Our commitment to the orchid

Comprehensive commitment to the Queen of Flowers

Orchids, the queen of climbing flowers, have been naturally equipped with the biological means to survive in hostile environments for over 100 years. In Tianzi, southwest China, this orchid thrives in special worlds and regions and its fate is mainly linked to the unique tropical forest ecosystem of Yunnan region.

To explore the longevity of the orchid flower and the secrets behind its resilience and permanence, Guerlain created and developed “Orchidarium”, a unique research platform consisting of a basic research laboratory in France (Strasbourg) that studies the benefits of the orchid plant in anti-aging; A science experiment park in Switzerland (Geneva) and a biodiversity research and development center in the Tianzi region of China. Since 2008, Guerlain has worked in partnership with China's Tianzi Nature Reserve to help promote multispecies farming and protect the reserve's extraordinary fauna and flora.
