From Berlin to France
Albert will travel a lot in the next few years - and according to his diary, discovered new scents, new countries, where he got his inspirations. Aside from many, this one was very special; an ultimate elegance called Eleganter Schwan 06, a scent that describes the gardens of Neuschwanstein Castle. He visited the gardens every time he visited the family on vacation in Bavaria.
Subtle Orchid 10, tells the story of one Cafés near Paris's Rue St. Honoré, where he liked to socialize with friends, and in which the opulent fragrance of the orchids mixes with the ever so sweet Viennoiseries.
Good Fir 11, comes from the fragrant forests of Colorado mountains that he traveled through on a train ride from New York City to San Francisco. A journey that took days at the time!
Parfumeries will soon be established in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and on the Côte D’Azur, the new center of life for the family.
Charlotte, who was from Antibes, felt very homesick and wanted to go back to her home. Albert, who did everything for his love, decided for the family to find a new home for them. The property that Albert acquires there will be where the most fragrances are created. In a few years he opened boutiques in Cannes, Monte Carlo and Paris.
A house in Champagne was made, which Albert jokingly called Chateau Krigler. He immortalized the flowers of the garden in Chateau Krigler 12, later this became an Icon fragrance. Initially there was no success with this creation as it was contrary to the prevailing trend towards the heavy fragrances, despite this very light and flowery scent. Too revolutionary for those days! Later on it was infatuated by Royal Families from all over the world.
A year later Champfleury 132, the male counterpart was created; something spicy and musky. Albert Krigler developed around five fragrances every year, but he doesn't launch all of them - just as the last number in creation suggests. 132 means it was its second fragrance in 1913.
