The scent of craftsmanship, elegance, and intrigue.
 
Mysteriously enticing and elite fragrances from the Krigler dynasty, a historically iconic perfume house born of founder Albert Krigler’s desire to create unique luxury fragrances handcrafted from the finest ingredients around the world. A Berlin-born chemist, Albert Krigler initially worked for Rallet as an apprentice in its Moscow factory.

In 1879, Albert Krigler created his first fragrance as an engagement gift for his French-born fiancée. He called this scent, Pleasure Gardenia 79. He opened his first perfume store in 1904 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Pleasure Gardenia 79 was the first fragrance he introduced offered for sale.

Albert Krigler moved his family to Berlin in 1905 and opened a store there on Unter den Linden. During that same year, he created his third fragrance, Schoene Linden 05, to celebrate the beautiful and unique avenue of Berlin.

A few years later, in 1909, Krigler moved to the South of France and spent some time in the Champagne region. Krigler perfumes gained popularity and were sold in Prussia and Eastern Europe as well as on the French Riviera.

Krigler Perfumes rose to its initial fame in the early 1920s as a favorite among celebrities and royals of the era. Tastemakers and trendsetters flocked to Mr. Krigler’s scents, each of which was inspired by high-profile locales such as Monte Carlo, the Italian Riviera, and the Mediterranean. 

The fourth generation of Krigler perfumers focused on the company’s custom-made services, including fragrances and scented candles. 

Drawing upon five generations of luxury fragrances, Krigler reopened its doors in 2007 at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, the epicenter of elegance since its inaugural debut in 1931. Offering classic fragrances along with updated versions delivering exciting twists to popular favorites, Krigler continues its time-honored tradition of bringing the world of fragrance exceptional craftsmanship.
