LOLA JAMES HARPER is a sensory universe of fragrance, music, photography and film, founded in Paris in 2013 by multidisciplinary artist Rami Mekdachi. Together with his wife Céline and their children Lili and Noé, he has spent years travelling the world with a camera and a guitar close at hand. Along the way, the family collects images, sounds, stories and scents that eventually come together in the world of Lola James Harper.
The inspiration often comes from places with a character of their own: a recording studio where the music continues late into the night, a small comic book shop or a surf store. Rami translates these places into olfactive memories, fragrances that suggest an atmosphere without trying to capture it completely. After all, memories are never perfectly clear, and it is precisely in the space between reality and imagination that the magic happens.
The collection of candles and home fragrances invites you to let that world continue at home. Light a candle in a place you love, or fill a room with a scent that takes you somewhere else. Lola James Harper turns everyday spaces into settings for small moments of escape, creating fragrances that linger somewhere between a soundtrack, a road movie and a beautiful memory.
