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 think this is my favorite scent at the moment. It lasts all day and I get a lot of compliments about it. Definitely recommend.
First I was hesitant about buying but decided to give it an go and I Absolutely love this !!! I always get compliments when I’m wearing it and it last all day now just need to buy the bigger bottle xxx
Gorgeous fragrance, smells so good! Very identical to the original fragrance and very hard to tell the difference. Sturdy, heavy bottles. I got the 3x100mls deal, well packaged and next day delivery. I always get compliments on my scent when I wear 444 in particular. Love these! 🖤
I STOPPED someone to ask what the hell their perfume was! the whole shop smelt of them. I immediately bought it soon as I got home. The projection on this is unbelievable. I put it on yesterday at 4pm, and still smelling the odd wave at about 7am the following day. 10am completely gone but drench me in this, smells like a sophisticated Cherry Bakewell. I never thought I’d be a Cherry lover, but the nuttiness makes it so warm. My absolute signature scent now. Thankyou 🍒🥜
I got lost cherry guys so good and last all day smells exactly like that one real one costs to high to wear ..but Essence vault
100ml is great value and I will buy again guys go buy it's amazing and everyone I met wearing this says you can't tell the difference between this and expensive one I saved loads you will be amazed and you won't be disappointed
I'm incredibly happy with the my purchase of Lost Cherry 444. It's smells exactly as I expected it to and wore it for my wedding day. Delivery was fast and I will definitely be buying more in the future.
Never smelled this perfume before so sent for a sample. I loved it so sent for a bigger bottle. Wear it every day because it's cheap enough to just send for more when needed.
I just recently moved to Belgium, and I really love perfumes even back in the Philippines, that's why, I am so happy I was able to find a store where I can buy perfumes at a fair price. I really like the smell, and I would love to buy it again in the next few months. And by the way, my friend from the UK is planning to buy from your store too, as she is also looking for a legit store where she can buy perfume.

I got so, sooo many compliments on Lost Cherry, people have no idea that's it's not the "real deal" before I tell them. Absolutely adore it and it last all day and beyond!
i have ordered so many of these that the people around me call me addicted, which is 100% true. 444 lost cherry is the most amazing smelling perfume ever. saves me money, people around me compliment me on my smell all the time, it’s a win win!!
I think i am an addict!!!!! Love them all but as you can see two bottles of Cherry this is by far my favourite. Lasts all day, even after my clothes have been washed i can smell it still. And not to mention the compliments when wearing it. Love it 🍒 🌸 🍒 🌸
smells lovely but i think i am allergic to it! every time i wear my neck is itchy and red, the same for the other scents i have purchased unfortunately
I have been using your your brand for a long time now. I ordered the last cherry and couldn't find it. So I ordered again but that order hasn't come can you let me know if it was cancelled or anything like that please. Thanks so much who's get straight on it when there is a problem and we're truly grateful
All your perfume sensor absolutely stunning my favourite is lost cherry ghost and alien lol love them all tbh they last and I constantly get comments and how lovely I smell. And I send them your way. Sorry to be a pain x
Smells amazing. Lasts all day. Someone across the office called out 'who's just sprayed perfume? It smells beautiful ' I smuggly responded me . Testament to the brand right there
My collection starting now
What 3 should I order this next
Love all the scents and surprising staff and customers with a different smell every day get lots of comments
I do really love the smell worth every penny I would rather buy this than the real expensive one even to it doesn’t last the whole day but for 8 hr you can feel it
I've just received my 'Lost Cherry - 444' & absolutely love it, delivery was very quick ordered on a Friday received it on Monday, am wondering what have I been doing all this time wasting my time on expensive perfumes, I would 100 % recommend this fragrance & look forward to ordering more.
Excellent fragrance and very good service. I have previously sold perfumes and I’m very fussy but the quality of the product is of a very high standard.
