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

I love this fragrance! Perfect for Autumn and Winter. Especially the holidays. Mostly cinnamon, but also pumpkin cloves and spices.

Smells just like a pumpkin pie, but add a little more sweetness. Think like icing sweetness. Love this for the fall, it’s amazing.

At first there is a super blast of spicy bright cinnamon. It is slightly reminiscent of cinnamon sticks and cinnamon pine cones, but there's a hint of "bakery" in there as well. After it rests for a while a soft hint of pumpkin puree seeps through, I can also detect a bit of pie crust in there which actually helps it smell more authentic. It becomes a mellower scent as it wears, and yes, I believe it is quite a good representation of sticking your nose up to a cold slice of pumpkin pie with fresh whipped cream on top. It is not in its "baking in the oven" phase. Not a warm scent. There are a few layers to it. It's just pretty heavy on the cinnamon. So if you don't like cinnamon - steer clear.

Okay okay the moment I smelt it I felt like I was in the kitchen baking a pie with lots of pumpkin SPICE. I'm not sure I'm getting the pumpkin per se, it could be a homemade apple-pie for all I care, HOWEVER I can clearly smell both the crust (baked butter and sugar in the filling as well) and all the spices (cinnamon, clove, ginger AND nutmeg, you can't fool me). What's not to love about that?!

I got this scent as a gift. It smells really nice, however you'd have to include it in your purse as it isn't very long lasting. Probably best to layer this scent with body lotions and the like.

One of few Demeters I've tried that has some sillage and longevity. I don't get much pumpkin but the pie spices are spot on. Good autumn scent. Lasts several hours on me.

Pumpkin pie spices, especially cinnamon. Nothing more, nothing less. Nothing sugary. I enjoy it.

Its nice. Autumn spices. Something baked but sadly it isn’t pumpkin pie.

Will be really great layered with a vanilla or cream scent in Fall

smells nothing like pumpkin which makes since considering pumpkin isn't a strong scent but to add the word PIE and have it not smell like it is atrocious. False advertisement aside. The perfume smells heavy on ginger and raw strong cinnamon. If you have other cinnamon scents it could pair well. It's not a terribloe scent by any means it's just spicy and not creamy and cake like as you would expect from the word PIE. But the perfume is quite nice you can pair it with bath and body caramel swirl to sweaten it. The spices scent stay on your body but it doesnt travel around the place which is a good thing if we're considerign wearing it in the summer. overall: 7/10 just because it wasn't what i was looking for!

I agree that this is cinnamon and nothing much else. Not pie, not particularly sugary and I’m not getting a sense of pumpkin at all sadly.... Jealous of those who get more! On the plus side, pretty sure this will be great for adding a christmassy spice to other perfumes. Edit! I sniffed this again on a cold December day and I could smell some earthy pumpkin! It’s subtle but it’s there! Still not much in the way of a pastry vibe but that’s fine by me!

Smells JUST like pumpkin pie on paper so I was pretty excited, but when I sprayed it on my wrist it unfortunately turns into 90% cinnamon-- it doesn't smell bad by any means, just not like pie. Could just be my body chemistry or whatever, and it's an easy fix since it layers nicely with a buttercream or vanilla scent! That helps bring it back to a pie scent instead of a cinnamon gum scent lol.

Beautiful pumpkin pie fragrance, but it just doesn’t last :( Opens as a warm pumpkin spice, then some of the buttery baked goods note lingers. I really want to love this one but can’t in good conscience recommend it because the longevity is terrible, it disappears within a couple of hours. I probably won’t repurchase it.

I did love this scent once, but I have to edit my previous review about it. The more I wore it the worse it got. This smells less like pumpkin pie and more like cheap idea of pumpkin pie. Imagine the smell associated with public restrooms and someone has sprayed some cinnamon Febreeze over it, so now it just smells like rotten cinnamon chemicals. I had to throw it away, I couldn't take it anymore.

This is a little harsh. It reminds me of an aerosol room spray instead of a perfume. The spice is abrasive and it is lacking in the sweet/yummy elements of pumpkin pie.

