Custom Scented Candles: A Strategic Branding Asset

Scented candles are no longer just decorative items—they’ve become sensory branding tools. They capture emotions, set a tone, and convey a brand’s world through scent and design.

For premium and luxury brands, offering a custom scented candle can serve various strategic purposes:

  • Enhance customer loyalty with an exclusive branded product
  • Create a multi-sensory customer experience
  • Launch limited-edition collections or gift sets
  • Develop a premium lifestyle extension for your core offering

At BLF Private Label, we treat every candle project as a unique collaboration that blends creativity, technical mastery, and market know-how.

CUSTOM WAX OPTIONS

The wax is the foundation of a high-quality scented candle. We offer:

  • 100% vegetable wax: for clean-burning and eco-conscious positioning
  • 100% mineral wax: for maximum scent throw and burn control
  • 50/50 blends: combining the benefits of both

You can also choose the color of your wax to match your brand’s visual identity.

BESPOKE FRAGRANCE DESIGN

Fragrance is the emotional core of your candle. You can:

  • Select from our extensive fragrance library
  • Develop a custom perfume with our perfumers
  • Supply your own concentrate for full brand control

Each scent is tested to ensure optimal diffusion and long-lasting performance, hot and cold.

Tailored Vessels & Containers

Choose from a wide selection of containers:

  • Glass (clear, frosted, or lacquered)
  • Porcelain, ceramic, or concrete
  • Multiple sizes and styles to suit your market

Vessels can be customized through:

  • Screen printing
  • Premium labels
  • Hot foil stamping
  • Interior/exterior lacquering

LUXURY ACCESSORIES & PACKAGING

The perceived value of a custom candle also lies in its finishing touches:

  • Elegant lids (gold, silver, black, wood)
  • Premium packaging (rigid boxes, soft pouches, textured sleeves)

All packaging options are fully customizable with multi-color printing, hot stamping, selective varnish, embossing, and more.
