Ispahan Macaron is the signature creation of Pierre Hermé and one of the most influential macarons in contemporary pastry. Created by Pierre Hermé, it combines three distinctive flavors - rose, lychee, and raspberry - in a pairing that has become synonymous with the brand.
The macaron features delicate pink almond shells filled with rose-flavored cream, pieces of lychee, and fresh raspberries, creating a balance of floral, fruity, and slightly tart notes. Its flavor profile is both elegant and complex, with the fragrance of rose complemented by the sweetness of lychee and the freshness of raspberry.
Over the years, Ispahan has become far more than a single pastry, inspiring an entire collection of desserts including cakes, croissants, chocolates, and ice creams. Widely regarded as one of Pierre Hermé’s most celebrated creations, it helped redefine the possibilities of the macaron and contributed to the global reputation of the brand.
