The pampering brand has released bubble bars, bath bombs and even a new candle for cosy season
It’s September now, so with the arrival of the ‘ber’ months it feels safe to say that cosy season is officially here. Pumpkin spice seems to be popping up everywhere, whether that’s in coffees, cakes or even wax melts – and Lush got the memo.
Lush has had its finger on the pulse when it comes to scents, Sticky Dates was a viral sensation last year that still has a loyal fanbase. They may be known for their bath bombs but they’re not limited to just that, with body sprays and candles also being a hit.
They’ve crafted a new Pumpkin Spice range with a £28 body spray, £16 single-wick candle and even a Pumpkin Spice Latte shower gel.

The Pumpkin Spice body spray has brought in mixed reviews, with one shopper saying: “It should have been called pumpkin spices, it is all the spices you’d put in pumpkin pie, minus the pumpkin.”
It is worth noting that pumpkin spice typically means an American spice blend typically consisting of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
The spicy scent has proven popular with other shoppers, with one writing: “I bought this recently and I’m so glad I did! This has a gorgeous scent, this body spray smells like the spices in a Pumpkin Spice Latte, lovely spicy notes of cinnamon, clove and ginger, sweet notes of vanilla, warm notes of brandy and background notes of juicy raisins. This body spray is absolutely divine! Such a gourmand scent.”

There are body sprays, bubble bars and even a candle in the range
The Body Shop has also released a Sugar Pumpkin body spray for £13. While the scent isn’t spicy it does have a cosy body butter type smell that’s great for evenings in.
The Lush Pumpkin Spice candle has only brought in one review, but it’s a perfect five-stars. They wrote: “Perfect for cuddling down under the blanket with a film and cocoa.”
Yankee Candle has also launched a trio of autumnal scents this year, including Golden Pumpkin which aims to evoke nostalgia with ginger, cinnamon and caramel. The large candle is £30 which is far more expensive but it has a burn time of up to 100 hours.
Of course it wouldn’t be a Lush release without bubbles. There’s a Punkin Pumpkin bath bomb (£5.50), Pumpkin Spice And Everything Nice bubble bar (£7.50) and Pumpkin Crumble Bubbleroon (£9).
