Pierre Herme and his Spring offering

  Aprils offering

 Mays offering

The great thing about Pierre Herme is that he keeps his customers happy. He brings in new flavours all the time and at the moment he has a couple of blinders. So all you macaroon lovers get yourself to either Selfridges or Motcombe Street..

FOR APRIL - MACARON JARDIN SECRET (“SECRET GARDEN”) (Rose, Vanilla & Clove)

Another macaron created in companionship with Jean-Michel Duriez, master perfumer at Rochas. Inspired by a floral "carnation" note borrowed from the repertory of perfume- making, it is a sweet blend of rose, vanilla and cloves. The palate first encounters the taste of rose, which prepares it for the heady intoxication of vanilla and cloves. A trio of tastes merging into a single secret flavour.

FOR MAY - MACARON JARDIN PARFUMÉ  (Rose & Jasmine)

A conversation with master perfumer Jean-Michel Duriez (Maison Rochas) about a fragrance featuring notes of rose and jasmine, Joy by Patou, prompted Pierre Hermé to use these same flavours in a macaron. More than a blend, a succession of aromas. Quite distinct, the tastes of the rose cream and the jasmine cream centre eventually converge in a gradual process of discovery. Neither the taste of rose exactly, nor that of jasmine, the flavour comes across as self-evident.
