the anatomy of
the Madeleine.

For Chef Dominique, hands are everything. They pipe, fold, glaze, knead, and shape ingredients into art. In his bakeries, citrus-infused madeleines are baked fresh to order because their magic lives in a fleeting moment β€” the instant they’re broken open and a final breath of warm steam escapes.

The natural scent is inspired by James Beard Award–winning French pastry chef Dominique Ansel’s citrus-infused madeleines just pulled from the oven. Notes of golden butter, soft citrus zest, and the gentle sweetness of fresh-baked pastry evoke the quiet comfort of a bakery at first light, lingering softly like the memory of a perfect bite.Β

    Absolute Favorite

    I appreciate and trust all Iota products, but this Madeleine's hand cream is hands down my favorite of all time. The scent is fabulous and I find myself inhaling my hands after putting it on. It is a really relaxing yummy scent. I wish this weren't a limited scent!

    Lovely Hand Cream

    I purchased two tubes of this hand cream. It does leave one’s hands soft and lovely. The fragrance is an absolute dream particularly if you love Madelines as I do. My only negative is the price which is on the higher end for a hand cream but I look for offers to bring the price down somewhat. Overall, a goegeous product that I am loving.
