THE ORCHIDARIUM®

THE SCIENCE OF ORCHIDS


THE ORCHID, A WONDER OF LONGEVITY

Queen in the plant kingdom with its 30,000 species, the orchid is a fascinating flower playing with time. It possesses prodigous cellular longevity mechanisms, enabling it to bloom for years. Its beauty remains intact, as on the first day. Some even live to be a hundred years old. The orchid is an inexhaustible reservoir of discoveries for science.

THE ORCHIDARIUM®: THE FIRST RESEARCH AND PRESERVATION 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.

THREE CENTRES OF EXPERTISE

Coordinated by Doctor Frédéric Bonte, the Orchidarium® is made up of three centres with experts who explore, study and protect orchids.
