Musical Candles: Leisure, Redefined?
STUDIO FSR and Composer Aaron Kess created six scented candles with QR codes linked to specially-composed music, available January 2025.
The Concept
Musical Candles, available for USD $28 in January 2025 each have a QR code linked to STUDIO FSR's originally-composed Music Portfolio, where users can mix and match their own combination of Musical Candle with music (available via Apple Music and Spotify), allowing users to construct a personalized scent+music ambiance.
The Origin
After premiering a scented orchestral work in Rome in 2022, STUDIO FSR CEO Frederick Robin discovered the untapped niche of scent and music. Inspired by Frédéric Malle's collaborations with perfumers, Robin enlisted his Concordia College (Moorhead, MN) classmate, aspiring film composer Aaron Kess, to create "29 Watercolors," an original song to play when burning STUDIO FSR Musical Candles. "How does one write music for candles?" asked Kess.

The music is discreet and compliments the same social situations candles do: dinners, celebrations, or quiet time. "Our Musical Candles are perfect for anyone looking for a novel experience to share with their closest companions," says Robin.
