According to a study at the Monell Institute in Philadelphia, the smell of Pumpkin Pie increases the arousal level in men by 40%.

If even skin on your wish list you need the power of pumpkin! A deliciously spicy, skin purifying pumpkin enzyme facial can gently digest and exfoliate dead skin cells and impurities.
