                                Since 2015, the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte has included a pumpkin sauce made with real pumpkin puree, but the drink's signature aroma and flavor are a complex blend of multiple compounds. This combination of ingredients and flavor chemicals is what defines the unique and comforting taste profile of the classic Starbucks pumpkin spice.
