LADURÉE Gift Box



I have an attraction to fineness of LADURÉE's package design. Especially I like beautiful gift boxes.
Recently I purchased macaroons in a "Pop Art Religieuse" box. Religieuse is a traditional French pastry and a symbol of LADURÉE, and the box has been designed on "Pop Art." When I saw this box, I instantly fell for this design. The shop has four different box colors of blue, purple, yellow and green. I wanted to buy all colors of boxes, but I couldn't afford to buy all colors. Eventually I chose yellow box. Soooo cute!!!



Additionally I wanted to try this wonderful-looking cake "Ispahan," and I got this cake on my friend's birthday. Ispahan is the combination of rose macaroon, rose petal cream, framboise and lychee. It was amazing!
At this time of year, Christmas limited edition gift boxes are available for sale at the shop. I want one really badly!

Iku-san,
You really have nice pictures, that "Ispahan" looks really yummy... was it as good as it looks?
Look forward to read more from your nice blog.

Hi Rashai,
Thank you. I'm flattered. "Ispahan" was really really good, but little too sweet. I liked rose flavor.

No, please link to my blog. I will add a link to your blog on my page, too!
Thank you.

Yeah! Those macarons and Ispahan
look realy delicious!!

I did not have enough time to try
Laduree during my previous trip to
Tokyo in November.

I only managed to try Pierre Hermes'
Ispahan and macarons. Really good I must say. :D

Merry Christmas, Iku-san!
ちょっと早いけど、あけましておめでとう!

Thanks for your comment (^-^)/
I read your blog's latest entries. (but... sorry, I didn't know how can I post my comment on your blog.) Sounds like you had a great time in Japan. Your pictures are great!!!

I love Pierre Herme's macaroon, too. Actually, I've never eaten Pierre Herme's Ispahan. I want to eat it. They must be good, if you thought they were really good!

Thanks for your Xmas message, sorry my late reply.
もう少しで "あけましておめでとう!"

Hi bluela,
Thanks :)
I haven't been to PH shop in a little while, so I want to eat Ispahan or macaroons, too! I think I'm going to get some pastries at PH or Laduree soon! :D
