Krigler perfume is an old perfume house located in Monaco and in NYC at The Plaza Hotel. It’s a historic luxury perfume line. And I admit that I’m embarassed that I’m now just trying them.
Ultra Chaeau Krigler 212 is inspired by contemporary Manhattan but I find the scent very retro and that isn’t a bad thing at all. It is inspired by one of their vintage fragrances. Ultra Chateau Krigler 212 opens with clean florals and tons of aldehydes. The scent is an “old-fashioned” version of clean with violet, rose, lily of the valley and dry, sparkling aldehydes. It reminds me of those wonderful “soapy” florals of the 1970’s. In the heart, I get a spicy lilac with a jasmine soap bar over a dry, astringent cedar. The dry-down is a clean floral musk. Overall, it’s a “dazzling” fragrance.
Notes listed include lily of the valley, iris, magnolia, violet, rose, aldehydes, musk, champaca, jasmine, ylang ylang, lilac, amber, cedar, and damascus plum.
Give Krigler Ultra Cheateau Krigler 212 a try if you like aldehydic florals or 1970’s-1980’s florals. Try it if you like Chanel No. 5 EDT, Tommi Sooni Jinx, Van Cleef & Arpels First EDT, YSL Y, Bourbon French Parfums Perfume of Paradise, original Oscar, and/or Estee Lauder Estee Super Cologne Spray.
Chateau Krigler 212 has average projection and below average longevity in my opinion.
Ultra Chateau Krigler 212 is available in 2 sizes (1.7 oz and 3.4 oz) with prices ranging from $235-$325 at Krigler New York City.
Victoria’s Final EauPINION – A clean, aldehydic floral with a retro feel. I like it but I’m turned off by the luxury price point. Maybe that is why I haven’t tried the brand until now…

One of the blog posts I linked to said that the brand was the “most famous perfume line you’ve never heard of”. Or something like that. I agree.
[…] Ultra Chateau Krigler 212 (created, presumably, in 2012) is supposed to be an aldehydic floral, but I struggle to think of it as such because the prominent rose, lily of the valley, and aldehydic notes are almost transformed by a big gin-and-tonic accord. There is nothing like a bracing slug of quinine to make lily of the valley less insipid, right? The last time I wore Ultra Chateau, I ran across Blacknall Allen’s post on “bitter chypre martinis” and decided it could be an honorary member of that club.

[…] Vohina, Tommi Sooni Jinx, Evyan White Shoulders, Chanel No. 5 EDT, Nina Ricci L’Air du Temps, Krigler Ultra Chateau Krigler 212 and/or Van Cleef & Arpels First EDT. Because it reminds me of other “vintage” […]
[…] Give Seyrig a try if you really, really like aldehydes. Or if you like soapy florals. Or if you like perfumes like Estee Lauder White Linen, Chanel No. 22, Jessica McClintock, Chloe Chloe, Imaginary Authors L’Orchidée Terrible, Guerlain Chamade and/or Krigler Ultra Chateau Krigler 212. […]