I used to wear this when I was in my mid 20s. I recently bought a new bottle and I was reminded of how much we grow and change as people, and how our tastes change overtime. Back when I wore this, for some reason, I considered it the height of sophistication and sensuality to wear this combined with Demeter's Lavender fragrance. That's right, pumpkin pie and lavender. Now, I'm sure it wasn't a terrible mix (if it was no one said anything and I do remember receiving compliments on it). There is something rather charming about this sweet, spicy fragrance. It really does smell like pumpkin pie spice, which is a mix of cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. I bought this again because I thought it might be fun to wear over the holidays, but it's not something I can wear now. Not all my fragrances need to be sophisticated, I do have plenty of fun, lighthearted, and cheap and cheerful perfumes in my collection of 80 full-size bottles. But this is just too twee for me now, wearing it would be like continuing to buy clothing from Mod Cloth. It's just not who am at the moment. Today, if I want something warm and spicy to wear in the colder months I'll reach for Cacharel's Loulou, Chanel's Coco, Estee Lauder's Youth Dew or Lush's Tumeric Latte.

I ordered this perfume without smelling it first. I found on tiktok a woman was saying that men get excited by pumpkin fragrances, so I started to search for a pumpkin perfume, especially that I love pumpkin pie and I was expecting at a very sweet and tasty perfume, but by contrary the smell of it is pure cinnamon, nothing sweet in it, it put you literally off. For me, this is more a masculine scent. I asked my hubby what he thinks of it ( I still had expectance that he will reply it excites him haha) but he said it makes him nauseous and it s disgusting the smell. They should name it "cinnamon" instead of pumpkin, it really is no trace of pumpkin or sweetnes inside of this one.

Allspice and wheat. Interesting, but I think it fades into "Red Hots" candy territory instead. I like this, and I still get that "can of pre-made pumpkin pie filling" vibe, though, just wish it lasted longer. The wheat note totally disappears. Oddly enough, my old nemesis, Ginger, remains undetected...where it SHOULD be o`.'o I've never used Demeter's reed diffusers, but I imagine this would be a good, if not cliche, choice for one. I swear I don't wear uggs. ...I might wear uggs.

This smells nothing like pumpkin pie. It smells like allspice seasoning. With the absence of any kind of crust notes and the lack of any, well, pumpkin, there can be no "pumpkin" pie. Also, poor Demeter lasting power, yet again. Demeter's lasting power issues make me so sad. Like "shaking-my-head-in-silence-for-two-minutes-straight" kind of sad.

I don't get anything Pumpkin or pie from this, to me this is straight up cinnamon. It smells exactly like those cinnamon scented pinecones in the red mesh bag they sell in the grocery stores every holiday season. That's not to say I dislike this at all, it does smell quite good- if you love cinnamon and were not hoping for pumpkin.

Fun to wear. Smells like pumpkin pie...the nutmeg, the cinnamon, even the crust, butter and cream, all there. Not sure if I would like to wear this too much, maybe to the pumpkin patch that we take the kids to around Halloween as a novelty scent for the day. Otherwise I think this one is going to be a room fragrance.

Cinnamon and vanilla is the most intensive and only notes i got from my skin when i apply this delicious fragrance. Simply, warm, makes you want to eat cake. For cols raining days is great. Just without complexicity and sophistication.

Nice idea, but all I got were cinnamon and cloves. It's more like pumpkin spice than pumpkin pie. Also, it is the cinnamon broom type smell which bothers me, not a cooking cinnamon smell.

This scent was really disappointing to me. Light on the pumpkin, HEAVY on the spice. I smelled like my grandmother wearing it, and not in an endearing way.

I am disappointed! All of the other Demeter scents are super realistic, but this one just smells like cinnamon. No buttery crust notes at all. Sadface.

hayatımda kullandığım en mide bulandırıcı koku bu oldu. 1 kez kullandım ve doğruca çöpe gitti.

I would love to try this! You can never have to much Pumpkin Pie in any form :).
