DARK FOUNDRY NO.8
Welcome to Dark Foundry No.8, an independent British luxury home fragrance house, proudly born in the heart of the Black Country.
Founded by Viki Smith and Paul Briggs, our journey began at a kitchen table with a shared vision: to create exceptional home fragrances that celebrate craftsmanship, heritage and individuality.
Today, Dark Foundry No.8 is a growing, award-winning family business, with our fragrances featured in British Vogue and our roots firmly planted in the West Midlands.
But we’re about so much more than candles.
At our Willenhall home, we’ve created The Alchemist Lounge, a beautifully atmospheric, creative space where guests can escape the everyday and discover the art of candle making.
Led by co-founder and chandler Paul, our hands-on experiences invite you to explore fragrance, learn traditional techniques and pour your very own luxury candle to take home.
Whether you’re joining us for a date day, celebrating with friends, enjoying a family experience or simply treating yourself to something different, everyone is welcome.
Our experiences are relaxed, welcoming and inclusive, with refreshments provided and plenty of laughter along the way.
We believe luxury should be experienced, not just purchased. Every guest becomes part of our story.
