BEAUTY ELEVATED TOWARDS ITS FULL POTENTIAL

Culmination of 20 years’ research, the Orchidée Impériale Black skincare line has reinvented its Cream, as well as its refill, ultimate High-Cosmetics jewels. Set at its heart, the power of the Black Orchid¹ is now potentiated in the Augmented Blackimmuneᵀᴹ technology, which for the first time targets three levels of skin’s self-defence to help to restore skin’s youthful potential².
Inspired by traditional craftsmanship, The Cream is now manufactured via an exclusive semi-manual³ process under meticulous human supervision. It reveals an irresistible fineness and fusion with skin, acting like a shield against the visible effects of time.
Day after day, wrinkles fade away, skin texture is refined and the facial contours redefined. After using a single jar of The Cream, skin appears visibly eight years younger⁴.
Formulated with 95% naturally derived ingredients⁵, The Cream nestles in a refillable porcelain jar, reinvented in an art edition designed by Ora Ito and hand-crafted by Maison Bernardaud.

A RARE, POWERFUL, UNCHANGING ORCHID

In its quest for unchanging beauty, Guerlain Research has potentiated the vital force of a legendary orchid, the Black Orchid¹, in the first research centre ever dedicated to a cosmetic ingredient, the Orchidarium®.

Rare, powerful and resilient, this ebony-coloured orchid native to the Peruvian Andes belongs to the extremely rare cycnoches genus, which accounts for just 0.1% of orchids worldwide.

It has the rare distinction of flowering for only two weeks a year and bearing male and female flowers on the same plants, which allows it to maximise its fertility and survival. In constant symbiosis with its environment, it intelligently conserves its energy and optimises its longevity, embodying a real talisman against time.
Harvested by hand in Peru exclusively for Guerlain, it reveals its invaluable powers of longevity in the Orchidée Impériale Black exceptional skincare line.

THE SKIN TRIPLE YOUTH SHIELD

The new Augmented Blackimmuneᵀᴹ technology potentiates the powers of the Black Orchid¹ and targets three levels of self-defence²:
- On skin’s surface, it targets its microbiota, the first line of defence against aggressors.
- In the epidermis, it targets 95% of the cells involved in skin’s self-defence.
- At the heart of skin, it helps to stimulate the guardians of youth.
Continuously triply protected, with repeated application, skin can thus devote itself to its regeneration and restore its youthful potential. Stronger and more resistant, skin appears younger and more beautiful, as if untouched by the visible effects of time.

The Cream reveals a new enchantingly feminine fragrance signature, created by Delphine Jelk, Guerlain’s nose. For the first time³, a scented concentrate features a molecule acting on olfactory receptors² to help to strengthen the skin barrier.

HUMAN TOUCH AT THE HEART OF GUERLAIN'S ART OF FORMULATION

A Masterpiece of High-Cosmetics Jewel, Orchidée Impériale Black The Cream boasts an exceptional fineness, fusing ideally with skin to instantly leave it more velvety and visibly younger.

Inspired by traditional craftsmanship, Orchidée Impériale Black The Cream is now exclusively produced semi-manually¹, in small batches. Guerlain spent more than 18 months to rethink entirely its formulation process, which requires two days’ production under meticulous human supervision.

To obtain this unique sensory feel fashioned by human hand¹, a maturation phase lasting up to 24 hours allows the formula’s constituents to slowly come together, enabling the cream to reveal its final structure.

¹Mechanical support to guarantee the stability of the emulsion.

THE PRECIOUS IMU-ROLLER REINVENTED, GUERLAIN SPA FACIALIST EXPERTISE AT ITS HEIGHTS

Developed by Guerlain facialists, the application technique has been tailor-made to amplify The Cream’s effects.

Apply in the morning and evening to the face and neck after The Lotion n-Fusion, The Symbioserum and The Eye and Lip Contour Cream.
Step 1: roll the tool horizontally from one side of the face to the other.
Step 2: continue from the middle of the face towards the ears and from the eyebrows to the hairline.
Step 3: make back-and-forth movements over the most marked areas.
Step 4: tap with the tool, beginning with the eye contour, draw a horizontal figure-of-eight to move from one eye to the other, then move to the contours of the lips and face.

A REFILLABLE PIECE OF ART

Embodying the House of Guerlain's committed vision, the Cream features an innovatively designed refill, with all its bio-sourced parts incorporating leftover Bernardaud porcelain. The carbon footprint is minimised by 43%¹.

For this art edition designed to last, French designer Ora Ito reveals his interpretation of longevity in a pot with timeless, near-perfect symmetry. Symbolising the fluidity of time, he etches an infinite number of striations into the porcelain, transcending the light reflected in it, elevating Orchidée Impériale Black to the rank of art.

Its avant-garde design, sublimated in 24-carat gold, has prompted Bernardaud to reinvent porcelain to make it deeper and more intense. Founded in Limoges in 1863, this prestigious manufacturer has been the embodiment of French porcelain excellence for over 150 years.
