Frequently Asked Questions

Expertly blended in the UK. Unbeatable longevity. No designer markups.

Very close - close enough that Metro said: "We seriously couldn't tell the difference between this and the real deal."

We build each fragrance around the same scent profile as the original: the same opening notes, the same dry down, the same character.

We're not affiliated with the designer brands we reference, but we list our inspirations clearly on every product so you know exactly what you're getting before you order.

Every fragrance in our range is a true Eau De Parfum, formulated with high-quality fragrance oils. If you want stronger projection or longer wear, our Intense range uses an even higher oil concentration — you'll notice the difference in the first hour on skin.

Most of our fragrances last 8–12 hours, though this varies depending on your skin type, how you apply it, and the environment.

Dry skin tends to absorb fragrance faster - if that's you, applying to pulse points right after a shower (when pores are open) makes a noticeable difference. Our Intense range is formulated for stronger projection and longer wear if longevity is your priority.

Designer prices cover a lot more than what's inside the bottle - celebrity campaigns, luxury retail margins, and packaging that costs more to produce than the fragrance itself.

We skip all of that. Every pound goes into the formula: high-quality fragrance oils, UK manufacturing, and getting the scent right. That's why a 100ml bottle costs £24.99 instead of £120 or more.

Yes. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all orders.

We know buying fragrance online carries some risk - you can't smell it before it arrives. So give it a few wears, see how it settles on your skin, and if it's not right for you, return the bottle for a full refund. No awkward questions.

Yes, absolutely!

One of the more frustrating things about expensive fragrance is rationing it - saving the bottle for occasions that feel worthy of the price. At £4.99 a bottle, that calculation disappears. Wear what you like, when you like, without thinking twice about it.

Yes. Every product we make is 100% vegan - no animal-derived ingredients - and cruelty-free at every stage of production.

Presence. Our core range is an Eau de Parfum blended at 20-25% fragrance oil, which gives most people 6 to 8 hours of wear. The Intense Collection is built to last longer, project further and carry deeper base notes, with 8 hours or more typical on skin.

Intense starts at £7.95 against £4.99 for the core range, so it comes down to how much the extra wear and presence matter to you.

Intense versions are available for most of our popular scents. Look for the black Intense label on the product page.

That's more common than you'd think. Two options depending on how you want to approach it.

Our Scent Finder Quiz asks about your occasions and the kinds of scents you already like, then recommends profiles that suit you — good if you want a quick steer.

If you'd rather try before you commit, our Discovery Set is the better route: 20 x 5ml samples for £44.99 (down from £100), available in For Him, For Her, or Unisex. Once you've found your favourites, you get an exclusive 20% discount code to put towards a 3x100ml bundle - bringing it down to £35.99 - that's £12 per 100ml bottle!

UK orders arrive in 2–3 business days with standard delivery, or 1–2 business days with express via Royal Mail. You'll get a tracking number by email as soon as your order is dispatched.

We also ship to Ireland, the EU, and the US — delivery times and costs vary by country and are shown at checkout.

The Essence Vault Guarantee

At The Essence Vault, we believe in fragrances that make you feel amazing. That's why we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee—so you can shop with confidence.

If you're not completely in love with your scent, simply return it within 30 days for a full refund. No hassle, no stress—just a promise that you'll find a fragrance you truly adore.

Fell in love at the first second! You can feel the juniper, but at the same time they are sweetish and a little berry-like. It's quite a vintage scent to me. And they are also very durable!

Customer photo review of Inspired by Midnight Musk & Amber - 821

I usually buy scents that are designed inspired but decided to try one of their own and I was not disappointed. Get so many compliments when I wear it and people always asking what I’m wearing and where I bought it. Of course I always say essence vault!!

Customer photo review of Inspired by Midnight Musk & Amber - 821

100% very impressed with how surprisingly good this fragrance is. It is very much a unisex vibe as the musky undertones of a fresh spray eventually dries as a smooth silky fresh smell. 3 hours later and I could still smell it almost as strong as it was when I first sprayed it. Really really happy with 821!

Inspired by Midnight Musk & Amber - 821

I love woody musk scents and 821 has captured that, the scent is so captivating, passers by have asked what I was wearing. Thankyou Connor love the scent.

Inspired by Midnight Musk & Amber - 821

i always liked musk in scents, and this one is for me very good. this combo of scent profile is very 'clean' i would say. it gives that fresh feeling that follows you through the day. i like it and i will most likely buy it again.

Inspired by Midnight Musk & Amber - 821

This perfume is wonderful. The clean and smart smell is loved by everyone who passes by my side. I will definitely buy it again.

Inspired by Midnight Musk & Amber - 821

The perfume is absolutely gorgeous, my perfect scent. Not sure if it lasts as long as I’d like but if I could still smell it a few hours later, I would buy more.

Inspired by Midnight Musk & Amber - 821

Absolutely love the fragrance 821. The combination of Amber and Musk is just lovely. Very warm and sensuous. I wear it every day. I bought a sample then immediately purchased a larger one. Also bought one for a friend after they fell in love with it to.

Inspired by Midnight Musk & Amber - 821

I love this scent. I ordered the trial bundle because I wasn't sure what to order. Now I believe I'll order all of them.

Inspired by Midnight Musk & Amber - 821

So good I purchased 3 more. One each for my family and friends who loved it enough to ask what was the scent I was wearing?! I could afford to be generous with the offer on 3 bottles. Thank you team TEV

Inspired by Midnight Musk & Amber - 821

Absolutely love this. Ordered after trying a few samples to find something a little muskier than my normal. It’s perfect. Great service too

Inspired by Midnight Musk & Amber - 821

Grt Product s would highly recommend. Also do 5ml spray handbag size . Which I love and gave me a chance to try different perfume scents. Lovely packaging, very reasonable price and while we are in a recession I feel it let's you not miss out on a personal treat, when the luxury item s are the first thing to go in a monthly budget. Can praise this company enough. Extremely impressed with there website and marketing team. The perfume on site sell themselves as they are beautiful ,elegant ,luxury ,scent last throughout the day with minimal applications. Thank you to ur whole team for a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Inspired by Midnight Musk & Amber - 821

Ooh this may become my signature scent I adore this one. Again I got a small bottle so I'll have to buy the bigger one soon as it already has a sizeable dent in it.
