Pumpkin Spice Fragrance Is Big In Beauty & Household Cleaning

Beauty’s foodie trend continues to whet consumer appetites alongside unique sensorials and longevity. With autumn in the air, that goes double for pumpkin spice everything.

Per Yelp, searches for “pumpkin spice latte” and “pumpkin latte” this past July increased by 301% and 256%, respectively, compared with the same search data from the prior year.

Yelp Trend Expert Tara Lewis told The Food Institute that excitement is brewing as restaurants update their seasonal menu offerings. The same is ringing true for the beauty and household care industries.

“Pumpkin spice is a scent and flavor that doesn’t lose its season luster year after year,” Lindsey Scales, VP of marketing at Tree Hut told Happi. “The scent has gone beyond a trend, and it’s an expectation from fall-obsessed girlies including myself. There is something about Pumpkin Spice that cues our busy brains to slow down and realize we are about to embark on the busy holiday season, so take an extra moment to drink the latte, scrub the scrub, light the candle!”
