Golden Crumb | Carrot Cake Gourmand Perfume

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.

from 124 reviewsAmazing on your lips! Great design!
I adore it!!! I am a fan and a collector. Please keep making these!
Such a lovely scent. I used the oil sample I received in my discovery package. It calms down on my skin to that strawberry forest note. The sweet citrous whispers over time. I have a large strawberry patch, so this is pretty accurate to that smell, as well as a strawberry shortcake scented toy I had growing up lol
Another one of my everyday scents. I love all the ingredients; some can be made out to me more than others. Specifically, I’m not really able to smell the grapefruit, even on initial spray, which is my only gripe. It’s hard to distinguish over the intense notes, but it comes out so pleasantly over time. The cloves note reminds me of gingerbread. LOVE this, I’m definitely going to get a bigger bottle.
I've been wearing this for about a half a year. Personally, for me, something I can wear every day. Upon initial smell, I can pick up every note and they blend together beautifully. Over time those base notes work well for my skin. I love this dearly, very nostalgic to when my teachers would burn gourmand candles.
The initial spray for me is very strong but cools down soon after. This is a very complex perfume, though I have no major complaints. The perfume wear is a journey through each ingredient. Great for a wispy, elegant or independent vibe. Makes me feel like I need to powder my nose! I wear this to formal events, and it makes a statement.
The lilac is very present, cool down just fine. I love the juniper note and the resin forest vibes. Not an everyday wear for me, since lilac is not my favorite floral. If the lilac note was something different I think I would have liked this more. The vibes remind me of fairies trying to trick me into the forest line from a meadow.
This perfume reminds me slightly of Secret Flower Moon in the sense of vibes. Elegant, sweet, soft, and welcoming. I wore this on my clothes and it lasted for hours, it would waft up and drastically improve my mood. It’s like I landed in flowers and took in the sun.
Definitely distinctive, cool down just gets better and better. I bought this to try and get the aged oak moss, which does come out. For me, this is similar to the vibe of autumn leaves, but it might be missing something. I really enjoy this scent for special occasions where I want to feel a lovely forest flair.
This scent is absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend it enough whenever I wear it I get SO MANY compliments. My coworkers were like girl you smell amazing first time I wore it, so it’s now what I wear 90% of the time to work (and obviously other places too) I swear this is my go to new scent. You have to get it!
Yummmm!!!! The scent is spot on and makes me want to eat it! Really nourishing lip balm that I’m very happy with.
I love this scent! It is beautifully exotic and soothing.
Minty perfection for winter. So nourishing. Doesn't leave my lips feeling dry later in the day like some lip balms.
I sampled the perfume spray. The scent starts out as a lovely, delicate sugared lavender with a hint of tartness from the lemon. Towards the middle of its evolution, I think the milk and lemon mixed weird on my skin and had an offputting sour sweetness, but thankfully that faded into a milky lavender sugar cookie scent! This is everything I hoped for and it's a beautiful lavender gourmand fragrance!
