Pumpkin spice is as much a symbol of fall as crisp air and falling leaves. From lattes to candles, the cozy, nostalgic scent has become a cultural phenomenon. But how did this blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and allspice become the essence of autumn?

From Pie to Pop Culture

Pumpkin spice has flavored pies for centuries, originally used by early American settlers to evoke warmth and harvest. The real pumpkin spice boom came in 2003, when Starbucks introduced the Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL). Its success was immediate, with its comforting flavor becoming the quintessential fall treat. Soon, pumpkin spice appeared in everything—candles, cereals, even dog treats.
