A Historic Expertise Recognized by the French State

Choosing a French manufacturer for your scented candles means embracing a tradition of excellence, precision, and artisanal passion. Since 1902, Bougies la Française, based in Cugand in the Vendée region, has upheld the craft of candlemaking with dedication and expertise. As the heir to this centuries-old know-how, BLF Private Label is now a leading name in French production of custom scented candles and home fragrance products.

In 2018, this excellence was officially recognized by the French State through the prestigious Living Heritage Company (EPV) label. This distinction honors companies that embody exceptional Made in France craftsmanship and industrial know-how. It showcases BLF’s unique ability to combine tradition, innovation, and high standards in the manufacturing of fragrance products for luxury, perfumery, and premium retail clients.
