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.

The perfume smells amazing i get so many compliments from friends and family about it smelling so good i honestly absolutely adore this perfume i had to get 6 for me and presents for people
Bought when there was a buy 1 get 1 free so got 6 for £44! Absolute bargain. Second I work shifts, after a gruelling 23 hour shift I realised I could still smell my perfume well! Cannot believe how long they last plus smell pretty much the exact same.
I’m never buying OGs again, best perfume ever!!
Love it all smells absolutely familiar.. 1 minor thing the candle cracking wick goes out when the wax melts .. but other than that I love it all definitely ordering again different scents amazing value aswell
Always loyal to The Essence Vault because they have such amazing smells and dupes for super expensive brands. They pull out all the stops to keep you smelling lux and expensive without breaking the bank! The 2 for 1 deal when you get 3 in a bundle and another bundle of 3 for free is beyond amazing too!
I am always impressed with essence vault fragrances both myself and partner have them they smell amazing and last all day, and we get so many compliments. The delivery is quick and the customer service is amazing thank you essence vault.
Had 2 lots of sample ones just to see what they are like before buying a bit bottle and I can honestly say these are incredible one happy customer will definitely be ordering more but full bottles next time
Amazing !! These are identical to the inspirations. Last all night. Unbeatable price. Fast delivery. Really enjoying building my collection. Thank you !!
These perfumes smell amazing and it would be great if all of the perfumes on the site came in the intense version. Long lasting and always get fantastic compliments
Returning customer, great product, had a problem when my order was lost in transit(not TEVfault). Contacted Alix at customer care and was so helpful, apologised and sorted it out immediately with a freebie and next day delivery. Amazing customer care along with great scent. You can buy with confidence. Again thanks Alix
I purchased the package of 3 for 44.99 which included Alien for women, Baracatt rouge 540 and the imagination not really knowing what I was getting.
Once the imagination had settled it was actually a really nice scent as were both the Alien and the Baracatt Rouge.
As I was pretty impressed I’ll definitely look at buying more different scents within the near future
Tev the best for dupe fragrance I’ll always buy from tev my favourites are Sauvage elixir very strong and sticks with you for days. Ombré nomade is my second best also strong and sticks with you for days and the price is very good for 100ml bottles lasts a long time. I will always keep buying from tev
