Luxury Behind Every Note

Since the creation of Pleasure Gardenia 79 in 1879, perfumer Albert Krigler embarked on a fragrant journey that has shaped Krigler perfume into an emblem of exclusivity and craftsmanship. Rooted in romance and artistry, Krigler develops scents that convey stories and eras.

The Origins: A Love Story Bottled

Born in Berlin, Albert Krigler meticulously created his first perfume, Pleasure Gardenia 79, as an engagement gift for his French fiancée—symbolizing love through jasmine, mimosa, and gardenia. This signature scent, infused with historic romance, laid the foundation for Krigler’s narrative-driven approach and enduring allure.

Global Influences and Evolution

Krigler’s narrative unfolded across continents—from St. Petersburg in 1904 to the South of France in 1909, then to New York’s prestigious Plaza Hotel in 1931. These relocations infused the brand with varied olfactory influences and global recognition. Krigler became synonymous with “quiet luxury,” niche perfumery, and craftsmanship, never succumbing to mass retail.

Iconic Scents Worn by Legends

The House of Krigler has crafted fragrances for numerous icons:

• Lieber Gustav 14 – Worn by Marlene Dietrich and F. Scott Fitzgerald; Leonardo DiCaprio famously wore it at The Great Gatsby premiere.

• Chateau Krigler 12 – Grace Kelly’s “lucky charm” on Oscar night.

• English Promenade 19 – Audrey Hepburn wore it during Roman Holiday filming.

• America One 31 – Loved by Ernest Hemingway and JFK after Krigler established in New York.

Bespoke Mastery & Limited Editions

Krigler elevates luxury through custom fragrance experiences:

• Bespoke Perfumery – Personalized creations starting at tens of thousands USD; the process may span months and includes private sessions and artisan trunks.

• Exclusive Retail Boutiques – Located in elite hotels like the Plaza NYC, Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Four Seasons Palm Beach, and Four Seasons Houston, offering private “scent sommelier” consultations.
