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.

I’m a customer for life, thank you so much, 100% satisfied
“I’m absolutely delighted with my fragrance, it smells beautiful, I’ve had so many comments when I wear it. Very efficient delivery, great packaging and amazing value.”
This has fast become my favourite scent, I spray it around the house and everyone asks what's the smell in the house, it's amazing. I even spray it in our rental accommodation and everyone that has stayed has asked what it is and where can they buy it!!
I love love love this
My 3rd bottle of this and i love it i always get stopped when wearing this its my fav it lasts i work as cabin crew and passengers always stop me ask what im wearing they love it when i walk past it lasts and lasts
I really like this scent was a bit unsure initially but it grew on me goes very nicely with vanilla oud but nice on its own too. Good longevity unique scent maybe not for everyone but for me I really like it.
I love the scents. I was gifted 2 bottles last year so I decided to get some for myself this year.
I don't want to say anything negative and my only advice is, do better at communicating with your customers. You're a good brand, don't let poor communication topple it.
If there's gonna be a delay in delivery, let us know. I understand you deal with a lot of orders but systems can be created to handle this. Great job 👏🏾
Best regards,
John
This fragrance was a genuine surprise for me — in the very best sense of the word. I did not expect a scent that seems so sweet and rich at first to unfold so harmoniously on my skin and in my hair. It is not cloying, which is extremely important to me, never vulgar, soft yet full of character.
Notes of oud wood and vanilla intertwine with passion fruit like a light aromatic veil — shimmering, gradually evolving, and finally revealing delicate floral nuances on the exhale. I would recommend this perfume to women who usually avoid overly sweet fragrances, but are curious to explore sweet, balanced, sun-lit scents with elegance and depth.
Fell in love with this company amazing lingering scents , people comment wow you smell gorgeous when I am outside definitely will be a regular customer 😊😍
I was taken back by how powerful the scent was. A little definitely goes a long way with this scent. It’s like this passion fruit , fruity yet woody. It’s a really nice unisex scent
I put this on first thing in the morning after a shower and my wife can still submit it on me when we wake up. It’s thestrongest of all the smells that I’ve brought from Essence Vault
Hi Essence Vault Team
I’ve been a customer since my first order, and I have to say the improvement has been night and day. After a bad experience with two other perfumes, everything I’ve received from you has been superb in quality, scent, and longevity.
I’m a Google Local Guide with over 7.7 million views across my reviews on food, nature, and lifestyle content. I’m now expanding into fragrance reviews and would love to feature and honestly promote Essence Vault to my audience.
So far, your product and service have been excellent, and I’ve already recommended you to many people here in Denmark.
If you’re open to a partnership, please email me as you have it on file.
I’d love to discuss how we can collaborate on reviews, content, and promotion.
Thanks in advance, and I’m looking forward to ordering more from Essence Vault soon.
Kind regards,
M.G.A
