rose, caramel, vanilla and a host of others will have you falling in

The macaron is traditionally held to have been
introduced in France by the Italian chef of queen Catherine de Medici
during the Renaissance. Since the 19th century, a typical Parisian-style
macaron is presented with a ganache, buttercream or jam filling
sandwiched between two such cookies, akin to a sandwich cookie. The
confection is characterized by a smooth squared top, a ruffled
circumference—referred to as the "crown" or "foot" (or "pied")—and a
flat base. It is mildly moist and easily melts in the mouth. Macarons
can be found in a wide variety of flavours that range from traditional
(raspberry, chocolate) to unusual (foie gras, matcha).
