Orchidée Impériale Black

THE ULTIMATE YOUTH TALISMAN

After more than fifteen years of research, the Orchidarium® and Guerlain research unveil Le Symbiosérum Orchidée Impériale Black, a masterpiece of Guerlain skincare. At its heart is encapsulated the power of the Black Orchid¹. Native to Peru, it adapts to its environment to maximise its survival, embodying a talisman against time. It gives birth to the BlackImmune™ technology, ultra-concentrated² within the Symbiosérum, enriched with a symbiotic complex unprecedented³ at Guerlain to help the skin protect itself against skin ageing.

Le Symbiosérum nestles at the heart of a refillable case crafted by hand by the maison Bernardaud, a French porcelain manufacturer since 1863.

THE ULTRA-CONCENTRATED BLACKIMMUNE™ TECHNOLOGY¹

The BlackImmune™ technology is ultra-concentrated¹ within the Symbiosérum and enriched with a symbiotic complex unprecedented at Guerlain. Inspired by the symbiosis of orchids with their environment, this combination of a prebiotic and a probiotic derivative is able to strengthen the skin's self-defence capacities by targeting its entire ecosystem to help it protect itself against ageing². Continuously protected, the skin can thus dedicate its resources to its regeneration, for a more beautiful, younger skin preserved from the visible signs of age.

Le Symbiosérum thus achieves the feat of combining high efficacy, high sensoriality and high naturalness thanks to its formula composed of 96% ingredients of natural origin³. Enriched with a touch of precious 24-carat gold, it fuses in symbiosis with the skin to infuse it with youth and radiance.

¹Within the Orchidée Impériale Black range. ²In vitro test on ingredients. ³In accordance with ISO standard 16128, calculation including water.

A RARE, POWERFUL, IMMUTABLE ORCHID

Native to the Peruvian Andes, the Black Orchid¹ is a wild orchid of ebony hue. It has the rare particularity of blooming for only two weeks a year and, even more remarkably, of bearing both male and female flowers on the same plants. A precious quality that allows it, through a fine understanding of its environment, to adapt its metabolism by achieving a permanent symbiosis with its ecosystem. Faced with dangers – such as an excess of sunlight or a lack of light – it responds with a more abundant production of male flowers, favouring the fertilisation of the female flowers and, consequently, the number of fruits. It intelligently conserves its energy and optimises its longevity, thus embodying a true talisman against time.
