Ladurée and Nour Arida’s Sorbé Bring Beauty and Pâtisserie Together

Ladurée is bringing a beauty-inspired twist to its signature French savoir-faire this October with an exclusive collaboration with Sorbé, the skincare brand founded by Lebanese American model and entrepreneur Nour Arida.

Launching across the UAE from 1 October 2026, the collaboration brings together two creative worlds: beauty and French pâtisserie. Inspired by the signature flavours of Sorbé’s lip butters,rose, lychee, caramel and pomegranate,the collection transforms familiar beauty ingredients into a selection of exquisite edible creations.

Behind the scenes, World Pastry Champion and Ladurée Executive Chef Julien Alvarez worked closely with Nour Arida to craft the collection, translating her beauty brand’s signature flavour inspirations into refined French pâtisserie. Combining Alvarez’s world-class pastry expertise with Arida’s creative vision, the collaboration explores how the ingredients associated with beauty can be reimagined into an indulgent sensory experience.

At the heart of the collection is a trio of individual pâtisseries inspired by caramel, pomegranate and rose lychee. Each creation contains fewer than 100 calories and is priced at AED 39. The offering is complemented by an exclusive Rose Lychee Macaron, created especially for the collaboration, alongside a Rose & Lychee Sorbet priced at AED 45 and a collagen-infused slushie made with fresh fruit and without added sugar, priced at AED 49.

The collaboration also extends to exclusive macaron boxes available in 8 pieces (AED 253), 12 pieces (AED 321), 18 pieces (AED 419) and 24 pieces (AED 526). Each box features the limited-edition Rose Lychee Macaron alongside a selection of Nour Arida’s favourite Ladurée flavours, including Salted Caramel, Pistachio, Chocolate and Raspberry, among others.

More than a pastry collection, the collaboration reflects a shared appreciation for craftsmanship, creativity and sensory storytelling. Through the partnership between Nour Arida and Julien Alvarez, Sorbé’s beauty-inspired flavour palette takes on a new expression, inviting guests to discover the unexpected connection between skincare-inspired ingredients and the art of French pâtisserie.
