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.

Antoinette K. 5/5 Verified

Customer photo review of Inspired by Virgin Island Water - 51

Don’t normally share my opinions on perfume, nor would I usually buy one without smelling it in person first…but I needed a third large bottle to make up my three, so bought this based on the description. It.is.incredible. Right out the bottle I wasn’t keen, but actually on? So lovely! Smells like vanilla, coconut and warm tropical days. Like a pina colada on a private beach. This will be my new daily!

Mathias S. 5/5

This is holidays in a body a definite summer scent it's gorgeous it's one of my favourites

Laura R. 5/5 Verified

I liked this immediately. Bought it along wth Gypsy water. Strangely I liked this more than the GW but as the day went on I realised I was more drawn to the GW. This is still a lovely beachy type scent with a slight coconut cocktail aroma. Good for a day out or evening date.

Alison D. 4/5 Verified

Literally smells like a bottle of holiday !! Love this scent great for summer and lasts the whole day very happy with purchase will be ordering more

Carrie S. 5/5 Verified

This is summer in a bottle it's gorgeous it's lemon,vanilla and a hint of coconut it's such a nose f##k but in the best way it's clean but sexy I can't describe it but if you like Seychelles or kayali capri you will like this,I instantly think holidays and I want a drink in some kind of fruit,it was a blind buy and I don't regret it,its definitely a summer scent I'll be buying a bigger bottle for sure

Laura R. 5/5 Verified

Brought as a present for son & he said it lasts longer than the original 👍🏼

Kieran C. 5/5 Verified

I bought the sample size to try. It is nice but not my preference. The sample is a great way of trying before spending more. I will use tge sample to freshen upon my flight or when travelling Great customer service as always. Fantastic scents at great price. Thank you .

Marrianne M. 4/5 Verified

Great deal, smells lovely, lasts all day, very impressed and will use again.

Paul C. 5/5 Verified

I love this fragrance. It smells so fresh and clean, it makes me feel uplifted when I'm wearing it. It starts off very limey then it softens into a coconut/lime, warm kind of smell. Perfect for summer days.

Emma R. 5/5 Verified

Love the summer smells, lasts well and doesn’t go too sweet on me.

Lisa P. 5/5 Verified

Richtig toller Duft, riecht wie das original hatte es im direkten Vergleich. Leider ist die Haltbarkeit nicht ganz so lange, deshalb nur 4 Sterne. Aber Preis Leistung ist Top und ich würde jederzeit wieder bestellen.

Alexandra M. 4/5 Verified

Such a beautiful scent! I’m impressed at how long the fragrance lasts too! I ordered a sample bottle to try it out and love it so much that I have ordered a 100ml bottle. I get lots of compliments when I wear this beautiful fragrance. I’m new to The Essence Vault and I am excited to try out more products.

Mrs S. 5/5 Verified

What a fabulous company to deal with. Number 51 ( Virgin island water ) is my all time favourite & lasts all day ♥️

Rachael B. 5/5 Verified

I love this perfume, it makes me think I’m on holiday

Helen Z. 5/5 Verified

It's really an interesting and very inspiring scent. I think it's wonderful because it somehow takes me to a nice beach in the caribbean on a warm summers day in the evening. I'm imagining myself sitting on a sunbed on the beach with many other people just having a great time with a nice tropical drink in my hand, while listening to the swaying palm trees and the lapping of the waves. That's what this scent does for me, so yes...it's right up there among my top ten 👍😁
