living room, while my brother and I peek under all the aluminum foil tops to see which pies are pumpkin and which are cherry. Pumpkin was my favorite, of course, and that smell has so much nostalgia for me. You definitely get a lot of spices here, which is how real pumpkin pie smells to me. I open a can of plain pumpkin on a regular basis to feed my dog, and the pumpkin alone does not have a strong smell, so I wouldn't expect that to stand out in a "pumpkin pie" perfume. And I, personally, don't care whether it smells like crust since I didn't eat that part as a kid, but I believe I did detect a hint of that wheat-y aroma this morning. It doesn't last long - maybe 30 minutes to an hour - which works for me, because I don't want to smell like pumpkin pie all day. Just a spritz in the morning (to extend the scent of my pumpkin-ginger hair conditioner), or a quick pick-me-up on a gloomy fall afternoon is divine. I also find it nice to layer with other scents that contain ginger or spice to enhance those notes. Today I spritzed this on my hair and Ralph Lauren Romance on my wrists, and it was a lovely combination that played up the warm ginger. I wasn't up for shelling out money for the full bottle, so I opted for the purse spray. It's portable, you still have the convenience of the spray, and there's less chance of breakage since it's plastic. Win-win!

Pumpkin Pie Spice & Pumpkin Pie... First Impression: As other reviewers have mentioned, this is heavy on the spices of pumpkin-pie (or pumpkin-pie spice blend). However, the pumpkin here comes out after a little bit of aging. What I get for the pumpkin note is a fruity-floral sweetness like a mix of persimmon & cinnamon-dusted cantaloupe. The pumpkin note here also reminds me a little of Persimmon by Demeter. The baked pie element comes out as well after aging, so now I'm getting something very close to pumpkin-pie. I'm a fan of these spices to begin with - cinnamon, clove, ginger and a hint of nutmeg (not listed). Just gorgeous! It's a love for me. Enjoy!

Perfect Pumpkin Pie scent! I am a loyal Bath and Body Works shopper, but Demeter's Pumpkin Pie blows any BBW pumpkin scent right out of the water. It smells of pumpkin, sugar, and spices in just the right balance to mimic pumpkin pie. If you like BBW pumpkin scents but never feel like they quite capture the right fragrance (sacrilege!), then try this one from Demeter. For an even more amped-up, realistic version of pumpkin pie, try combining this with Demeter's Vanilla Ice Cream. Heavenly! Also, it may sound strange, but I find that this scent combined with Demeter's Patchouli creates a perfect fall/Halloween combo for me.

This smells like cinnamon pinecones. It’s very spicy and should be named pumpkin spice instead of pumpkin pie. It’s Halloween spirit, Thanksgiving vibes, and Christmas cheer, all mixed into one bottle.

I just got this and I love it, but it reminds me of gingerbread and cinnamon more than pumpkin, but it also does give off a slight pumpkin smell? Very amazing for autumn and winter
