Now that the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back for the season, other brands have been working to incorporate the iconic fall scent into their products, including The Body Shop, which recently released its 'Vanilla Pumpkin' line.
Included in the line are hand creams, body lotions, and shower gels, which feature prominent notes of hazelnut, tonka bean, pumpkin, and maple syrup. With these combinations, the products leave users with a warm scent that's perfect to wear in the dropping temperatures that the change in season brings.
In order to highlight the fragrances that the products boast, each comes in festive pumpkin-hued packaging that makes it great for displaying on one's shelves or gifting to a friend or family member.
