Bourton on the Water is well known for its Perfumery - The Cotswold Perfumery - that has been blending perfumes now for over thirty years. The Company is based in a magnificent eighteenth century traditional stone building where oak beams and crooked floors are the norm. But behind this idyllic facade is in fact a thriving company that now manufactures fragrances for some of the most famous perfume houses in the world.
John Stephen is the perfumer and owner of the Cotswold Perfumery. It was John's father who in 1965 decided to turn what was up until then just a hobby into a family business.

In 1992 the Cotswold Perfumery was proud to announce that Buckingham Palace had selected “Pallas” over all the competition - a beautiful Jasmin perfume.
In 1998 the first wins were achieved with a French perfume house (Fragonard) against competition from French perfume manufacturers. And in 1999 John was commissioned by The Queen to produce two perfumes for Her Majesty as well as other fragrances for the Royal family.
