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.
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!
“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’m a customer for life, thank you so much, 100% satisfied
“I’m absolutely delighted with my fragrance, it smells beautiful, I’ve had so many comments when I wear it. Very efficient delivery, great packaging and amazing value.”
Ordered 3 perfumes. And they smell amazing. I’ll put it on in the morning and in the evening I still get complements. Will def order more when these are finished
It's a fragrance that grows the longer you have it on. It's very long lasting and you know it's there. I've gotten a lot of compliments about it and I'll be ordering more. Seriously good fragrance.
Never tried the original spicebomb, but can confirm this scent is excellent! Utterly unbeatable at this price, and lasts for many hours. More fruity than I was expecting but that’s not a bad thing. Will be trying more from the range. Plus the Essence Vault doesn’t bombard you with emails! Many thanks!
I put some of it on my left arm and some of the original Spice Bomb on my right. Even after a few hours it was difficult to tell the difference. So I guess that's a definite win
Amazing fragrance, and again just as the Original, i can't notice any difference, its my favourite 👍 the Mrs has now decided to check out the Essence Vault collection, Happy Wife happy life👍
Amazing as always! Very quickly became a regular of the essance vault! Thought I'd give this one a try as it is one of my all time favourite fragrance and I can't tell the difference to the original at all! Super long lasting!
Would definitely recommend ESSENCES VAULT to my friends and family the spice bomb 211 is not to bad its one of them you ether like it or you don't personally am 50/50 on this one.
Love it. The top fragrance for winter, cuts through the cold and makes a statement. Spray on the usual areas plus 2 on your collar and you've got 6-7 hrs here.
I've never owned the original Spicebomb but decided to try the Essence Vault's take on it and I can honestly say it's amazing.
Very different from everything else in my collection and long lasting as well as a compliment getter.
Had never tried spice bomb before or smelled the real article but had read the reviews and thought I'll give it a go. Superb fragrance. Nice and fresh. Long lasting. I've had a few folk in the pub and at work ask me what it was and they seemed to love it aswell. Will buy again 👌👍👍
Lovely smell, very romantic smell that people have said to me you smell nice! Not as long lasting as would of hoped but the smell is divine
Defo worth the money
Delighted with my new scents really do last all day have tried all 3 I have purchased now they smell great 197,211 & my fave 926 will definitely be buying again highly recommended. 10/10
Ein sehr angenehmer und langanhaltender männlicher Duft, der weder zu aufdringlich noch zu schnell verschwindet. Man muss auch nur ganz ganz wenig verwenden - 1 kräftiger Sprüher ist völlig ausreichend, was es noch preiswerter macht. Alles in allem ein sehr hochwertiges Produkt bei dem das Preis- Leistungs- Wohlfühlverhältnis vollkommen stimmig ist. Werde auf Grund dieser ersten Erfahrung auch noch einen Frauenduft testen.
Bought for hubby, he likes it & so do I - its a lovely fragrance. Don't know how close it is to original as have never purchased it, but this is lovely!👍🏻
