Discover the alluring and prestigious fragrances from the renowned Krigler dynasty, a historic and iconic perfume house founded by Albert Krigler with a passion for crafting exceptional luxury scents using the finest ingredients sourced from around the globe. Born in Berlin, Albert Krigler began his journey as a chemist apprentice at Rallet, a French company based in Moscow. In 1879, he created his very first fragrance, Pleasure Gardenia 79, as an engagement gift for his beloved French fiancée. When Albert Krigler opened his inaugural perfume store in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1904, Pleasure Gardenia 79 took center stage as the first fragrance available for purchase. Shortly thereafter, he introduced Hermitage Heritage 04, a scent specifically designed for men. In 1909, Krigler relocated to the enchanting South of France, where he spent time immersed in the Champagne region. The popularity of Krigler perfumes soared, garnering a loyal following throughout Prussia, Eastern Europe, and the renowned French Riviera. As the year 1914 ushered in significant changes due to the outbreak of war, Krigler made the decision to establish its base in France, becoming a well-established French perfume house. In the early 1920s, Krigler Perfumes experienced a meteoric rise to prominence, captivating celebrities and royals of the era who were drawn to Mr. Krigler’s scents inspired by glamorous destinations such as Monte Carlo, the Italian Riviera, and the Mediterranean. In 1931, Krigler expanded its horizons and began offering its fragrances in New York City’s iconic Plaza Hotel, marking the introduction of their much-loved creation, America One 31. The tumultuous 1940s and World War II led Krigler to evolve into a French-American company as a result of losing numerous European clientele. Although the 1950s witnessed a brief European resurgence, it was a bittersweet time as Albert Krigler sadly passed away in 1954. The fourth generation of Krigler perfumers refocused their efforts on the company’s bespoke services, offering personalized fragrances and scented candles. Each Krigler fragrance is expertly blended to harmoniously enhance rather than overpower the wearer. Crafted with meticulous care, these opulent scents are meticulously handmade using the most exquisite natural ingredients. Albert Krigler once remarked, “If we say to a person, ‘What a nice perfume,’ that means that the perfume is wrong, but if we say ‘You smell good,’ that means that the perfume is perfect for that person.” Building upon five generations of perfumery excellence, Krigler proudly reopened its doors in 2007 at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, an iconic location synonymous with elegance since its inception in 1931. Alongside their timeless classics, Krigler continues to delight fragrance aficionados with contemporary adaptations that add exciting twists to beloved favorites. With an unwavering commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, Krigler invites you to embark on a sensory journey through the world of fragrance. Presently driving the brand forward with unwavering passion is Ben Krigler, the fifth-generation owner. Passionate about upholding the brand’s illustrious heritage, he ensures Krigler remains at the forefront of the fragrance industry. As a testament to their rich catalog, Krigler has an impressive line-up of 38 perfumes in their fragrance base. An esteemed perfume house with a long-standing legacy, their earliest fragrance was created in 1879, while their most recent addition was introduced in 2020, demonstrating their ongoing dedication to innovation and creativity.
