GUERLAIN Orchidée Impériale Eye & Lip Contour Cream 15ml

New Guerlain Orchidée Impériale Eye & Lip Contour Cream: the power of the orchid's longevity for a youthful eye area.
Both during the day and at night, the skin has specific needs. In the daytime, the skin protects itself against aggressions while at night it regenerates. The new Eye Contour & Lip Cream contains Chrono-Response™ Complex to adapt to the skin's natural rhythms. During the day, it hydrates, smooths and enhances the eye area. At night the cream detoxifies, soothes and targets milk spots: small white spots around the eyes.

 

Fragrance

Orchidée Impériale fragrance: a floral scent with hints of orchid that blend with notes of rose, white musk and precious cedar wood.

 

 

Expert formulas

The new Cell Respiration™ technology regulates cellular respiration and combats hypoxia or oxygen deficiency thanks to the discovery of the prodigious powers of a duo of orchids. The cells can breathe again which boosts cell regeneration*. A breath of fresh air for younger looking skin.
Formulated to address the skin's specific daytime and night-time needs, new Orchidée Impériale Eye & Lip Contour Cream contains a totally new complex - Chrono-Response™ - which continuously targets the visible signs of ageing.

This exclusive new complex for both daytime and nighttime use is enriched with ingredients recognised for their power: Extracts of jasmine and hyaluronic acid boost hydration while centella lends its lifting effect to the skin; Liquorice extract* helps to minimise pigmentary imperfections; Lastly, like an energy boost, caffeine extract helps to detoxify the eye area and minimise the appearance of milk spots.

Ingredients

15 YEARS OF RESEARCH ON SKIN LONGEVITY
The Orchid, a rare and precious raw ingredient, is the very essence of the exceptional  complete care range Orchidée Impériale. A genuine longevity prodigy, the orchid is the most developed species in the plant kingdom. Convinced of its exceptional potential, Guerlain set up its first research centre ever to be devoted to an ingredient: the Orchidarium®. Guerlain Research runs three interrelated and complementary centres:

- The Experimental Garden — Geneva (Switzerland)
- The Basic Research Laboratory — Strasbourg (France)
- The Exploratory Nature Reserve — TianZi (Yunnan, China)

 
 
 
 

Directions for use

IN THE MORNING
Using fingertips, pat gently and very delicately sweep outwards across the eye area and back again towards the centre. This micro-drainage targets under-eye puffiness and brings a sense of well-being.

IN THE EVENING
Apply the Cream in a thick layer like a mask. Leave on all night to allow the skin to draw the resources it needs to regenerate.

Guerlain is a legendary French perfume house with 175 years of outstanding business, passion and tradition. Guerlain has always used luxurious and rare materials for its perfumes, such as French vanilla or ylang-ylang from their own plantations in Comoro Islands. Beside that, Guerlain has been an innovator in use of synthetic materials: Jicky (1889) was the first perfume to which Aimé Guerlain added a synthetic component—coumarin.

The Guerlain house was founded by Pierre-François Pascal Guerlain in 1828. Starting with common hygiene products, Guerlain was also creating perfumes for his customers, and over time he developed the business into a highly successful company that became an official perfumer for several European royal courts.

After he died, his son Aimé Guerlain became the main perfumer. His famous perfume Jicky, created in 1889, became the first "modern" perfume. It is also believed that it was he who created the so-called "Guerlinade"—the Guerlain signature base notes used for creation of multiple Guerlain perfumes.

His nephew Jacques Guerlain was the next nose of the Guerlain house. He created some of the most well-known perfumes of the house, including L'Heure Bleue (1912), Mitsouko (1919) and Shalimar (1925), which is one of the best loved perfumes of all time.

Jean-Paul Guerlain is the grandson of Jacques Guerlain. He first assisted, and then created his first "solo" offering, the now-famous Vetiver (1959). His other well-known creations include Habit Rouge, Chamade, Eau de Guerlain and Nahema.

The Guerlain perfume house was a family business until 1994, when it was acquired by Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH). In 2002, the family legacy of Guerlain ended with Jean-Paul Guerlain's retirement, though he continues to work for the house as a consultant. Thierry Wasser was named the official in-house perfumer of Guerlain in 2008.

The flagship Guerlain boutique in Paris was thoroughly renovated and reopened in June 2005. The house at the magic address 68 Champs Elysées, now not only a boutique and the main office but a museum as well, welcomes customers again.
