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.

Very good, was excited to receive the perfume. It's not my favourite scent but I purchased because it was all the hype. I'm ordering more of different types of "seductive" scents so I can try and find my favourite. I absolutely love the other two scents I ordered after. The quality of this make is brilliant 5stars

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I could not justify paying £260+ for my favourite perfume so I went with this - a little anxious. However, it is literally the same scent maybe even a bit more intense. Super long lasting and such a high quality bottle. You have found a new customer with me!

The Essence Vault fragrances are highly popular and have a fast delivery service. They are affordable and have a scent that rivals, if not surpasses, the original fragrances. The added benefit of being able to spread out payments through Klarna with no interest makes them an even better value. I highly recommend these fragrances and guarantee you will be grateful for the recommendation.

First I only ordered a sample, that already convinced me. A few days later I bought the 100ml perfume and I am more than happy, it smells like the original!
