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.

Fresh, clean, and luxurious. It opens with bright citrus and soft florals, then settles into a light amber warmth. It smells like a summer day by the sea—elegant but simple.
great service from Essence Vault. Highly appreciate their quick response and solution to a slight problem I experienced with a bottle. Solved in an eye blink! Great!
I was looking for a summer fragrance, and this is perfect. The citrus aromatic scent stays for a whole day and leaves a deeply distinctive charm over time. Love this one!!
Absolutely amazing for the price neroli is a fantastic buy definitely lingers all day , will order again very quick for delivery and great customer service

This fragrance is amazing! Had bought the smaller bottle a few months back to try and of course loved it so much had to purchase the larger size. Such a fresh scent.that receives multiple compliments when you wear it. I can’t fault essence vault - there perfumes are absolutely awesome and service is 100%. Highly recommend you try your favourite fragrance- you won’t be disappointed.
This is absolutely stunning. Extremely concentrated, I shudder at the strength of the intense as this is very bold and prominent & I am not sure more intensity is required! It makes me feel so sophisticated, it’s really beautiful, feminine and fresh. Citrus lemon notes are bold, so I would wear this on alternating days however am absolutely thrilled with the quality and perfect scent for Summer.
Beautiful fragrance - definitely my summer go to 💕 long lasting & smells like the real deal! Had lots of comments whist wearing this, will definitely buy again & have recommended to friends
I try gives me the exact thing I want in fragrance. It last longer and very affordable now I can save for something else instead of spending so much on perfumes
I adore The Essence Vault.My latest purchase is 111 Neroli Portofino inspired.I am in my late 60's and very fussy when it comes to a good quality perfume. TEV are as close as you can get,believe me,and they last all day...I highly recommend.Not only have I purchased a number of 5 ml samples to test other fragrances I may like,but after posting my code on ky FB page,Ive earned commision.
What a fantastic surprise.
Thanks to THE ESSENCE VAULT♥️
I wear perfume every day, and it’s sooo expensive, but now I’ve discovered the Essence Vault, I can carry on doing so without breaking the bank, good long lasting fragrances. 💗
My first purchase from here and I am literally blown away as I have to original and the scent is literally IDENTICAL!!! I'm a fussy git and really am amazed how these guys have matched the scent notes and blended this fragrance perfectly!!! And for a fraction of the price of the real thing! Clone fragrance used to smell disgusting as the oils were probably cheap, synthetic imitations but you can tell, these guys use genuine top quality fragrance oils like the original manufacturer. I'll be definitely ordering more and recommending to my friends and family.
This review is coming after 2/3 weeks of use.
I keep all perfumes in the fridge and spray it on my wrist, inside elbows and chest before using lotion then apply behind my ears and neck.
111
Definitely the fan favourite and i use for events and parties. It gives me compliments everytime I wear it. This smell will last longer on clothes than on skin. Doesn't smell too close the Neroli however the smell is nice REGARDLESS
This gorgeous fragrance is amongst my top favourites in the TEV range! It is a clean, fresh scent and perfect for Summer. Try it! You will not be disappointed! 🙂
A small bottle is usually £160. This is so close to the real thing.... and it Lasts. Amazing job. All your scents and I've got 6 now are so long lasting and sooo like the real thing. I'm a nurse and can't afford to get the real thing all the time but this product is just as good and a fraction of the price. Keep up the great work.
