Guerlain is introducing its latest beauty collection by partnering with Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon to present an exclusive ORCHIDÉE IMPÉRIALE themed Afternoon Tea available from Friday, October 20th until November 30th, 2023 and returning after the festive season on January 8th, 2024, at the Hotel’s Almada Negreiros lounge.
Diogo Lopes, the Hotel’s Executive Pastry Chef, was inspired by the colours and properties of the orchid, queen in the plant kingdom, to create an exceptional afternoon tea, the first of its kind in Lisbon.
Guests can indulge in luxury beauty products, and savoury to sweet delicacies served in the relaxing ambience of the Almada Negreiros lounge, surrounded by a stunning white orchid installation.
The afternoon tea menu includes smoked salmon with a gold and bergamot gel; crunchy rice, celery, shimengi and amarante; and foie gras, cereal, and ginja created by Executive Chef Pascal Meynard.
For those with a sweet tooth, there are the traditional freshly baked scones with clotted cream and homemade jam; a caramel, banana and chocolate cremeaux and blueberry tart; a honey and lemon sphere with dry flowers yuzu choux; and a lavender and hibiscus macaron. The tea brings with it an added perk in the form of Guerlain ORCHIDÉE IMPÉRIALE beauty and skincare samples.
Guerlain is the Parisian alchemist that has pursued an infinite quest for the wonder of senses and crafts artistic beauty from nature since 1828. As a House of High Perfumery and High Cosmetics, it elevated bespoke to the level of art.
