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.

I love ghost perfumes anyway but needed a more affordable option, I’ve always loved the essence vault when buying for friends and family and wanted to buy some more for myself. It’s always long lasting and smells exactly like the real version :)
Wow! I ordered two, one for myself and one for a friend. Different fragrances, I didn't take a note of which one was which, but I didn't need to know I could smell it before I even opened it!! If I didn't know, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this and the original! I'm super happy and will definitely be ordering again.
Ordered this sample to see if this too smells like one of my favourite perfumes & yes yet again exactly like the original 👍🏻😁so will definitely be purchasing 👍🏻 as always delivery was brilliant too🤩
Absolutely love this perfume. It smells exactly like the original and genuinely lasts all day! Even the original would wear off before the end of my shift. Great price and great delivery times. I love it ❤️❤️
Obsessed...I keep spraying this on myself all day (though the scent lingers for a while anyway!). I can't recall if it smells exactly like Ghost but it definitely is similar/heavily inspired. Next purchase will be the 100ml of this. Would be great to have an Intense version too!
I absolutely love this scent. It smells amazing and doesn’t fade and the prices are great. I will definitely buy and recommend you guys and your products. Thank you.
I’m so happy this scent was available as I loved this years ago. Love how I can get a small bottle of it so I could make sure it was as nice as I remembered before buying a bigger bottle.
I did a test spray of this to see how it smelt. Wife loved it and kept asking about it. The scent lingered all day and was still strong at bed time, she is very happy with the order we placed and we will definitely be using again!
You would never know that is was not the branded fragrance and a fraction of the price ,which is brilliant definitely be purchasing more fragrances in the future.
Absolutely Luv it. But I tend to luv. Them all. I do like a change. Depends, on my mood. I'm gonna keep, going down the list. At these prices, I can well afford to. TG. All ur Perfumes, are exactly the same, as original,s So depends on the mood. I know, which to choose. Well done, TEV. Never let me down, so far. Tks, from my Family.
Omg I had not tried this one before and whilst the initial spray is strong and slightly over powering, trust me that it then settles quickly, lasts all day and I honestly get so many lovely comments saying how good it smells. People recognise the smell too from the original Ghost.
Love the 'Ghost' replica but the 'Angel' is definitely not for me. But it's not gone to waste as my Grandaughter loves it so I have given it to her. One happy Grandaughter 🥰
People that know the smell of GHOST aways comment and say they buy GHOST and are amazed when I tell them that it isn't actually GHOST. I tell them t look you up on the Internet and saved themselves a lot of money. That proves just how good your perfumes are.
