Fragrance experts agree, pumpkin spice is here to stay! ???????? ? Maraga Martens, our Associate Vice President of Merchandising recently spoke with Retail Dive to share insights on the staying power of pumpkin spice, its transportive ability and how Gingham Nation comes together to create and reinvent America's most-loved fall fragrances year after year. To draw inspiration for this year's collection, our merchandising team traveled to the Hudson Valley in Upstate New York to experience the timeless nostalgia of apple picking and autumn wreaths. From classics like Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, first introduced into our portfolio more than 20 years ago, to fresh fragrances like Champagne Apple & Honey, our teams continue to bring newness and excitement to this fan favorite season! "'Pumpkin could connect you back to fond memories of fall — that could be time with family or friends during a holiday, walking through a park as the leaves change or cozying up next to a bonfire,' Martens said. 'When you think fall, you think pumpkin — it truly places you in that seasonal mindset.'
