Collaboration
Cadillac x LOLA JAMES HARper
OPTIQ – STUDIO EDITION
The Collaboration
We are honored to unveil our collaboration with the legendary Cadillac, created for the launch of their new electric vehicle, the Cadillac Optiq Studio Edition.
Over the past months, at the Lola James Harper Studio in Paris we imagined a complete sensory experience for this car, a dialogue between scent, sound, and image.
A short film was created to document this collaboration.
It follows Rami Mekdachi through the creative process in Paris, from searching for the right scent raw materials, to composing music with Lili and Noé Mekdachi in the Lola James Harper studio, recording at Artistic Palace Studio, and mixing at Sledge Studio.
THE SCENT
In our Lola James Harper Paris studio, we created an exclusive fragrance designed for the Cadillac Optiq interior: a subtle blend of dry woods, delicate spices, and fresh bergamot.
This scent is presented in our iconic 50 ml amber glass spray bottle, specially reimagined for this collaboration with a Nimbus Blue signature label, echoing the unique metallic blue of the Cadillac Optiq Studio Edition.
Named “Lola James Harper Cadillac Optiq in Detroit, 1902”, the fragrance pays tribute to Detroit, the birthplace of Cadillac, and the year of its founding.
The Music
Alongside the scent, we composed an original piece of music, created by the Lola James Harper family: Lili, Noé, Céline and Rami Mekdachi.
• Composed at the Lola James Harper Studio in Paris
• Recorded at Artistic Palace Studio in Paris
• Mixed in Dolby Atmos at Sledge Studio in Paris
• Mastered in Detroit at Third Man Mastering
The track was specifically designed to be experienced inside the Cadillac Optiq, equipped with a 17-speaker AKG Dolby Atmos sound system, offering a fully immersive listening experience.
The song, sharing the same name as the fragrance, is available on all streaming platforms in stereo, and in Dolby Atmos on Apple Music and Tidal.
