Scent Notes
Top Notes (Pumpkin, Persimmon, Fresh Cassis):
Crisp, golden, and green, the scent opens fresh and bright like a just-picked pumpkin.
Middle Notes (Rosemary, Pumpkin Vines, Sage):
Earthy and herbaceous, this layer brings a snap of freshness that captures a crisp fall day.
Base Notes (Pine, Cedarwood, Clove):
A grounding finish of soft woods and a hint of spice that adds a touch of warmth.
Inspiration
Not your basic pumpkin spice candle. Pumpkinhead embodies a sunny fall afternoon with a crispness in the air. You’re weaving through the pumpkin patch, boots crunching leaves, on the hunt for the perfect one. It’s fresh, herbal, and bright—more raw pumpkin and earth than sugar and spice. Inspired by comfort Halloween movie marathons, the charm of a corn maze, and the nostalgia of pumpkin carving. All the little things that make fall feel like fall.
“I have a running list of Halloween movies I love with pumpkin-related characters in them. This is where the name came from. I’m obsessed with everything pumpkin, but I didn’t want the usual pumpkin-pie version. I kept thinking how good fresh pumpkin smells when you carve it, and how underrated that scent is. So I leaned into that, added herbal notes and some earthiness to give it a twist while still feeling like fall.”
