THE ULTIMATE YOUTH TALISMAN IN ART EDITION BY LI HONGBO
At its heart is encapsulated the power of the Black Orchid¹. Originally from Peru, the Black Orchid adapts to its environment to maximize its survival, embodying a talisman against time. It has given rise to the BlackImmune™ technology which targets 95% of epidermal cells involved in the skin’s self-defense².
Each application, the skin becomes stronger and more resistant to external aggressions. Continuously protected, skin can thus devote all its resources to its regeneration to fight against the visible signs of aging. The Cream helps minimize wrinkles, refine the skin texture and lend definition to facial contours, leaving the skin feeling firmer and suppler as well as looking radiant. Inspired by Guerlain's spa expertise, a massage tool has been specifically developed to be used in synergy with Orchidée Impériale Black The Cream.

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 two weeks a year, and – even more remarkably – bearing male and female flowers on the same plants. An invaluable quality that allows it – through an in-depth understanding of its environment – to adapt its metabolism by establishing an ongoing symbiosis with its ecosystem. In the face of dangers, excess sun or a lack of light, for example, it responds by producing more male flowers, thus encouraging the fertilisation of female flowers and, as a result, more fruit. It intelligently conserves its energy and optimises its longevity, embodying a real talisman against time.
