Golden Crumb is a warm carrot cake gourmand perfume with cream cheese frosting, dark muscovado sugar, spiced cake batter, confectioner’s sugar, and soft sandalwood.
BAKERY GOURMAND | SPICED | CREAMY
TOP Confectioner’s Sugar • Freshly Shredded Carrot
HEART Spiced Carrot Cake • Dark Muscovado Sugar
BASE Cream Cheese Frosting • Sandalwood
A recipe copied into the margin of a much-loved book, its pages dusted with flour and confectioner’s sugar. Brown sugar melts into the crumb as spice rises with the warmth of the oven, and somewhere nearby a wooden spoon rests against the edge of the bowl, sweet batter still clinging to it. The first slice is cut too soon, thickly swirled with tangy cream-cheese frosting and eaten while the cake is still warm, crumbs scattered across a porcelain plate beside a cup of tea gone quiet in the afternoon light.
Golden Crumb is a true bakery gourmand — opening with the earthy sweetness of freshly shredded carrot folded into spiced batter, before dark muscovado richness and a cloud of powdered sugar melt into dense, buttery cake. The frosting is generous and slightly tart, softening the sweetness and giving way to a smooth, creamy sandalwood that lingers on the skin like the memory of something homemade and deeply loved.
This fragrance is a love letter to celebration and comfort, to recipes kept for years and brought out for the moments that matter most. It was inspired by the carrot cake from my wedding day — warm with spice, thick with frosting, and forever golden.
Wear it when you want to feel soft, nostalgic, and quietly indulgent, as if you’ve stepped into a sunlit kitchen where something wonderful has just come out of the oven and you are allowed the first taste.
Warm, nostalgic, and thick with frosting — like the first slice served straight from the pan.

I love these perfumes! I have been using the two I got daily and nightly because they smell so lovely!
I love the smell. It was a little different from what I was expecting, but I'm not mad about it! It is warm and great for spring.
Such an incredible interpretation of carrot cake, sweet for sure but not fake smelling. You really get the earthiness of the carrots, and everything is smoothed so nicely by the sandalwood. It projected well and lasted for hours and hours.
Okay i love carrot cake so much, and tbis might be my new favorite scent because while sweet, its not overly sweet.
This type of scent can easily lean “gimmicky” but Golden Crumb is anything but that! It is an ambery carrot with slight earthiness. Nothing about this fragrance is too juvenile or cloying. It’s really just a beautiful interpretation of carrot cake. It has slight sweetness that balances everything out so well! I’m truly obsessed. Tara is a genius!
Let customers speak for us
from 298 reviewsoh my god is this the best thing i’ve ever smelt. absolutely nailed it. i’m obsessed with her and all the other scents i got. deff coming back for more
I am OBSESSED with this fragrance!!! I never thought I would be so eager to smell like sweet play-doh and appie slices, but from my first sniff of a sample I knew I wanted a full size as well! Wearing it immediately inspires me to be creative, sit down and work on my lil arts n crafts :) It's just so cozy and nostalgic. I think I've told just about everyone I know about this perfume, I can't want to be a walking billboard for it when the full size comes it!
Take me away on an island getaway! All I need is Island Bonon rollerball and a sarong!
Everything is so special and made thoughtfully. Worth the wait and packed with care.
It's like walking through a pacific northwest summer garden at dust. The air is alive and thick with nature's bounty. I'm here for the neroli and fresh strawberries on top.
Completely obsessed
This smells so good! It's light and airy. I really struggle to find gourmands that are not obnoxiously sweet, and this is perfect! This dries down to smell warm and delicious. I love it!
Very sweet and warm fragrance, perfect for the colder months! Definitely grab a bottle if you can, you won’t be disappointed
So delicious. Will be purchasing full size!

Unique and thougtful products and design. Shipments arrive on time and the delicate products are carefully packed.
I'm entering a new season of life: perimenopause and with it comes dry skin. I spend everyday outside next to the sea and this balm keeps me glowing, hydrated, and protected. My face, hands, and chest don't leave the house without my new armor: Frostine Veil. The uplifting scent is everything in the cold, dark woods. Thank you for making me more comfortable in this new chapter.
Always looking for the perfect balm... and here she is! Smooth and tasty! Velvety and fresh! Long-lasting! I want the tin form next.
