Leilalove Macarons - Mademoiselle de Paris Collections of 15 gourmet macarons Gift box varies in color - cookies are individually packaged for the perfect freshness

I had ordered macarons from somewhere else for the holidays but they were a disappointment and were much more expensive than these. I wanted real macarons. I am glad I found these. They are absolutely delicious!. Very flavorful and rich. As I was writing this I had to pause and get me a macaron. They are addictive. Wish they weren't so expensive but it's a very special treat, and it's best to keep it this way and not eat too many, and the enjoyment is much greater. Love them very much and they are very well worth it. Being luxurious once in a while is wonderful. They are also packaged nicely and make a beautiful gift. I keep mine in the fridge but of course they won't last very long.

On a whim I decided to order these. I've seen a lot of pictures of people in high end restaurants in Paris with a plate of macarons in front of them and they looked so decadent. They arrived quickly and found them to be in individual ziplock bags. Not in a cheesy way. A professional, easy to open way. I make comment about this because it is a nice change from the automated heat-sealed cellophane wrappers you see on everything else. Inside is a little card with color pictures showing what each flavor looks like if you wanted to dive for your favorite. I went for a random choice and picked caramel. It tasted just like one of the caramels I get from a local shop. Very delicious. The cookies(?) were soft and moist; the filling very creamy and sweet. I then went for the hot pink one - one of the berry variants. Again very soft and chewy and delicious! At roughly $2.50 each, they're not cheap. I can't say how big their operation is - whether it's a mom & pop type shop, or a branch of some nameless MegaCorp, but they are good. There is no ingredient list, so I don't know how bad they are for me, but I don't care! It does say that they will last approximately a week if not refrigerated and up to 6 weeks if kept in the fridge...as if they'll last that long! They were not shipped in any special packaging for perishable food items. But, shipping to Montana in the middle of winter, you don't need anything special...as long as you don't care about it freezing! How they ship them in the middle of the summer, I don't know. It would probably be worth communicating with them to discuss this topic when summer approaches.

My best friend loves macarons and she loved this gift! First - great box and presentation. Second - Each macaron.is individually wrapped Third - TASTE! She commented on the freshness and how good they tasted. Because they are individually wrapped, the flavors aren't muddled. Fourth - Variety. She enjoyed that she got to try new flavors.

good. too too sweet for my taste.

delicious and fresh!

Excellent product! I am pleased with the size and taste of these macarons! These are delicious! They are individually wrapped and fresh!

The wife loves them. Came packaged individually and in a nice gift box which arrived two days earlier than expected. She tasted one so far and said it was delicious.

First of all, these come packaged in a priority box with padding wrapped around the cookie box. The cookies themselves are packaged in individual, ziploc-type bags, the there is bubble wrap between the cookies and the top of the box to further protect them. My cookie box was a pale pink, sturdy cardboard. It was very pretty. I even had a card to tell me what colors were what flavor. Mostly, there's one that isn't on the card. The cookies themselves: Presentation was fantastic. The plastic spoils it just a little bit, but it's important for the freshness, obviously. The colors are vibrant and, to be honest, gorgeous. The cookie itself is an absolutely perfect example of a macaron. The flavors, from what I've tasted, are subtle and not artificial. The only reason I gave it four stars for flavor instead of five is that they are very, very, VERY sweet. I have never had an actual french macaron, so it may well be that they're supposed to be. It's just a little much for me, personally, and I wanted to include it in the review for people who may have the same issue.
