ORCHIDÉE IMPÉRIALE BLACK
THE ULTIMATE TALISMAN OF YOUTH
The quintessence of the rare and exclusive luxury, Orchidée Impériale Black is the latest creation in the Orchidée Impériale Exceptional Complete Care range. After more than 15 years of research at the Orchidarium®, Guerlain experts reveal the extraordinary power of the Black Orchid¹, a true talisman against time, for preserved, regenerated and extended youthfulness.
THE POWER OF THE BLACK ORCHID¹
A RARE, POWERFUL, ENDURING ORCHID
Native to the peruvian Andes, the Black Orchid¹ is an ebony-coloured wild orchid. It has the rare distinction of flowering only once a year during two short weeks. Queen of survival, it adapts its metabolism to its environment. It is capable of increasing its production of male flowers, thus encouraging the fertilisation of female flowers and, as a result, the number of fruits. It intelligently saves its energy and optimises its longevity, embodying a real talisman against time.
A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO SKIN SELF-DEFENSE
At the heart of the Orchidée Impériale Black line, the BlackImmune™ technology encapsulates the power of Black Orchid to help protect skin from aging². This technology targets 95% of the epidermal cells involved in the skin's self-defense². Continuously protected, skin can thus devote all its resources to its regeneration. Day after day, the signs of aging are reduced and the skin looks visibly younger.
THE EXCELLENCE OF FRENCH CRAFTSMANSHIP IN THE SERVICE OF SUSTAINABLE LUXURY
Orchidée Impériale Black skincare products are nestle at the heart of porcelain jars realised in an artisan manner by the maison Bernardaud. Established since 1863 in Limoges, this prestigious family-owned manufacture has epitomised the excellence of french porcelain for over 150 years.
Refillable, these porcelain jars are in line with Guerlain's commitment to sustainability.
THE ULTIMATE YOUTH CEREMONIAL
The Cream represents the epitome of the Orchidée Impériale Black ritual to help to restore skin’s youthful potential. It is applied morning and evening, combined with The Lotion n-Fusion, The Symbioserum and The Eye and Lip Contour Cream to form an ultimate talisman of youth. These four complementary skincare products optimise Orchidée Impériale Black’s ultimate age-defying performance. Their sumptuous textures offer skin a unique comfort and sensory feel for the ultimate holistic experience.
THE CREAM
Guerlain has reinvented its Orchidée Impériale Black The Cream in an exceptional artist’s edition designed by Ora Ito. The power of the Black Orchid¹ is amplified in Augmented Blackimmuneᵀᴹ technology, which acts for the first time on three levels of skin’s self-defence to restore skin’s youthful potential. Beauty is elevated to its full potential.

THE IMU-REPROGRAMMING PROTOCOL
The exceptional 4-week intensive rejuvenating Orchidée Impériale Black Treatment is a skincare masterpiece based around four complementary formulas. Each formula offers the power of 30% potent ingredients to reprogram the skin's self-defense and youth systems week after week. A visible rebirth of the skin for enhanced beauty and redefined facial features.
THE ORCHIDARIUM®: THE FIRST RESEARCH CENTRE EVER DEDICATED TO THE ORCHID
For more than 15 years, Guerlain has been searching for the orchid's secret of longevity. This is why it created the Orchidarium®, the first research centre ever dedicated to studying the biological and cosmetic properties of an ingredient. Three centres of expertise explore the fascinating world of orchids to select powerful molecules in order to offer women cutting-edge anti-ageing skin care.
