Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte
by Bath & Body Works
Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte by Bath & Body Works is a sweet, creamy, and gourmand-leaning scent that evokes warm latte, marshmallow, and soft spices reminiscent of pumpkin spice without the vegetal or earthy notes. It leans heavily on vanilla, caramel, and milky coffee tones, with a powdery, musky base that gives it a cozy, slightly sweet warmth. The scent is most appreciated in autumn and winter, where its comforting, nostalgic aura complements colder months, holiday gatherings, or cozy nights in. Though it lacks strong sillage and longevity—most agree it lasts only 2–3 hours—it can be boosted with body washes, lotions, or reapplication. It pairs well with stronger scents for layering and is often praised for its comfort and pleasant sweetness, especially when used as a personal spritz or room fragrance.
Pros
- +Comforting and authentic autumnal vibe, perfect for seasonal wear during fall and winter
- +Light and non-overpowering on skin, ideal for sensitive spaces or casual wear
- +Highly compatible with layering, especially with other gourmands or spicy scents
Cons
- −Very short longevity and low sillage, requiring frequent reapplication
- −Can be cloyingly sweet and overwhelming for those sensitive to high sugar notes
- −The pumpkin note is subtle and not botanical—many describe it as spicy cinnamon or vanilla-leaning rather than actual pumpkin
