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.

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.

Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 55 reviews.
This is my discovery of the year. This became my signature scent on the spot. I recently ordered few more bottles of this so I never run out:) This scent is just something out of this world, it smells like absolutely nothing you ever tried before. Unique, is the right word. It has some similarity to Oud Minerale but it's softer and fresher. It's not masculine or feminine. It's a delicate, so fresh, sea like and creamy scent but it's right in the middle, perfect for anyone.
Amazing perfume.... Sea salt and fir... I first bought an example and I was so impressed that I bought a big bottle.....smells like the beach... Like the sand, like the ocean... Quality, long lasting and definitely it wort it.. I am gonna buy more of this brand. I want to try all of them...!
This smell..! I ditched my beloved coco mademoiselle since I've got sea salt & fir 🥰 absolutely fell in love with it, brings to my mind the smell of summer by the seaside! Mademoiselle was my favourite for many years but this smell completely stole my heart ❤
Will be definitely coming back for it!
Wore it on my wedding day !! Beautiful rich scent I am female so at first I was afraid it would be too masculine. Once it settles it smells fab. The fir over powers the salt. I would prefer more salt smell with fir under note. But still love this fragrance for fresh clean smell. Little spritz lasted all day. I received many compliments and made a perfect contrast to all the floral at wedding
Son un 10, fragancia intensa, duradera. Vamos un espectáculo he probado 4 y las 4 impresionantes.
La atención de la empresa otro 10, recomendable al 100%.
I don't know what perfume this is meant to be like but I was intrigued by the sea salt as I love oceanic scents. This doesn't smell like I was imagining but it's still very nice. The main thing for me is that it's vegan friendly and cruelty-free.
I have bought this and other fragrances from The Essence Vault a few times now. They are super efficient, the delivery comes really quickly and their perfumes are so good at a fraction of branded prices. I would highly recommend!
This is just a wonderful fresh scent, CANNOT get enough of it! Will definitely buy again. And yes, it's a very good interpretation of J.M. WoodSage etc... so if you're like me and have that one, this one will definitely get you excited about saving some of your hard earned cash <3 It is delightful.
Woww wat een heerlijke geur is dit! Blij mee en de geur blijft ook veel langer hangen dan bij mijn vorige dupes leverencier. Hopelijk blijven de andere geuren die heb gekocht net zo lang om mij heen..
This was a replacement for a bottle that leaked in the post! Absolutely love it! The fragrance lasts all day! Can't fault the Essence Vault for their customer service! ♥️💖🌺
