About Us
Established in 1999 as a small family company, The Somerset Toiletry Co. has flourished into an international business with toiletries sold in over 50 countries. We are renowned for bath, body and home fragrance products that vary from richly classical to wonderfully innovative.

We are a friendly team of designers, artworkers, perfumers, sales, admin and financial people who love our work and continually strive for excellence. Although an international company, our office in Clutton retains a small and welcoming feel.
