For pumpkin pie, I usually not use spice. Sometimes a hint cinnamon or ginger. But no mix.
But for a soup or a stew, I’ll probably be using a mix of cumin and ginger or simply the seasonings I usually have in the dish whether it has pumpkin or not. For roasted pumpkin, definitely cumin.
In France will call “épices à pain d’épices”, ginger bread spice mix, mix composed of cinnamon, ginger, clove, nutmeg and star anis. But we don’t call the many winter dish ginger bread flavour. For exemple, it is use in ginger breads or all types, winter cookies or hot wine. It more associated with winter than fall.
What seasonings do you use?
It depends on the dish.
Pumpkin pie. The whole pumpkin spice thing comes from the pie.

Well, yeah those are the spices that create “pumpkin spice”
I never use a mix either, but pumpkin spice usually contains,
Cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and/or nutmeg. One recipe I found called for mace, but I skipped it because the store didn’t have any.
