Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte by Bath & Body Works

Smells like cheese cake, what a delicious dessert!

I’d been trying to buy this for two years from Spain and finally brought it back on holiday. Upon spraying, I was hugely disappointed: I expected a scent that would transport me to a Starbucks pumpkin spice latte on a rainy day, but instead got a slap of burnt vanilla sugar with pure marshmallow and a sweet spicy kick. Where is the pumpkin and the coffee? I can’t smell them. Mind you, it’s not what I expected, but it has spectacular longevity for a mist: it lasts on clothes until the next day and on skin for about four hours. I’ll keep searching for my autumnal scent, but I’ll use this for that tooth-tingling note perfect for chilly afternoons, cozy days, sofas and winter movies.

I have the 22 version and it was a blind buy. I had doubts because I saw reviews saying many people didn’t like it or found it too sweet. It is sweet and yes, it is gourmand, but it has such a comforting aroma, as if you were receiving a hug in your favourite jumper. I love it, although I only wear it on cloudy or cold days. It lasts about six hours on my skin and I’ve even received compliments. BBW scored a 10 on this!

This is one of my sister’s signature fragrances; she loves anything autumnal, orange and pumpkin-y. She has the 2021 version and wears it all the time. The first time I smelled it, I didn’t like it; it seemed like a campfire, but now, looking for a sugared vanilla scent, I’ve borrowed her pumpkin body mist again. With more patience, I notice the opening orange and vegetal notes, like caramelised pumpkin or carrot cake, but it doesn’t last long. The real champion is the marshmallow and praline. It might resemble Pink Sugar, but without its overwhelming potency. Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte is softer, creamier and more versatile. For me, yes. I wouldn’t buy Pink Sugar again, but I can see myself using this mist more regularly. I like MPL because it’s complex: it moves from pumpkin to sweet marshmallow and finishes with a pleasant musky vanilla. The coffee is non-existent, but it doesn’t need it. It lasts about four hours on my skin, which is fantastic. For what I was looking for, it has satisfied me quite well.

I bought it blind, delicious! I have the 2021 version and it was love at first sniff: rich, creamy and sweet, like a sweet pumpkin. I love wearing it all the time, no matter if it’s hot, because I love well-sweet fragrances. Its longevity on me is over four hours, but I love re-applying to get drunk on its scent.

I love the opening of this body mist; it’s the only moment the pumpkin is noticeable. Then a well-vanillised and caramelised scent settles in. Yes, it resembles Pink Sugar, but not even remotely like By The Fireplace…

What a lovely body fragrance. At first it’s strong, as they say, and feels unisex in the dry down. When the pumpkin comes out alongside the wood, you notice hints of praline, though very subtle. Then it wraps in a little coffee scent and finally the marshmallow joins in. It gains body and shape, and I love it! It feels like a toasted marshmallow wrapped in a note of milky coffee, delicious. I loved it; it’s very gourmand, although Strawberry Pound Cake is much sweeter and more indulgent. I recommend it totally, although if the pumpkin note doesn’t bother you, you’ll like this fragrance. As it’s a limited edition, I rushed to get it. It’s beautiful and enveloping.

I have the newest 2021 version and I truly love it. I find it slightly unisex in the opening pumpkin note with a very light spicy touch, and it sits pleasantly on my skin all day. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for an autumnal, long-lasting gourmand fragrance with good value.
