Eugénie, the new icon
Eugénie, the new icon.
Â
Since the very beginning, Ladurée has always been striving to inspire pastry-making thanks to daring combinations between fashion and gourmet food, baroque and modernity, rose and lychee fragrances. The Maison has always meant to shake up tradition, to arouse astonishment and to take its public to hitherto unexplored gustatory and aesthetic lairs.
Among its sources of inspiration, women always take the center stage: creative, assertive, avant-garde and most of all, audacious women.
Once again this year, Ladurée pays tribute to a historic female personality who did not hesitate to challenge the preconceived ideas and cultural canons of her time.
Combining classicism and sense of surprise, Ladurée keeps honoring the rebellious and definitely Parisian spirit that has been its hallmark since the earliest days.
Today, a new chapter is opening in the history of Maison Ladurée.Introducing a new delicacy.
Meet Eugénie.
A figure both iconic and iconoclastic.
Who better than the Empress Eugenie, patron of the arts and a major figure of her time, could give her name to the new Ladurée creation?
Contemporary of Louis-Ernest Ladurée, founder of the Maison in 1862, Eugénie is a real trendsetter before her time. Even more: she is a muse whose intuitions and taste have made Paris a world-renowned cultural and hedonistic central point. She inspired the creation of monuments such as the Opera Garnier and more generally participated in the definition of the Napoleon III style.
Today, Maison Ladurée pays a well-deserved tribute to her.
A sweet mix between imperial stance and pop spirit.
The very shape of Eugénie echoes the Maison Ladurée’s historical icon: the macaroon. Likewise, it displays cheerful, irresistibly eye-catching, soft pastel colours.
The now famous L letter, stamped on the outer shell, arouses curiosity.
If Eugénie takes on the classical visual codes of Ladurée, it also offers a complete reinterpretation of them.
And beneath appearances, a surprise awaits…
As a matter of fact: behind Eugénie’s soft colours lie astonishing sensations: authentic flavours made of exceptional raw materials, with natural colorings and just the right amount of sugar.
But as usual, the real surprise is hidden where it is least expected: Eugénie is above all an astonishing marriage of textures, mixing a crunchy, gluten-free biscuit, a melting heart and a crunchy chocolate coating. With each bite, the textures blend and melt into a delicate harmony, taking audacity a step further in a pure gourmet’s style.
Faithful to the Empress' heritage, the range has been created for the pleasure of all those who, whether connoisseurs or amateurs, know that pleasure is as much for the eyes as for the palate
It is the sheer spirit of Maison Ladurée that is expressed here, summarized in a few grams of pure pleasure.
