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.

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 love essence vault, I live for variety, but my budget definitely wouldn't spread to this level of variety.
Bberry for her is such a fresh and fruity fragrance, I love it!
This is the scent I never knew I needed. As a child I loved strawberry scented perfumes. But since then the only fruity scent has been plain strawberry, until now. This is so sweet but still not childish, just pure softness in a scent. I have bought many perfumes from the essence vault; 444, 12, 42, 990, 998. But this is probably my favourite one so far!!! I would love to make it my signature scent 😍😍
Love this perfume. At first it doesn’t smell like it, it’s a bit sweeter. But as the day goes on you can really smell the resemblance plus it lasts all day!
Love the smell!! I got 3*100ml for €27 on sale pretty steal deal. This one is my favourite out of the three. I had an issue with missing items but the support team was really quick and helpful in sorting that out for me.
The redeeming factor. I like it, it smells similar although not a perfect match. I ordered a bigger size. I only liked this one out of 4 5ml bottles. Shame though. That’s at least £15
I love t.e.v,lovely fragrance, I have the OG, and sprayed TEV’s on my right wrist and the OG on my left I found it to smell almost identical. The OG is stronger and less longer but for the price very good fragrance
This is my absolute favourite of all my Essence Vault perfumes. I've bought this 3 times already. The smell is divine. I sometimes add a touch of Raspberry Ripple to it and the mix of the two is amazing. Definitely a 10/10
First bottle that was sent out got lost/stolen by Evri (still not sure why companies use Evri)
But second bottle arrived within 48 hours, could have even been 24 hours.
Smells great, it’s the second bottle I have purchased and I can’t tell the difference between this and the original.
Lovely but just doesn’t have the long lasting effect as the real one. It’s great for work and the smell is amazing. The real one smells slightly more fruitier as well. Defo would buy again as it is nice and does last a while.
I bought this as a friend had it and I loved it.
Now every time I wear it someone comments on how lovely it smells!
Im delighted with it . It lasts all day and the great value price means I can wear it every day and not worry about the cost of replacing it.
Im converted to Essence Vault!
