BLF Private Label and the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label: A mark of excellence

Exceptional craftsmanship serving brands

Awarded by the French State, the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label recognizes exceptional artisanal and industrial know-how. For BLF Private Label, it represents much more than recognition: it is a tangible proof of a total commitment to quality, innovation, and tradition. A strong differentiating asset for luxury brands seeking a trusted partner in the world of home fragrance.

Created in 2005 by the Ministry of Economy, Finance, and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, the EPV label rewards French companies with exceptional craftsmanship. It is awarded based on rigorous criteria by a panel of independent experts, following a comprehensive audit of the company.
This label, which only applies to companies based in France, is the only one recognized by the State in the field of artisanal and industrial excellence. It is renewable every 5 years after a new evaluation process.

In 2018, BLF Private Label received this rare and prestigious distinction. It is a testament to:

• The technical mastery of manufacturing processes (pouring, filling, packaging, quality testing, etc.)
• The historical nature and transmission of know-how since 1902 (heritage of Bougies la Française)
• The ability to innovate while respecting traditions
• The company’s territorial roots and its commitment to promoting “Made in France”

This certification positions BLF Private Label among the best French contract manufacturing players in the home fragrance sector. For its client brands, it guarantees quality, reliability, and expertise recognized at the highest level.

For over a century, BLF Private Label’s expertise has been based on a subtle balance between tradition and innovation. The company retains artisanal know-how inherited from its origins – mastery of materials, techniques, and measurements – while relying on state-of-the-art industrial tools:

• Automated and semi-automated production lines
• Manual pouring line for small series
• In-house development of exclusive formulations
• Quality testing at every stage: combustion, wax/fragrance compatibility, safety, stability, etc.

This ability to produce on an industrial scale without compromising artisanal quality is at the core of BLF’s approach. It enables the company to meet the expectations of the most demanding brands in terms of design, olfactory performance, and durability.

The EPV label not only values technical know-how but also highlights a comprehensive responsibility approach. In line with the Emosia group’s CSR charter, BLF Private Label works daily towards more responsible production:

• Optimizing production flows to reduce environmental impact
• Integrating Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) into product development
• Tracing the material journey, from sourcing to delivery
• Increasing use of recyclable and sustainable materials

Through these actions, the company contributes to the sustainability of a local, innovative, and ethical industrial sector. Discover the Emosia group’s CSR charter.

The EPV label embodies everything BLF Private Label has stood for over the last 100 years: a love for the craft, attention to detail, uncompromising quality, and a bold capacity to innovate.
