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.

Customer photo review of Inspired By La Bomba - 9

This is a beautiful perfume! I haven’t actually tried La Bomba so cannot compare but this perfume has been so well complimented. It lasts really well and once settled it smells amazing. It’s not too sweet or fruity just the right amount of each. I purchased the 30ml to try, I will definitely be purchasing the bigger bottle.

Customer photo review of Inspired By La Bomba - 9

excellent—rich, long-lasting, and smells far more expensive than it costs. A fantastic fragrance with great value for money.

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

Identical to the real thing - I bought it based on reviews of this fragrance but also on past purchases of other fragrances. As usual the perfume was excellent with one person at work asking If I was wearing la Bomba & how it’s one of her favourites!

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

I had the original bought at Christmas and used the last bit a while ago. I saw it on here and thought I’d give it a try. Well, I’m so pleased I did! Smells exactly like the original! I love it! I have just placed an order for 3 more of my fave perfumes and can’t wait till they arrive! Will defo keep coming back when I run out! Thank you so much for your lovely perfumes! I’m addicted! 🥰🥰

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

Amazing experience, fast delivery and great packaging. Perfumes came amazing they last so long and have such a nice scent! Just like the real thing but for a quarter of the price.

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

I ordered the 5ml sample size for travelling light. The packaging was very nice and presented like more than a sample. It’s the perfect size to fit your purse or small bag. I’m told it smells great, I don’t have a sense of smell any more (Covid) but I still like to smell great and I’m told this does the trick 😁

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

One of the only ones I actually own the original of and I genuinely can’t tell the difference side by side. 1000% buying a full bottle at some point!

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

Love it! Sweet and juicy. A strong fragrance just like the OG. It has a distinctive almond marzipan undertone to it, that I love with the dragonfruit notes. I know some people aren’t a fan of the OG but I think this is a winner

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

Love the smell of this fragrance! I ordered this on a whim to try the scent as have never smelt La Bamba before. But I am far from a disappointed with the smell and notes of this perfume. It's somewhat sweet but not over overbearing, and is strong enough to last hours on end. I would highly recommend this item!

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

My absolute favourite, I have the original and this perfume smells as close to the original as you can get, saves me a ton of money and I can use and enjoy my signature scent every day. Thank you for providing me with the option of enjoying my favourite perfume at a fraction of the price. Love it!!

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

Absolutely lovely scent, smells exactly like the original, this is now my signature scent and I will be forever repurchasing it whenever I run out :)

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

I had the original perfume bought for me as a gift , this is absolutely the ditto of it and a fraction of the price , always complimented when I’m wearing it it , definitely my favourite so far❤️

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

I've smelt the original and it's just like it it also last all day, could even smell it on my clothes for a few days after. X

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

The good lady likes this fragrance as it has a nice presence without being overwhelming, (her words!), also texture is velvety and lays onto skin nicely with a lasting fragrance. That's good enough for me!..

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

Great value for 100ml! Smells like the real deal once you let it set on your skin after a minute or so!

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

Absolutely love it ! I have the original & this is exactly the same, fragrance lasts all day too for a fraction of the price ! Win, win !

Love this! One of the nicest and longest lasting scents I have tried from the essence vault. Have had lots of compliments and will definitely buy this one again.

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

Wow! So I saw this on Essence Vault but hadn’t tried the original. I was travelling to Copenhagen to visit family so had a spray in the airport and loved it, ordered the EV one straight away and it smells exactly the same, such a beautiful and unusual fragrance, like nothing I’ve owned before. I love it so much I ordered another bottle and my bestie has also ordered one because she loves how it smells on me. Thanks Essence Vault, I’m obsessed with you ♥️

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

This was sent as a complimentary sample and i absolutely loved it! Gorgeous scent lasted all day

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

Just amazing quality, smells amazing I get a lot of compliments when I’m wearing it. Great value for money.

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

Next to Baccarat Rouge, now my favourite scent. Long lasting, really different on me, strong yet not cloying. Really strong scents give me nauseating headache but La Bomba doesnt. I’m just not very keen in the name!

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

Deze lucht vind ik geweldig. Hij blijft beter hangen dan de originele. Fantastisch!!

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

At first I thought it was a bit off the original but still nice however, after wearing it the first day so many colleagues and even customers asked what perfume I had so I knew it smelt like the original more than i because I get the same reaction. The perfume is very strong like the original and long lasting 😍

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

Not as long lasting as the original but for the price, it's excellent !!!

Inspired By La Bomba - 9

Smells Amazing! I'm not sure how identical it is to the original because its so expensive, but i love it so much. Great price too. Will definitely buy more fragrances to see how they compare.
