This doesn't really smell like pecan pie. It's more spicey (cinammon) than sweet. When I think of pecan pie I think of gooey sweetness rather than a real spicey food. It's not a bad scent by all means, just not what I was expecting. The quality of the lotion itself is amazing..sinks right in and is quite moisturizing. And yah...no bubble gum scent on dry down! :D
