Watching Music: Lola James Harper

For more than 20 years, Lili, Noé, Céline, and Rami Mekdachi have traveled the world, camera in hand, capturing the places, encounters, and moments that shape human alchemy. Their family art project, Lola James Harper, brings together their images, music, films, and fragrances in a single quest: to celebrate the beauty of inspiring places-those iconic locations that transform our emotions, our bonds, and our stories. Lola James Harper fragrances and candles are inspired by rare places: from museums to galleries, from recording studios to artists’ homes; including the scents created for the Parisian fashion museum Palais Galliera, the legendary concept store Colette, and the recording studio of the iconic rock band The Smashing Pumpkins in Chicago. Lola James Harper was founded in in 2013. Creator of the signature scents of the iconic concept store Colette and the Hôtel Costes, Lola James Harper is far more than a fragrance and candle brand. Each creation tells the story of a place, a sound, an atmosphere, a state of mind, a solar universe-an art of living that invites daydreaming.
