Moscow to St. Petersburg to Berlin

In 1904, Albert Krigler opened his first haute parfumerie in St. Petersburg, creating bespoke scents for high society, including the beloved Pleasure Gardenia 79 and his tribute to the Hermitage Museum. After the Russian Revolution, he returned to Berlin and established the Krigler House at Hotel Viktoria, pioneering the concept of luxury perfumes in iconic hotels. His creations, like Schöne Linden 05, continue to enchant with timeless elegance.

From Berlin to France — Inspirations Across Europe

Albert Krigler’s travels inspired a world of exquisite fragrances. From the elegance of Eleganter Schwan 06 at Neuschwanstein Castle to the delicate charm of Subtle Orchid 10 in Paris, and the crisp freshness of Good Fir 11 from the Colorado mountains—each scent tells a story. Settling on the French Riviera, Albert created Chateau Krigler 12 and Champfleury 132, timeless icons celebrated by royalty and fragrance connoisseurs alike.

The French Riviera — Romance, Art, and Bespoke Luxury

Amid the sun-soaked shores of Cannes and the lavender fields of Grasse, the House of Krigler created some of its most iconic fragrances. From the romantic Lieber Gustav 14 bridging France and Germany, to the avant-garde Monsieur Dada 18 inspired by the Dadaist movement, and the sparkling luxury of Sparkling Diamond 22, each scent captures a moment, a place, a story. Exclusivity and elegance define Krigler’s legacy, from bespoke creations to timeless classics.

New York for Love

In the 1930s, love brought Krigler to the United States. Albert’s granddaughter opened the first Krigler boutique at The Plaza, Manhattan, introducing iconic fragrances like Juicy Jasmine 30, America One 31, and Chateau Krigler 12. From unisex classics to bespoke creations, Krigler’s legacy of elegance and storytelling continues to captivate.

London, Middle-East & Paris

In the 1960s, Mrs. Krigler crafted iconic scents from London pubs to Himalayan forests and Jordanian royalty. Paris brought Emeraude Noire 77, inspired by a lost family heirloom. By the 1980s, she focused solely on bespoke perfumes, shaping Krigler’s legacy.

Return to the Near Future

In 2005, great-grandson Ben revived Krigler, blending heritage with modern luxury. From Extraordinaire Camelia 209 to Ultra Chateau Krigler 212, his fragrances honor the past while captivating new generations.

The Voyage Continues

Today, Ben Krigler carries the family legacy forward, discovering scents across the globe and creating stories in every fragrance. From New York’s Plaza to Palm Beach, Vienna, San Francisco, Houston, and Berlin, each boutique houses an atelier where perfumes, candles, and more are crafted with unmatched precision. Limited, timeless, and steeped in history—every Krigler creation is a journey in itself.
