LAUNE x The Editors

Meet The Editors! The Editors is a contemporary, niche brand that offers a unique olfactive journey through scented candles. Each candle is meticulously crafted by hand in small batches and made with coconut soy wax and premium perfume oils.

I am candle obsessed and even more obsessed with The Editors. From chic packaging to elegant scents, they make the perfect candles (my personal fav is Sundown). Learn more about them and their scents below.

1. Tell me about The Editors. How was it created?

In the passion for scents! I established my brand The Editors in January of 2024, it’s very much new. As a huge fan of scented candles and the perfume world, I tried all sorts of brands. Back in 2022 I started learning on my own how to achieve a perfect burning candle with an amazing hot throw. On the aesthetic side I was looking for something that stands out and red is one of my favorite colors. I had to find a supplier that would customize red crimson jars. I ended up with a perfect glossy red vessel for my line.

2. What is the LAUNE (mood) of The Editors?

RED! The Editors is a niche brand that offers a unique olfactive experience through scented candles. The mood is to enjoy the infinite world of scents!

3. Describe the style of The Editors in three words.

Chic, Contemporary, Artisanal.

4. What inspires you?

The art of scents! It’s such a diverse and unique world. They evoke memories, emotions, they can transport you to different places and times.

5. What does the creation process look like?

I hand blend each candle. I use a perfect blend of coconut soy wax, fine fragrances and flat braided cotton wicks, all together to provide a clean and long burning candle. After candles are poured into their vessels, you need to let them cure for about a week, to ensure the wax and fragrance oils are bound together.

6. Do you have a favorite candle? How do you choose your scents?

Perhaps my favorite candle is Leatherette. I find it such a unique blend of supple leather and soft woods, it’s like a musk therapy to me. It’s a very subtle and inviting scent that envelops your space. For my line I chose to start with 4 different directions: floral, clean, leather/woody and warm oriental. I think it’s important to understand olfactory families, in order to discover your favorite scents. As a brand you can also educate and help your customers to choose the right olfactive experience, that’s why for each candle we have detailed description of what to expect from the scent.
