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.
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.

These perfumes smell just like the real thing
“Trust me when I say these perfumes smell just like the real thing. They also last a very long time - one spray in the morning, and I can still smell it at bedtime! I 100% recommend them!”

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!”

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.”
I have tried all the samples except one, number 82 because the spray wouldn’t work. I didn’t particularly like 444 or 540. 144 was lovely but didn’t last very long, however 999 was rich and sweet and lasted all day.
As this was a requested gift I haven’t tried the fragrances.
I was a bit disappointed in the presentation of the samples as the men’s and ladies fragrances were mixed up in three boxes so I had to split them as best I could.Would have liked them each in a presentation box.
Will do a further review on the fragrances when they’ve tried them.
bought His and Her starter collection kit (6 x 5ml).
Very disappointed with presentation, all 12 samples sent in 3 boxes ( 4 in each). Expected each to be in its own presentation box.
Not ideal as both were gifts.

Very good fragances and excellent choice regarding the questions before round about my favorite.
I wondered how intensive and how long you could smell it.
In my opinion its a very good quality and high performance in every parfume.
I'll buy evertime here.
Thanks guys
Greetings from munich✌️
So pleased with the quality of every one of these, outstanding fragrances, have submitted an order for a number of full size bottles, taking advantage of the BOGOF promotion so added bonus, thank youvso much
I've only tried 2 of the fragrances so far but I do feel they last really well and I don't have to reapply numerous times. I'm currently working through them to decide which full size I'm going to order.
Very good size tester bottles. Will have to put on every day and wear for a few days to see which one I like the best. Good lasting perfumes not too faint n not too powerful!
As previously said this was bought as a present with the kit for her so fragrances not been used yet.
They were sent in 3 mixed boxes so was disappointed how they were presented .Expected 2 kits not mixed up samples in 3 boxes.
