Krigler
Five generations of heritage perfumery.
Krigler is a heritage perfume house founded in 1904 by Albert Krigler, who opened his first boutique in Saint Petersburg before the family relocated west during the upheavals of the early twentieth century. A New York chapter began in 1931, when his granddaughter opened a perfumery inside The Plaza Hotel — still the brand's spiritual home today. Five generations on, the house is run by great-grandson Ben Krigler and maintains an archive of more than three hundred compositions, many of them tied to specific patrons and decades: New York for Love (1930), America One (1957), Lovely Patchouli (1956). Production remains family-controlled, fragrances are typically released in small batches, and distribution is anchored by Krigler boutiques in New York, Paris, Saint-Tropez and a handful of luxury hotels.
