I cannot thank the team enough for their help with a very special gift for my mum's 70th. They managed to search through archives and reproduce her signature perfume from the 80ies, long since discontinued. For more than 15yrs she had been sparingly using the remaining miniature sample bottles, gifted to her by the shop when she last visited. The smell has brought back so many memories for her and us children. She was totally overwhelmed and so emotional, it was beautiful!Truly above and beyond xxx

We have stayed in their apartments multiple times now, and this is the only place that we have ever stayed in more than once, which I think says it all, absolutely stunning apartments, you will not be

Visited this lovely perfumery and it smelled beautiful. I received good recommendations from Janice. They were also very helpful when I received an incorrect item. Great service recovery.

The lady owner (boss) was very unprofessional and extremely unpleasant. I did like the shop and products but unfortunately I will not be returning. Customer service was terrible- NOT even a good morning. She was more Interested in picking up the leaves by the door than attending to her potential customers!!!!! Rudeness gets you nowhere !!!!

It's worth a trip to Bourton on the Water just to visit this little gem. Amazing fragrances and a nice range of products. My only criticism is they don't answer emails, I've messaged them twice to ask when Ruby will be back in stock, but I'm still waiting for an answer.

I had visited the shop in 2001 and was given a birthday gift of the introduction perfume course for my birthday this year - I was very happy that unlike many small artisan businesses the Cotswold perfumery is still standing, in fact it is thriving!The shop is as I remembered it (minus the garden) and the staff are as warm and welcoming as before.The one day introduction course went beyond expectations - John has so much knowledge and expertise, he is teaching the beginnings of a real skill and not just a 'touristy' version.A well paced format without being rushed. There was an easy humour over my worries about doing maths without making me feel out of my depth. As a person with Dyslexica, Dysgraphia and Dyscalcular I can attest that this course is very I inclusive. I had so much fun that I am contemplating signing up for the 5 day course!

Smells amazing,Well I guess you?d hope so but, lovely relaxed shop, even on a Saturday, with the chance to smell all of the scents, both of us found one that we wanted to take home and, added bonus, found that the price was very reasonable, certainly compared with most things with the word ?Cotswolds? associated with it. Very friendly proprietor and lots of other things to pique your interest around the store.

Amazing place to stay! We had 3 wonderful days and the accommodation was fantastic! Spacious, clean, great kitchen and other amenities. Has everything you need in a self contained apartment and a great price!

I would really, really recommend the courses here. John, the Master Perfumer, is that rare combination of very passionate about what he does but also very personable and willing to share, so you spend a day immersed in a world of wonder and delight and learning?.and beautiful fragrances. It was one of the best things I have ever done !

As an 18 year old with a keen interest in chemistry and perfumery, the one day course was very enjoyable and provided me with a wealth of new knowledge. The day has a perfect balance of theory and application; the setting is simply idyllic and John teaches with an unparalleled passion and expertise. I would highly recommend to someone of any age who would love to gain an insight into the world of perfumery and have a try at composing their own scent!

Excellent service. My order did not arrive, when I told them, they were super-helpful, and send a new order straight away by recorded delivery.Thank you! Will use againThis is my second review sep 2022I have been using the cologne from this shop for a long time.The delivery was quick and the packaging was perfect.The cologne has been redesigned and modernized.Unfortunately, the new bottle can't be opened even if you twist it, so you can't put it in your own atomizer.But that does not matter much, I will continue to buy from here because I really like the product and the staff are wonderfully helpful.

We love the Cotswold Perfumery which we visit on every trip to Bourton in the Water! We especially enjoy browsing their crystal necklaces & accessories which we purchase for ourselves and as presents for friends! We also recommend their organic floral perfumes which are quite unique compared with the traditional High Street Brands! Recommended for Browsing and checkout the really attractive necklaces in presentation cases! Enjoy!
