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.

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.

The Essence Vault was recomended by a friend and they didn't disappoint. Not only is the scent identical but equally as strong which, I must admit, I wasn't expecting. Its a fraction of the cost and was delivered very quickly. Im so pleased and I highly recommend.
Afther a fault from dpd ,glad you did everything to have my commend again ,thank u so.mutch ,also for the 2 essamples you put in the box .
Best regards stephan
These are amazing.. 😻 great value for the 3x 100ml bottles.. 👌 my 3rd purchase for you guys.. I will continue to support this business.. well done guys
I've been a big fan of T.F. Ombre Leather..but it's price means it's a special treat and I make it last..! However when I saw your Ad and "470" your equivalent for a price I couldn't believe I gave it a try on a 30ml sample bottle. My wife couldn't tell the difference ! Neither could I, and also its an all day fragrance..!
So I'm now stocked up from your "Sale" with 3x 100ml bottles for a 1/3 of the price of 100ml of T.F.
What a result..! 👍
This was a big surprise as it is extremely long lasting we are talking 12 plus hours on skin. It opens with the violet and cedar top notes which remain for some time the middle notes get a little lost as the violet is still to the for. finally it dries down to the woody and leather base. If you want something that will last all day this is a good choice
The Ombree Leather essence is as real as it gets! I used the real designer parfume before.
The essence vault parfume is evenly perfect.
And it lasts the whole day.
Big fan!
Had this for a few days and the amount of attention I’ve gotten is amazing. The smell lasts longer with you spray it on your clothes (at least 10cm out).
I ordered 470 and got 461 free of charge. Now I thought 470 smell amazing but hold on wait a minute 461 has knocked my socks off. The smell is out of this world thanks for the free gift of 461. You rock.
AMAZING PERFUME, smells exactly as original!
first I was sceptical, as I tried similar concept product and those were not such a great copies. BUT THIS - Truly IMPRESSED! I would recommend this to friends and would buy as a present too. great job!
I've never owned the inspirational fragrance of 470, so I can't make any direct comparisons. Some people have found this smell to be a touch 'clinical' but I adore it. Performance is reasonable and the scent lingers on clothes the day after I wear it.
I really can’t believe how much it smells like the real thing and lasts for hours and hours I can even smell it the next day ,,, I will never purchase full price on aftershave’s again when the essence vault is in business 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
