Turning my attention to the fall, who doesn't love pumpkin?

I'm looking for a pleasant but unusual take on pumpkin. Foodie scents really don't work for my theme, so classic pie spices and sweet need not apply.... Looking for something could be reminiscent of pumpkin, green or fall leaves, fresh air, earthen, watery. It could be something very simple or very complex, and could accelerate and discolor.

THANK YOU!

The two pumpkins I've tried are Pumpkin Apple Streusel and Harvest Moonlight, both from WSP. Haven't used them in CP so I can't help there, but my customers really liked these two in MP.
 
I have not had luck with anything pumpkin. Most people tell me they are all pumpkin-ed out by the time October rolls around. Which is weird. I love things like spice cake during the fall. Pumpkin spice did NOT sell for me at all.
 
@Ochre+Co @Vicki C thank you! Those really sound like what I'm looking for!

@MelissaG Yep, that's precisely why I'm being cautious and looking for an unconventional pumpkin. While I love pumpkin spice flavored things, I personally wouldn't want my home or body smelling like a pumpkin pie. My audience - on a whole - doesn't really appreciate that sort of thing either -- even vanilla, with one exception, is on the no-go list.

But I am in a very pumpkin/apple/classic fall leaves location, so elements of pumpkin might be interesting for a one-off seasonal product, and if presented in a unique way that smells like a good soap/room scent, may work out very well.

It's a crap shoot though 😂
