16 Ways to Shop Like a Beauty Editor This Holiday

Try: Krigler Abrakaadabra 221 Perfume, $395 for 1.7fl.oz./50ml.

Since its founding in the early 1900s, Krigler has become world famous for making fragrances beloved by European royalty — and de facto American royalty, too (think F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Marlene Dietrich, and Audrey Hepburn). To this day, the brand remains a thing for those in the know. That's because it isn't sold in department stores or Sephora, but has intimate shops tucked inside lavish hotels in Beverly Hills, San Francisco, Palm Beach, Chicago and New York. There, you can get heritage scents worn by artistic legends... or Abrakaadabra 221, the latest fragrance from the house, which opens with bergamot and pepper before introducing lily of the valley and relaxing to notes of tonka bean, and white musk.

Both warming and bright, the scent was serendipitously imagined pre-pandemic to conjure feelings of healing, coziness and peace. Of course, if your brand of peace comes with knowing no one else in the world wears your signature fragrance, the house is happy to create a bespoke fragrance at one of its labs.
