If your anticipation for all things autumnal is already in high gear and you know you're going to need more than just scarf-swaddled sips of pumpkin spice latté to get you through, we got you. You can now become autumn's signature thirst trap.

Native deodorant brand is poised to launch a sweat smell game changer: pumpkin spice latté scented underarms. Yes, enter the age of the autumn armpit. Don't worry, there's no dairy in it and it's all natural (all Native's cosmetics are), so you'll be doing your body gourd. Sorry. Still, Native swears you'll get no parabens, phthalates or aluminum when you go full pumpkin pit with their product. If you want to become smell twinsies with fall's most beloved and be-loathed bevie, this is your underarm stick. And don't mind the PSL haters as you sweat in stride with the season.   

Full disclosure: I don't get the pumpkin spice latté hate. But then I'd gladly bathe in a hollowed out pumpkin filled to overflowing with the stuff. Colour me basic if you must, I kind of cotton to the idea of pumpkin spice inspired perspiration. Why not? While detractors scoff in increasingly loud voices in hopes they'll blast basics (scent shame?) enough to relegate every pumpkin spice latté to history's waste bin, Native is doubling down on the seasonal smell everyone loves to (pretend to) hate. And they're certainly not the first outfit to integrate the scent of harvest bounty and spice. Oreo has a PS cookie, David's Tea offers a PS chai, Planter's released PS covered almonds, General Mills even launched limited edition PS Cheerios (ideally, to go with your morning latté and freshly applied body odour). Will the trend ever finally jump the pumpkin patch?

Probably not. Which means it's no longer a trend. It's just a basic flavour, like vanilla, chocolate or caramel. The noses of the people have spoken, even if some remain turned up. I say don't sweat wanting to smell like a cup of comfort, no matter how plain you find the idea. Frankly, there's nothing more basic than worrying about being basic.

What's more, I hope they're slating a candy cane and gingerbread roll-on for winter. So there.
