ORCHIDÉE IMPÉRIALE GOLD NOBILE

AMPLIFY 10 SIGNS OF YOUTH, REVIVE 6 FACTORS OF LIGHT⁵

After 20 years' research, Guerlain has created Orchidée Impériale Gold Nobile, revealing a new cosmetic rejuvenation pathway for skin, born of its research into quantum biology applied to the skin. 

THE GOLD NOBILE ORCHID, A MASTER OF LIGHT

Thanks to 20 years' research in the Orchidarium®, Guerlain experts have identified, from among 30,000 species, an orchid with exceptional powers: the Gold Nobile orchid. Endemic to the Himalayan region, it has inherited the ability to combine several photosynthesis mechanisms to turn the sun's light into real vital energy. The light diffused by its petals is 68% more intense than those of an ordinary white orchid¹.

Guerlain has captured this phenomenal vital energy intact thanks to a cutting-edge biotechnological method², concentrating 27 of this exceptional orchid's molecules³ at the heart of the Orchidée Impériale Gold Nobile skincare line.

¹Instrumental test on a petal of Dendrobium nobile versus Phalaenopsis amabilis. ²Made in Europe. ³Identification by phytochemical analysis.

THE TECHNOLOGY 

In partnership with a team of biophysicists from Palacký University, Guerlain Research has revealed that skin cells emit biophotons, whose emission varies with age.

This phenomenon is an indicator of skin's youth.

The new technology at the heart of Orchidée Impériale Gold Nobile skincare is able to help to restore light emission from skin to a youthful level⁴.

THE PRODIGIOUS AURA OF YOUTH RITUAL

The combination of the Serum and the Cream is the perfect extraordinary ritual. These two complementary skincare products optimise the most advanced age-defying and brightening performance. Their luxurious textures delicately fuse with skin, enfolding it in a luminous golden aura.

THE SCIENCE OF ORCHIDS

THE ORCHIDARIUM®: THE FIRST RESEARCH CENTRE EVER DEDICATED TO THE ORCHID 

For more than 18 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 cutting-edge anti-aging skin care.

GUERLAIN'S COMMITMENT TO PROTECTING ORCHIDS

For more than 13 years, Guerlain has been involved in one of orchids’ oldest birthplaces in the world, the Yunnan forest in China, and is taking part in a rainforestation and orchid preservation programme. More than 20,000 orchids have already been reintroduced since 2011.
