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.

Had so many compliments and they last so long!

Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 53 reviews.
This was an accidental grab because I thought I had clicked another scent!. Funny enough I was devastated at first but this scent is actually intoxicating!!. Will purchase again forever quiet frankly so please never discontinue. It's sweet and creamy but also minty fresh which is a combination I wouldn't run to usually but love so much!!. I dont care for seasonal scents so to speak because I wear what I like year round but if I had to say, I would say this is a perfect winter/ Christmas sweet scent for sure!. All a big one for compliments too and I think its because it's such a unique scent.
877 is a winner for me. I like to show people my purchases and while it didn't grab everyone instantly, it got huge approval on the dry down. It reminds me of a holiday scent and makes me think of being on an all inclusive somewhere hot. It's amazing what smells can do! It's not a powerhouse performer though, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect to reapply at least once throughout the day.
This Parfüm was just the perfect gift for my sister. She was actually the one who introduced me to the website. You guys do have the best Parfumes I just love it and it smeled just like the vanilla Parfüms she wanted. My sister has bought more on Black Friday and it amazingly overwhelmed and satisfied. Thank you
Purchased this along with Tonka and Myrrh and both are beautiful. I paid nearly £100 for JM Tonka and Myrrh for my daughter at Christmas and The Essence Vault take on this is spot on. Incredible price and incredible quality. If you love high end scents but cannot justify the high end price, I recommend purchasing from The Essence Vault. I intend to purchase at least one bottle a month, starting today.
The aftershave was great, I didn't receive the order at first, because Evri had lost it in transit. I was told you would send me another which didn't arrive. I've no doubt you had sent it. Probably got lost by Evri again
In-between these events the person who had received it by mistake, delivered it to my house.
The previous order of 3 bottles of aftershave, were delivered to the wrong house, which I tracked down and retrieved it.
So although you have a great product, I probably will not be ordering from you again, because, after failing to deliver my order, I can't trust Evri to deliver it securely to me.
Absolutely no response from Evri, when I complained
I absolutely love this perfume. It’s one of those scents I didn’t even realise existed, yet somehow it feels exactly like something I’ve been searching for for a long time. From the first spray it just felt right — unique, comforting, and beautifully balanced.
It has a really special quality that stands out from other perfumes I’ve tried. The scent lingers nicely without being overpowering, and I keep catching little hints of it throughout the day which I love.
Really great fragrances and they last forever. Quick delivery too. Only thing i can think of that could be improved is 2 out of the 4 fragrances i bought didnt have lids for them.
This one smells lovely! The sample is lasting me a while and I'll definitely be getting a bigger bottle when it's done. A spritz behind one ear lasts me all day.
This perfume has a light, breezy scent that feels fresh and easy to wear at any time of the day. It’s perfect for everyday use and offers great value for money. A lovely choice if you’re looking for something simple, clean, and versatile.
I bought this as I loved it when I smelt it on my daughter in law. Unfortunately it doesn't smell the same on me. Nevertheless it still smells amazing.
