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 362 reviewsViolet Milk is one of the best perfumes I've ever smelled! It's sooo nostalgic and sweet. Truly smells like violet candy, cold sweet milk, and tea cups. So so lovely. I want to wear this for the rest of my life.
Everything I sampled smells soooo good! Can’t wait to try more. Thank you!

I've been exploring pistachio scents and this one is the best! What makes it unique is the cardamom! A spicy secret- everyone asks what is that??? It reminds me of my old girlfriend who puts cardamom in her coffee grounds. I have a stash of cardamon in my pantry that I will sniff for fun. But now I can be the cardamom cookie of my dreams! Well done Tara!
Sweet and special cherry fragrance I love the perfume it’s well blended and smells so great !
This scent is mature and confident yet also very soft and delicate. I'm hooked!
This is by far the best cocoa/ chocolate scent I have ever tried! It's beautiful and the scent lingers for 12+ hours!
This is a beautiful fall scent, though I suspect that I'll be wearing it in all but maybe the hottest months.
Every note shines through and the longevity is amazing!
I wasn’t able to snag this scent on its intial launch, so when I saw on Instagram (which you should follow by the way) that a restock was happening I HAD to buy it!
This scent is to DIE FOR! It’s the perfect fall scent! It makes me feel like a witch living in her cottage sipping her chai latte on her windowsill, during the peak of autumn with her 3 cats by her side!
Great costumer service, unique products, and I smell good? WIN for everyone.
DUDE what kind of magic is this? I smell like a divine being from a better smelling dimension. I have the rollerball and the spray on the way. I love the surprise of the violet and the comfort of the milk. Mmmm take me away!
Everywhere I go, "You smell AMAZING!" Soft and yummy, with the edge of tumeric and a cute kitty to boot. I am in love. I have the spray and now I want the rollerball. Make more pretty please and make her a permanent member of your evergreens.
Smells delicious just like hot cocoa, such a perfect winter scent! They also included a free sample of almond pastry and I might just have to get a full bottle!
I absolutely love this scent.
