About Dark Foundry No.8

Dark Foundry No.8 was born from a shared passion between psychic and wellbeing champion Viki Smith, and ex-soldier turned artisan Paul Briggs. Paul discovered the healing power of scent through his own mental health journey, and together they’ve created a brand rooted in wellbeing, heritage, and authenticity.

Their products honour the West Midlands’ cultural legacy while helping people create calming, uplifting spaces at home.
