Hola and Mabuhay! My name is Amber (yes, just like the perfume). I'm from La Union and Bicol. 

Lola’s Garden began as something deeply personal.

I grew up surrounded by my grandparents’ garden in the Philippines—fruit-bearing trees, flowers, the quiet rhythm of care and patience. It was never just a place. It was where stories were shared, where traditions lived, and where I first understood what it meant to nurture something over time.

When I moved to Europe, that sense of place stayed with me, but it also changed. Distance has a way of reshaping memory. What once felt familiar became something I had to reinterpret, hold onto, and express in new ways.

Lola’s Garden is my way of doing that.

It is not about recreating the past exactly as it was. It is about translating it—through scent, through feeling, through a different lens. Even without using traditional Filipino ingredients, every fragrance carries the spirit of where I come from: warmth, resilience, and quiet strength.

To me, being Filipino is not limited to what you can see or list. It’s how you remember, how you adapt, and how you carry your story forward, even in a different place.

This brand lives in that in-between space—between the Philippines and Europe, between memory and reinvention, between heritage and modern identity.

Lola’s Garden is both literal and symbolic. It honors where I come from, while allowing it to grow into something new. 

This brand is a tribute to all of you who shares the same story as me, and to every Lola and Lolo whose love is felt through quiet actions, shared meals, and lessons passed down through generations. Lola’s Garden is not just a fragrance brand. It is a reflection of where we come from and the values that shape who we become.

And wherever you are, I hope you find a piece of your own story in it.
