In time for the festive season, it will start with a popup booth at Ion Orchard’s Level 1 Atrium, running from Nov 18 to Jan 11.

The famed macarons will be sold at $4 a piece, and from $23.80 for a box of six.

Flavours include classics such as vanilla, chocolate, pistachio and rose, along with newer options such as matcha and Dubai chocolate.

A recently introduced creation is the Eugenie - named after 19th-century French Empress Eugenie - a layered combination of textures featuring a crisp, gluten-free biscuit with an oozy centre encased in a thin chocolate coating.

Created in 2023 by Laduree’s head pastry chef Julien Alvarez, the delicate treats are priced at $3.90 a piece, and from $22.80 for a box of six.
