Why Choose a French Manufacturer for Your Scented Candles?

The Benefits of a Scented Candle Made in France

Uncompromising olfactory quality, regulatory expertise, craftsmanship passed down for over a century… For discerning brands, choosing a French manufacturer like BLF Private Label means opting for regulatory reliability and product quality. Discover why many luxury houses and retail players rely on our expertise to develop their candle and home fragrance product collections.

Since 1902, Bougies la Française, based in Cugand, Vendée, has upheld the candle-making tradition with passion and precision. As the heir to this century-old expertise, BLF Private Label is now the French reference for contract manufacturing of scented candles and custom home fragrance products.

In 2018, this excellence was celebrated with the award of the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label, a state recognition distinguishing French companies with exceptional skills. This label highlights BLF’s ability to blend artisanal tradition with industrial innovation, serving prestigious clients from luxury, perfumery, and high-end retail sectors.

Manufacturing in France is not just a marketing positioning; it is a strong quality commitment, with strict standards at all production levels. At BLF Private Label, each candle is designed and produced in compliance with the most demanding European standards:

• EN15426, EN15493, EN15494 standards: soot emission control, fire safety, flame height
• CLP standard: compliance with labeling requirements for fragrance substances
• Full traceability: monitoring every component throughout the production cycle
