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.

Lots of compliments on my smell. Just wish the bottles were labeled with the actual names of the perfume
As you can see.. its well used already ! My go too scent ! Ive put so many people onto essence vault and they love their perfumes as much as I do! Thankyou TEV ❤️
This is honestly one of the most beautiful perfumes I’ve ever worn. It smells sweet, elegant, and very feminine without feeling cheap or overpowering. The vanilla and praline give it a warm, comforting vibe, while the floral notes keep it classy and soft.
What I love the most is how long it lasts — I can still smell it on my clothes hours later, and I always get compliments when I wear it. It’s the kind of perfume that makes you feel confident and put together instantly.
It’s perfect for both everyday wear and special occasions. If you like sweet, rich, and luxurious scents, this is definitely a must-have.
I’ve tried several different perfumes from you and I now have my 2 favourites, 31 and 144. Get compliments on both perfumes and the smell lasts all day😀
This is one of my best perfumes so far 💖. I get loads of compliments each time I wear this perfume,it gives me that expensive feeling 🤏. This is so unbelievable. The scent stays all day long and for few more days. I highly recommend it. My top 3 perfumes are 144, 461 and 770. This is my second refill now.😊
Lovely feminine fragrance, delicate and clean smell. The florals aren't too dominant or overpowering like they can be. Not familiar with the perfume this is inspired by so cannot comment on the likeness but a lovely perfume in it's own right.
this perfume is everything!!! it lasts all day long, sometimes i’ll come back to my clothes that i wore with this perfume after it’s been washed and not worn for a couple weeks and it still smells like it! out of all the expensive designer perfumes i’ve bought this is by far the best and longest lasting one, the smell is so amazing it smells gorgeous, i’ve gotten multiple compliments on how good it smells, i will 100% be reordering this once its run out!!!
One empty and one full to prove this is a must have repurchase if you enjoy this scent or just love sweet scents in general. I've had crazy complements and everyone always knows exactly what scent it is. It lasts for hours, projects beautifully and this has to be my 5th maybe 6th bottle at this point!. It will continue to be a stable for me and forever repurchase.
Thanks so much, I don't know how you do it but I appreciate the value for money and affordability on beautiful scents. Especially as a mom of two with bigger priorities than crazy expensive fancy bottles! Not having to sacrifice to smell nice is one way to make you feel good!
I've not smelt the original but this one is lovely. It's a fresh, floral scent with a hint of citrus. Perfect as an everyday but also smells expensive enough to wear on an evening out.
I ordered 3 perfumes no.3, no.81 and no.144. I ordered these yesterday and they have come today. I am absolutely amazed. I did a blind smell test to see if I could guess which one was which and I got them all right I can not believe how amazing they are and they smell beautiful. The packaging is really nice and clean looking too, just overall really satisfied and now I have my three favourite perfume for a fraction of the price. I will definitely be ordering again. Thank you so much Essence vault x o x o
