STEP INTO THE SOUL-STIRRING CREATIVITY OF A MUSIC STUDIO

Oct, 20 2024

Fully « here and now », together, ready to co-create. It's by far the best place to create miracles and surprises, to feel accomplished...

At Lola James Harper, we believe that the creative process is a miraculous synergy : a moment of pure co-creation. Whether composing music or crafting fragrances, it’s about being fully present, ready to catch the magic when it strikes.

As the Meckdachi family, the founders of Lola James Harper, say: "Leave us in a place full of musical instruments, and we will feel just right." This mantra speaks to the heart of their creative philosophy, a reflection of their deep connection to music and the joy of unexpected encounters.

In a music studio, creativity flows freely, fueled by collaboration and mutual respect. Composing music becomes a way of meeting others, sharing thoughts, and listening deeply to one another. It’s a true exchange, one that brings a project to new heights by embracing the talents and limitations of everyone involved. The result is a unique creation, shaped by the energy of surprise and the joy of connection.

A SOUL-STIRRING SCENT TO COMPOSE AND DREAM SONGS…

Music, after all, is a universal language that transcends the senses. It is not only heard but also seen, felt, and immortalized. The Music Studio candle captures this essence. With the warmth of cashmeran and the vibrant notes of rose floating like a melody, the soft musk adds a layer of comforting intimacy, allowing you to feel the energy of the studio with every light.
