Peach's Revenge

Sarah Baker Pastel Rumours
Dreamy, milky, a little defiant
Pastel Rumours is an Eau de Parfum from Sarah Baker, created in 2024 with perfumer Chris Maurice. The brand calls it a dreamy, milky peach: gentle fruit wrapped in milk and spiked with ginger, cardamom and a touch of caramel. Crushed custard creams and fruit loops add a childlike sweetness, with something more defiant underneath, as the brand tells it.

How it unfolds
-
A glass of peach milk
Peach comes first, soft and rounded, with fruit loops adding a bright, sugary sweetness and ginger drawing a thin line of warmth. The opening is playful and light rather than juicy-sharp, the way a pastel colour is gentle rather than loud.
-
Milk, cardamom, caramel
In the heart, milk softens everything into a creamy blur. Cardamom adds a cool, slightly green spice that keeps the sweetness from clogging, and caramel gives a gentle, toffee-like roundness. Nothing here is sharp; the effect is soft focus.
-
Custard creams and vanilla
The base is built from custard creams, vanilla and musks, so the scent ends as a vanilla biscuit that stays close to the skin. As an Eau de Parfum it remains softly present rather than heavy, and it settles quietly into the skin.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Easy to wear
A soft gourmand that works in daytime and mild weather, in spring, early summer and autumn. Two or three sprays on neck and wrists give a gentle cloud of sweetness. It suits casual days, a night out with friends, or any moment when you want comfort without heaviness.
Who it is for
People who like sweet, comforting scents with a sense of humour: fans of vanilla, milk and biscuit notes, and anyone after a fruity gourmand that feels soft rather than syrupy. It is less suited to those who want dry woods, smoke or fresh citrus.
Why choose Sarah Baker Pastel Rumours
Pastel Rumours treats sweetness playfully instead of sugar-coating it. Each Sarah Baker perfume is a character in the brand's fantasy world, with its own mini screenplay, and this one is dreamy but not naive. Chris Maurice composed it as an Eau de Parfum, a lighter strength for everyday wear.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is Pastel Rumours an Eau de Parfum or an extrait?
It is an Eau de Parfum, a strength that is lighter and airier than an extrait. That suits its soft, milky character and makes it comfortable for everyday wear.
How would you describe it in one line?
A dreamy, milky peach with ginger and cardamom, set on custard creams, vanilla and musks, with a childlike sweetness and a defiant streak.
What are custard creams and fruit loops doing in the notes?
They are listed as notes in their own right: fruit loops in the opening, custard creams in the base. With milk and vanilla they give the scent its childlike, comforting sweetness, as the brand tells it.
What size is the bottle?
It holds 50 ml of Eau de Parfum and comes in the brand's illustrated box with its art-nouveau drawing.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
