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 Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 144 reviews.
Scented twins Bought from the Mandarino di Amalfi. Hardly distinguishable from the original. More than 90%!! Durability and sillage are excellent. Lasts on my skin +6 hours. Very good for a summer perfume. And for the narrow taler you can certainly spray. Customer service is excellent. Mails will be answered the same day. That's how it should be and online shopping is fun.
Delivers perfectly! Very close to the original for just a hint of the price!
Citrusy, basil, floral and a mix down of mandarin top scents. Last long and grows beautifully during dry out, almost a tad of freshed cotton newly washed in the bottom notes balancing nicely with the citrus!
These perfumes smell amazing!! 845 is my favourite! I can’t get enough of these fragrances I have ordered 4 more, for Christmas presents but I am tempted to keep them for myself haha the smell lasts from morning until night, people have commented on how nice I smell.
I don't know the original fargrance that inspired this, but I would describe it as a very fresh, citrus, summer cologne. It's personally not an instant winner for me, but lovers of 111 would most likely enjoy it and the citrus lemon projects well from the skin.
This smells insane, smells exactly like the real thing and a huge fraction of the price! It last so long aswell so you only need to spray it once or twice a day! Would 100% buy again! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
This beautiful fragrance #53 is clean and fresh with the most gorgeous orange blossom note. It is perfect for the warmth of Summer. Try it. You will love it!
This is my favorite perfume ordered so far. The citrus notes fade after a couple of hours and you get basil with a hint of something blue and very light honeysuckle. Complex and changing over 10hrs. Stays on clothes for at least 36hrs. Gender neutral scent.
Absolutely love my perfume. I'm very impressed how similar it is to the designer label, and how long-lasting too. It arrived just in time for my holiday too!
Mandarino de Amalfi is an excellent concoction for the warmer weather! Very close to the original (about 90%), great performance and decent projection too. Would recommend if you like the original!
I like it, the smell once sprayed is too citrusy (way more than the original) but once it sits for a bit it smells quite similar and it is so summery and nice.
All what I’ve ordered I’ve had the original scent and this is as good as it gets so close to the original scent plus it actually lasts longer it’s a no brainier to buy these scents definitely worth buying
I was not familiar with the original inspiration for my essence vault fragrance. I ordered it based on the fragrance description given on the website, as I tend to like fresh, citrus scents.
I was not disappointed with this one
100% accurate replica to the original , have never been happier with a scent, wear it everyday, perfection. gotten so many compliments on all my purchases, spray in the morning, lasts all day !!!
Part of my chosen 3x 100ml bundle, love the option to mix and match any combination. A nice little January treat to myself. As always great customer service, speedy delivery, great value and of course they smell beautiful!
