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.

Lovely as always! I’ve lost count of the quantity of bottles Ive gotten from TEV, and you know its only the best when i keep coming back for more!
This is my second time buying this fragrance and I just keep falling In love again and again. It's a definite hit for me, a day does not go by without my colleagues complimenting my 'scent',it's just wonderful!
2e keer dat ik besteld heb, stelt weer niet teleur. Netjes afgeleverd, en weer heerlijke parfums. Op naar de volgende, heb mijn verlanglijstje al weer klaar!
I’ve got quite the collection now, love the testers just to make sure I like something before I buy a bigger bottle.
Who knew I’d really like smelling like a coffee break at the moment ( 930 I recommend ) 👍🏻
Absolutely love this new fragrance, after reading description I had to try it . It reminds me of a lighter ‘Angel’ fragrance. Definetely like a warm hug on a cold day, very autumnal scent….
when i ordered this one, i kind of expected it to be much sweeter (and i was not sure if i would like it), but from the scent profile i hoped it will not be overpoweringly sweet and i am glad my expectations were met. it smells (at least to me) very refreshing, it lasts long, and it makes me feel like i can breathe deeper. this is scent, i would say, for everyday use or at least when you want to feel more refreshed. i would recommend this one to anyone that asks me. on my 'purchase again' list.
Bought first one as a present. Son loved it so much have had to order more!
Essence vault perfumes are brilliant. I’m always getting compliments when I wear mine.
I ordered this in a mini spray just to try it and I really like it! It is great for carrying in my bag and I love the scent. Very impressed with how long it lasts.
A very nice comfortable calm sofisticated smell, not too loud and not too strong. You can easily mix this with a vanilla tone or a Smokey or woody fragrance. Easily one of my favorites.
Anew one for me after taking your what would suit me thing.not mad about it but it is good for every daysquirts around the house,it,s always good to try something new and your choice not too far off.
A clean, soft fragrance with a strong lavender note.
Despite the name, I didn’t detect any coffee or creamy notes at all. Instead, it oddly reminds me of scents from the 1990s, though it’s hard to pinpoint exactly why.
It does smell pleasant, but it isn’t something I would personally enjoy wearing as a perfume.
That said, the return and exchange process was easy, fast, and well handled. I’m very impressed with the customer service and flexibility. If you purchase a scent and find it’s not for you, I would definitely recommend exchanging it, as TEV produces good quality fragrances.
Although this fragrance isn’t to my personal taste, the quality and longevity are excellent, which is why I still rate it 5 stars.
Stunning scent, truly unisex- on passing smell it’s warm, almost vanilla-ish, up close it’s more masculine, woody. I don’t usually do reviews, but this smells incredible, and it’s so addictive. When I catch wafts of it I genuinely want to inhale deeply the areas I’ve sprayed it. So cozy, sexy, and androgynous. Will definitely be buying this again!!
