Frequently Asked Questions
Expertly blended in the UK. Unbeatable longevity. No designer markups.
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.
For most people, yes. You need fewer sprays for the same effect, so a bottle tends to go further despite the higher price. One or two sprays is usually enough for all-day wear.
It is the same fragrance profile as our core Eau de Parfum, with more depth and more staying power.
Most people get 8 hours or more from the Intense range on skin, compared with 6 to 8 hours from our standard Eau de Parfums. That is usually enough to carry through a full day and into the evening without reapplying. On clothes, the scent often lasts longer again.
As with any fragrance this varies with your skin type and where you apply it. Pulse points, meaning the wrists, neck and inner elbow, give the best longevity because body heat helps project the scent.
One or two is enough for most people, sometimes just one. This catches people out if they are used to applying an Eau de Toilette more liberally, because the Intense range projects further and lasts longer per spray.
Start with one, give it a few minutes to settle on your skin, then add a second if you want more presence. Over-applying is easy to do and hard to undo.
The same fragrance profile, but not identical in character. The opening is less sharp, and the heart and base notes come through more prominently from the start.
Most people describe the Intense as richer and smoother than the standard version rather than simply louder. If you already know and like the Eau de Parfum, you will recognise it immediately. It just feels more settled.
It can, if applied directly to fabric at close range. That is true of any fragrance.
We would recommend spraying onto skin rather than clothes. Pulse points on the wrists, neck and inner elbow are best, as body heat helps project the scent naturally. If you do want to spray onto clothing, hold the bottle 6 to 8 inches away to reduce the chance of residue marking the fabric.
Dark or delicate fabrics are the most susceptible.
Yes, and you can try it properly first. We know you need to wear a fragrance to tell whether it suits you, so a few test sprays are absolutely fine.
If it is not what you hoped for, return it within 30 days of delivery for a full refund or exchange. We just ask that the bottle has not been heavily used and comes back in its original packaging.
Yes. Every bottle in the Intense range is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, and blended in the UK, exactly like the rest of our range.

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 love the essence vault, have my faves that i order in large bottles but there was a few I hadn’t tried yet I wanted to see if I like so the 5mls were absolutely perfect on this occasion and now I’ve a few new faves I need to go order large bottles off. As always, smell amazing, last all day and savage price not to mention quick dispatch and delivery! What’s not to love hey
they all smell so good! some of them I recognize from before and some I have only tried now because they are bestsellers I am not disappointed. I have already ordered more samples!
Amazing quality scents... getting the multiple tester set allowed me to try some new scents... one million and good girl are amazing (fresh, fruity, kinda spicy) ... the scents last about 3 to 4 hours on skin, longer on clothing. Arrived fast as well
Great idea to sample multiple perfumes at tester rates. Found a couple of firm favourites. All the perfumes are of a really high standard, some I love, some I dislike, which is why the multiple tester offer is so amazing as it allowed me to try out new perfumes based on description.
Ordered these both my partner and I did the quick quiz. Ordered the 3 recommended. My partner then ordered savuage as it’s already on there and I went for aventus for her. So far we love every one and are deciding which ones we want in the bigger bottles. Well worth the money.
Very pleased with my sample purchase. I wanted to see if the Essence Vault could really replicate some of my favourite scents - I will definitely be ordering full sizes.
I was skeptical, but these perfumes are so rich and moving. They also last the several hours. Very impressed indeed!
I have now ordered a set of 5 30ml bottles.
My Goodness! These 4!!! Wow wow wow! I only know the original of 82 SPOT ON!! but will never buy the real one again! Defo getting all of these and another 2 fragrances that I like in the 30 or 100ml. The smell absolutely divinely expensive!!!
Heard a lot of good things so decided to try out a 3x Bundle to see if I liked anything
Got 82, 290, 565.
While I loved the 82 and 565 wasn’t a fan of the 290 (tobacco and vanilla)
Plan to order some more
😍 LOVE THESE!!! This was my first purchase from TEV and I love them. They smell amazing and last all day. I thought I would start with just the sample sizes first but will definitely be upgrading to the larger bottle’s soon.
I'm so addicted to perfume and find it so hard to choose 1. So ordering samples is great! They all smell divine! great price and lasts all day! I also ordered men's samples which also smell amazing thank you so much will definitely be ordering my perfume from use in the future.
I love purchasing the samples, great price, fragrances last well too! I often buy sample size because I like to try new fragrances without having to commit to big bottles or big prices. I will definitely keep trialing the different fragrances!
The hype is real and I am OBSESSED with The Essence Vault!!! Each scent smells almost identical to their inspiration but last so much longer and are more affordable! 753 is my absolute favourite! 100% worth it!!
Bought the 8x5ml samples just to try a few different ones before I bought a bigger bottle. They scents all last a long time when you’re out and it’s surprising how much you get out of the 5ml testers. Would definitely recommend buying these before buying the bigger bottles.
NEW CUSTOMER ALERT! Bought the testers as I had seen a lot of ads for the Essence Vault. And OH MY GOD do they smell good 😍 they're half the price of the real deal and smell virtually identical. My favourite is the vetiver and sandalwood tho!
Well my two older daughters have been using this company for a while and always on at me to give it a go. I’m a perfume junkie and when I found myself out of fragrance I thought I’d give it a try. Fed up of spending a fortune on perfume that doesn’t last and I prefer a strong scent that lingers. Not knowing how they would stay on my skin and react with my skin I opted for a bundle ( plus a few extra ones ) and then because I’m strange I made myself a chart to decide on which one to ask for, for my up and coming birthday. The only thing is, out of the 10 I ordered I’ve fallen in love with at least 5! Just as well I have lots of children ….I’ve now got 5 lovely strong scents to put on my birthday list. This I think, is a great way to see what works for you. Liking a smell is only half the requirement, the way it interacts with you personally is another thing and while I was disappointed to discover some didn’t last there were many more that did and now I’m an EV customer forever …..when you get the right ones - such value for money ! I’m happy again x
This is so amazing. I have received 8 miniatures I wish I had all of them. Like we say Can’t choose among children.. the fragrance is amazing.. haven’t been a single day when people have not told me u smell so ravishing🖤🖤 going to think about which all are the bestest to buy few 😘
I love the concept of the sample sizes! 3 of the 4 scents I picked, I really didn’t like but I found one that’s amazing! 444 is my new favorite scent…I am about to order the full size version!
