A little more time
Cotswold Perfumery is a useful stop when you want to bring home something more personal than a standard village souvenir. This family business has made fragrances since 1966 and has a shop on Victoria Street in Bourton-on-the-Water.
What to come for
The range includes perfumes, flower waters and home fragrance. Make this a browsing stop within a village visit: take time to compare scents rather than trying to squeeze it between two timed attractions. It is particularly useful for a gift that has a connection to the place you are visiting.
Fancy making your own?
The business also runs perfume-making courses and workshops in its teaching room and laboratory. These are a separate, bookable experience. Check the course provider’s dates, duration, eligibility and booking terms before arranging a trip around one; a shop visit does not include a workshop.
How it fits into a Bourton day
Pair the shop with a wander beside the Windrush and stone bridges. If you are travelling with young children, treat this as a brief stop for the adults rather than the main family activity. Our Bourton guide helps you plan the wider visit.
Before you go
Check current shop hours directly, especially around seasonal changes. Ask ahead about access or bringing a dog if either will affect your visit.
