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.

These perfumes smell just like the real thing
“Trust me when I say these perfumes smell just like the real thing. They also last a very long time - one spray in the morning, and I can still smell it at bedtime! I 100% recommend them!”

It's the first one I'm using after I received my package. I can say. It last more than 8hours... On clothes it lasts longer. On key points it stays.
There are plenty of fragrances on the market. Fortunately, I know which fragrance notes I like and which suit me. This selection is a hit!!! For an affordable price, I enjoy my perfume, which smells good all day. I recommend from the bottom of my heart!!!
Fab. I’m very much happy with products which I bought from u. Because lots of people came to me to ask the perfume brands and said it is smelling since. So I recommended you for them and shared the purchasing details with them.
So well made, just like the original. Connor, thank you so much. Please make more from the TF collection. Have and will continue to recommend to people.
Absolutely love it, smells exactly like the original. I even get asked what scent it is I'm wearing. Highly recommend and will deffo be ordering again 👌
This is Fcking Fabulous!
Amazing fragrance from the Essence Vault. Having owned the original, i have difficulty finding the difference... Apart from saving a huge amount of money. Thank you Essence Vault👍💷
Smells great just as good as the real thing. And lasts just as long. Women love the smell of this. I will definitely be shopping here again. The prices are unbelievable and unbeatable. I’ve shopped here twice now and both times I’ve been well happy. I have recommended this store to a few of my friends who usually buy expensive aftershave they couldn’t believe how good they actually were. Now they shop here. And save £100s of pounds. Give them a try you will definitely be happy. I promise you that. Cheers 🥂 Guys.
Smells incredible , very close to the original and in my opinion, much better out of the two. Projection is fantastic as is longevity. A really nice skin scent too especially on the dry down
At first I didn't know what think. I have purchased products before with the same strapline as the Essence Vault, but I gave it a chance and I'm so glad I did. The fragrance is amazing and genuinely does smell like the real thing. The one thing that has always let me down is the longevity of the fragrance. The one I purchased from here lasts all day and I got a ton of compliments!. I have already planned the next two purchases from the Essence Vault. Seriously well done!!
The aftershave from the essence vault are absolutely spot on
I love the quality
They last the whole day and night
I'll definitely be buying again from them
Thank you
Bought as a gift - the recipient loved it. The fragrance is leather and powdery so the description was accurate! Not one for me but my daughter loved it
Seriously impressed both with the quality and the price, would highly recommend. Did a bit of ChatGPT research after I bought them, well worth a look as it appears this brand is one of the best on the market.
The reason I keep buying this product is because it's indistinguishable from the real thing. Lots of love from me and the Mrs. You guys have absolutely nailed it.
