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.

Now have 12 bottles in my collection , really love them.
Was intrigued to try the sample as I really like the scent and taste of anything peach. Will definitely be purchasing a full size bottle, not as bitter as I thought it would be (in a positive way).
This perfume “wow” 😬😬😬😬 it’s the real deal I have got so many compliments when wearing it I had to buy another two bottles.
Don’t miss out buy today …… you will not be disappointed
So long lasting, sweet and fresh but with a spicy deepness if that makes sense.
Usually I like oud based scents but I make a huge exception for this one.
I'll be buying the larger sized bottle next time!
Stunning fragrance ...have used this daily since purchasing and I am not disappointed! Get lots of compliments when out and about from people asking what fragrance it is! Thanks Essence Vault, another fabulous fragrance added to my growing collection 😁
This really captures the smell of what it is selling. I sprayed this on in the afternoon. I then took my dog for a walk for over an hour. It's now after midnight and I can still smell it. It's so well put together and to last that long and not be overpowering is a great thing to have in a scent. Great job. I cannot wait to buy more.
Its a beautiful, soft, fluffy, luxurious scent, very moreish. Haz boozy salty-sweet and umami kind of notes too i think and it just makes it even more exciting and very complex. It is like the real thing! Very very cheeky and sassy scent too, both for males and females.
Its a very beautiful, complex, gourmand sweet but not simple at all scent. Its like the real thing. Very strong, very cheeky but also soft and fluffy with boozy and umami like undertones which makes it outstanding. One of the BEST scents out there.
What an amazing smell! I’ve been waiting for this to be on the site and as soon as I got the email I bought straight away! Smells exactly like the real one. Great value for money! I’ll be ordering more in the future!!
Chefs kiss on this one essence vault!! Smells exact!! I have had so many compliments when wearing this.
Its a peachy delight and for just over £11 delivered as part of the 3 100ml deal it is a no brainer.
Smells expensive for not a lot of money.
This is such a beautifully complex and classy scent, this will be a repeat purchase for sure!!!
Bitter Peach - 948 is one word, "FIRE!" It's very sweet and great for all seasons. It has great intensity and it a wonderful blind buy! I would recommend and I absolutely love it!
Bought a few 5ml to try out a few.
The bitter peach to me wasnt great when first applied but once it settles its brilliant, its got staying power too even 6, 7 ,8 hours later It was still going strong.
Im not sure how this would compare to the original it was inspired from but its definitely worth a try.
This will become my go to.
The scent is amazing,but 2 of my 3 sample sprays are faulty the perfume leaks out over your fingers then the spray doesn't work is annoying and off putting
Never smelt the original so cannot compare to that. It’s quite a strong fragrance and I cannot decide if it’s love or hate! It’s addictive in a way I cannot help but keep going back to have a sniff. It has a nostalgic feel that is very more ish. My husband commented straight away at how nice I smelt the first time I wore it (which has only been once so far). I think because it's quite a strong fragrance I need to try again using less as I think that might be the key to me loving it.
