Frequently Asked Questions
Expertly blended in the UK. Unbeatable longevity. No designer markups.
We’ve spent years perfecting our formulas to capture the character and "DNA" of the world’s most iconic scents. While no two fragrances are ever 100% identical due to different ingredient sources, about 97% of our community tell us they can’t tell the difference.
We focus on the notes that matter most—the ones that linger on your skin and get you noticed.
It’s a fair question! The "big" brands spend a fortune on celebrity ambassadors, primetime TV ads, and custom-molded glass bottles.
We decided to skip all of that. By using standardised, minimalist bottles and focusing our budget entirely on high-quality oils and perfumer’s alcohol, we can offer the same olfactory experience without the "luxury" markup.
Longevity is a top priority for us. We formulate our scents as Eau de Parfum (EDP) or Parfum concentrations, which contain a higher percentage of fragrance oils than a standard Eau de Toilette.
While everyone’s skin chemistry is different, our scents are designed to provide a strong "scent trail" and last through a standard workday or evening out.
We know that buying fragrance online can feel like a gamble. That’s why we offer a straightforward return policy. If you spray your bottle and realise it’s not quite what you expected, you can return it to us within 30 days for a swap or a refund.
We want you to find a scent you genuinely love wearing.
Yes. We use high-quality, industry-standard ingredients, and all our products are fully compliant with safety regulations.
However, because fragrance contains allergens (even natural ones), we always recommend a quick "patch test" on your wrist before a full application if you have very sensitive skin.
Never. We are 100% cruelty-free and our formulas are vegan-friendly. We believe you should be able to smell incredible without any compromise on your values.
We aim to get your new favourite scent to you as fast as possible!
Most orders are dispatched within 24 hours. Once it leaves us, you can usually expect your parcel at your door within 2–3 working days.
You’ll get a tracking link the moment it’s on its way so you can keep an eye on its progress.

Had so many compliments and they last so long!
“Absolutely in love with all the perfumes I purchased! I had to go back for more. I originally ordered the 3 x 100ml bundle and then got six more. So, so happy!”

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 800 reviews.
This is a beautiful perfume! I haven’t actually tried La Bomba so cannot compare but this perfume has been so well complimented. It lasts really well and once settled it smells amazing. It’s not too sweet or fruity just the right amount of each. I purchased the 30ml to try, I will definitely be purchasing the bigger bottle.
Took delivery of this and a few other fragrances only yesterday 15th May. This fragrance is insane. I can still smell it this morning. Outstanding value and fragrance pay off.
Cant wait to try the others now too!
Absolutely beautiful scent its just like the original one you can't tell the difference at all. You will not be disappointed if you love the original one. I have had so many compliments with this and mostly from men
Among the lemony citrusy scent of TEV, this is my favourite so I bought two bottles. It’s a unisex scent, and great for this coming summer. On my first use, my friends asked what scent I use because they love it. It’s light; it’s fresh; it’s best for day time wear.
It’s stunning!
It’s sweet but light. I can smell the vanilla the lemon and the slight hint of bergamot which keeps it fresh and not sickly. Perfect for spring, summer or abroad. Currently my every day go to
Absolutely adore the scent! It's sweet and refreshing at the same time. You even want to eat the scent. Lol. Received many compliments for this one and it also lasts which is great!
This is part of my recent order having read alot of positive reviews. It did smell amazing and delectable like a lemon meringue pie! I can't help sniffing myself. The scent lasts for a good 4 hours on me on a hot and humid day which is quite impressive.
I have a travel size of the og and this smells exactly like it. If you like sweet fruity fragrances this one is a must-have! I love the og so much that I bought 2 bottles on the bogof promotion and I'm so happy I did. Fantastic scent, it makes me feel pretty all day long. Thank you TEV ♡
Identical to the real thing - I bought it based on reviews of this fragrance but also on past purchases of other fragrances. As usual the perfume was excellent with one person at work asking
If I was wearing la Bomba & how it’s one of her favourites!
I had the original bought at Christmas and used the last bit a while ago. I saw it on here and thought I’d give it a try. Well, I’m so pleased I did! Smells exactly like the original! I love it! I have just placed an order for 3 more of my fave perfumes and can’t wait till they arrive! Will defo keep coming back when I run out! Thank you so much for your lovely perfumes! I’m addicted! 🥰🥰
Amazing experience, fast delivery and great packaging. Perfumes came amazing they last so long and have such a nice scent! Just like the real thing but for a quarter of the price.
I ordered the 5ml sample size for travelling light.
The packaging was very nice and presented like more than a sample.
It’s the perfect size to fit your purse or small bag.
I’m told it smells great, I don’t have a sense of smell any more (Covid) but I still like to smell great and I’m told this does the trick 😁
I have the original and this is exactly the same but much better longevity. Kayali fragrances last an hour so I won't be spending my money on them now I've found TEV.
Love it! Sweet and juicy. A strong fragrance just like the OG. It has a distinctive almond marzipan undertone to it, that I love with the dragonfruit notes. I know some people aren’t a fan of the OG but I think this is a winner
This is so fresh and sweet and the perfect scent for summer as it reminds me of blue skies and sunshine 🌞. It smells EXACTLY like the original for a fraction of the price! Win win!
This has become my second favourite scent from the essence vault, only topped by 444, the lemon is so gorgeous in this, almost edible, its a perfect summer feel good scent
This is my new favourite summer scent. I bought 5 x 30ml bottles with no idea how any of them would be but read the scent description and thought this sounded like a good summer edition to my collection. I have to say I'm very happy with it. I wish it lasted a little longer but the scent is beautiful.
Love the smell of this fragrance! I ordered this on a whim to try the scent as have never smelt La Bamba before. But I am far from a disappointed with the smell and notes of this perfume.
It's somewhat sweet but not over overbearing, and is strong enough to last hours on end. I would highly recommend this item!
My absolute favourite, I have the original and this perfume smells as close to the original as you can get, saves me a ton of money and I can use and enjoy my signature scent every day. Thank you for providing me with the option of enjoying my favourite perfume at a fraction of the price. Love it!!
