If you’ve ever fallen in love with a scent so deeply that it becomes part of who you are, then welcome to the club. L’Abondance, a homegrown fragrance atelier I’ve adored since 2023, has finally opened a kiosk at Molito Lifestyle Center in Alabang — and it feels like a proud milestone not just for the brand, but for those of us who’ve supported it from the very beginning.

I still remember the first time I tried one of their eau de parfums. Ms Lulu was so kind to make a Pain Au Chocolat edp for me and it’s the best!! Ang bango and it smells like the real thing. *drool* It’s more memorable than many high-end international brands I’ve tried before. From that moment on, I’ve never turned back. L’Abondance became the brand I recommended to friends, gifted to loved ones, and kept returning to whenever I wanted something indulgent yet meaningful.
A One-Woman Brand With a Big Heart
One of the things I admire most about L’Abondance is that it’s run entirely by a one-woman team. Every candle, every linen spray, every bottle of perfume is made by Ms Lulu who’s super nice too! The founder’s half-French, half-Filipino background gives her creations a signature balance: European-inspired sophistication wrapped in warmth, nostalgia, and quiet charm.

Supporting a brand like this feels personal. You’re not feeding a faceless corporation — you’re uplifting a woman who pours her vision, talent, and time into every single item she releases.
Why the Molito Kiosk Matters
Molito has become a go-to spot for lifestyle, food, and community — so seeing L’Abondance grace its halls feels right. And for those of us who know the brand well, this kiosk is more than just a physical store:
-
It’s a place where you can smell the full collection in person. (Though I seriously thought that it’s gonna be easier to choose a scent when I can smell everything in person. HINDI PALA HAHA. I got confused because lahat gusto ko lol)
-
It gives newcomers a chance to understand the craftsmanship behind each scent.
-
It’s a quiet celebration of how far a passion project can go when people truly believe in it.

Everything Smells Luxurious (And I Mean Everything)
One thing L’Abondance has always gotten right? Its scent profiles.
Whether it’s a decadent gourmand, a fresh aromatic, or a soft floral, everything smells elevated, like something you’d expect from a boutique European fragrance house. But what makes it even better is that the products are thoughtfully crafted and locally made.
It’s rare to find a local brand that captures luxury so effortlessly, yet still feels warm and grounded. That’s why I stayed and why I still consider their perfumes staples in my collection.

Why Supporting Local Matters Even More Now
Choosing local isn’t just about patriotism — it’s about sustaining homegrown artistry. When you buy from L’Abondance:
-
You support a Filipino-led, woman-run business.
-
You encourage the growth of the local fragrance scene.
-
You get quality that rivals (and often surpasses) international brands without the inflated price tag.
-
You help keep craftsmanship alive in an industry dominated by mass production.
And in return, you get scents created with intention, story, and soul.
Watching L’Abondance grow from an online atelier into having a kiosk in Molito is genuinely fulfilling. As someone who’s been a huge fan since 2023, I can honestly say this brand deserves every bit of recognition it’s getting.
If you’re from the south, or simply love exploring niche local fragrances, a visit to their kiosk is a must. Who knows, maybe you’ll find the scent that becomes part of your story too.
