Krigler parfumeur since 1904
A Fragrant Journey Through Time
The Krigler world is like a journey. Tales of distant countries and places of beautiful earthly heritage. But also the turbulent history of last century and the family journey through it all that. From great sensuality, attention to detail, classic craftsmanship, sense for style and the courage to start again. The artisan luxury in composing throughout the time.
From Berlin to Moscow
The journey indeed begins in Berlin, where Albert Krigler was born in 1860. At the time the young chemistry student already leads the first professional position and travels to Imperial Russia, Moscow; where the famous French perfume maker Rallet was just established and where many young Europeans, who are interested in a passion of making fragrances, have been attracted to come there and venture in joy of life. The 19-year-old Albert falls in love with the daughter of one of the French parfumeur and a colleague at the same time. They got engaged in 1879 and Albert passionately created the most beautiful fragrance inspired with love and to celebrate their engagement.
A special gift of his emotional expression, his first perfume, Pleasure Gardenia 79, a blossom explosion of jasmine, mimosa and gardenia dedicated to their love.
The inspiration for this is not just the new relationship status with Charlotte, but the gardenia flowers in the garden around the golden Kinkaku-ji Temples growing in Kyoto. Popular motifs in Japanese lacquer work exhibited in Moscow at that time. Pleasure Gardenia 79 should be an important signature stamp and still is for the fragrance history of the World.
