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.

I've been searching for a lime scented perfume for ages and that's what initially brought me to this site, this perfume is gorgeous and grown up. Initially you get a lot of basil, but it softens quickly, then there's a lovely fresh zingy sweet but earthy lime and orange smell. It lasts very well too. Bright and sophisticated. Another great lime scent on this site is lime and mango 143- its very different to this one, its more fin and summery, but it still has the lime zest smell.

Love this fragrance! Lasts all day and I get so many compliments! The packaging is so classy and looks expensive! Super fast delivery and amazing prices! I loved my perfume so much I decided to buy a bottle for my mum on Mother’s Day! Without knowing anything about the Essence Vault she called me to say how much she loved her bottle or perfume! Her comment was… it’s the kind of perfume that someone passing would say… wow, who is the woman, she smells fabulous!

My order arrived today. So have not had it long. Wearing 210 today., and I must say I love it. I can even smell the parfum on me and as I walk around. Plus it “feels good to smell good!” It is definitely a fresh feminine scent with citrus notes, and if you love lemons 🍋 and limes like I do, for the everyday 21st century busy women of today. You will not be disappointed. Trust me. Plus the prices are more than sexy and appealing. The Essence Vault is doing us a favour 😘 Do not hesitate to get yours! You won’t regret it!

I was looking for a fresh every day scent and couldn't have chosen better. Absolutely gorgeous, non-cloying and almost makes your mouth water. Glad I bought two although it's too tempting to spray your clothes, the room, your pillows ... Anything within reach really ... Will be back for more

I bought the TEV 210 perfume for my niece's birthday, she had been recommended it and I was rather curious so I bought myself a sample. I'm quite particular about perfumes and find I need to try them over a few days before making a commitment to buy. I'm absolutely delighted with this perfume, I love it, it's so fresh and clean without being cloying. I have now purchased the full size for myself, and will continue to replenish.

Jenny W. 5/5 Verified

Was trying to spare my bottle of the original and just figured I would try this one out on TEV, but wow...! Now, I just go straight to that bottle. I've also bought the 30 ml so I can put it in my bag and go. Yeah, really pleased.

From first spray to the end of the day this is very addictive. If yu love citrus fresh scents this is for you. I love limes and it's a perfect blend with the other notes. Beautiful 🥰

Alison D. 5/5 Verified

For a long time I have loved this perfume scent, but did not want to part with so much money for the branded perfume. So when I came accross this website I was very curious and hopefull to buy the same scent for a fraction of the price. How happy I am that it smells exactly like the branded perfume! I have used it and shown the scent to my friends and everyone with no exception loved it too. The scent is fresh, with notes of citrus which I love, is perfect for a spring summer perfume. Very happy with my purchase, and will certainly buy some more.
