The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas is a staple of luxury, providing guests with the sights, tastes, and feel of a five-star experience. The Lonestar landmark has announced a partnership with luxe perfumery, The House of Krigler. Favored by royalty and celebrities alike, Texas’s sole five-star hotel is set to smell fabulous.
The House of Krigler opened an exclusive boutique in the lobby of the Ritz-Carlton this year, allowing hotel guests access to the label’s collection of legacy goods.

The opening marks the first and only location in Dallas for the prestigious perfumery and artisan fragrance brand, joining an elite group of just 14 locations worldwide.
“We are honored to welcome the world-renowned Krigler brand to The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas,” says Andrew Davidson, general manager of The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas, in a press release.
“Krigler is synonymous with elegance and is rich with history, this collaboration further distinguishes our hallmark in providing unparalleled service and one-of-a-kind experiences.”
The apothecary-style, 850-square-foot boutique is situated within the hotel lobby in an inviting and open-faced corner. Visitors will be greeted by a friendly clerk providing sample spritzes, showcasing the diverse wealth of aromas.
The boutique is a luxe blend of the classic Krigler aesthetic with black, gold and mirrored Art Deco style, mixed with local décor, including Texan wood and Italian lighting fixtures.
The product line includes a repertoire of small-batch fragrances, organic soy-based scent candles, and soaps, as well as personalized flasks, decanters, and trunks to house customized fragrances.
A new fragrance typically coincides with each boutique opening. Dallas’ yet-to-be-announced scent will be released in late 2023, as it takes time to formulate the perfect blend.
The highly awaited boutique adds to the “collecting” aspect of the label, encouraging brand loyalists to claim each location’s unique scent as an olfactive souvenir.
Enamored by the art of scent creation, Albert Krigler opened his perfumery in 1904 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and began to create a collection of exclusive fragrances. He moved the perfumery to his hometown of Berlin, attracting the likes of the Berlin bourgeoisie and German aristocracy, before finally settling in the South of France. Along the way, Krigler gained acclaim and high-profile clientele, including Audrey Hepburn, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and the Kennedy family, according to the brand’s press release.
The iconic fragrance house continues to pride itself in exclusivity and expert craftsmanship, placing the brand at the forefront of luxury and innovation.
To celebrate this luxurious collaboration, the Ritz-Carlton curated a special cocktail, “the 1904,” with a floral scent and notes of bergamot, available by request as a bespoke, secret menu item at the Rattlesnake Bar.
The hotel has also rolled out an exclusive “Scent Sommelier” suite experience, providing a posh presentation from the privacy of a luxury hotel suite, where Krigler dispatches trays of perfumes and handmade designer trunks filled with extracts and raw ingredients for a tailored blending session.
The luxe collaboration adds to the hotel’s list of high-end amenities and exclusive experiences.
The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas is located at 2121 McKinney Ave, Dallas, TX 75201.
