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.

Had so many compliments and they last so long!

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 128 reviews.
the picture is a bit blurry, i never post any reviews even if the product is good, but this perfume has astonished me. I went to the store to smell the real perfume of this and it smells the same. I sprayed the perfume on the store and the smell literally disappeared in 2 minutes i tested it many times for 30 minutes i think…, well i wasn’t sure at first to buy the real one so i bought it here because the sample was cheap so i decided to give it a try. I sprayed it on today and went to cook. What i mean by astonished is that i literally cooked and the perfume overpowered the scent of the food i also ate and the smell of it was still on me i was in disbelief 😧. Usually perfume does not stay for so long i even went out for hours and i can still smell it on me. My roommate even complimented me on it. I love this perfume so much, peonies are my favorite flowers, it smells clean and obviously peonies. Once i am done with the sample i will for sure order again 💗
I ordered a sample of this one to try it to see if I liked it before buying a bigger bottle….i really liked this one and I ordered a big bottle ….these are really great affordable perfumes and I have built up a nice collection….
I am truly amazed! I tell you now I will I longer be spending £100 on my original JM peony & blush suede!
Why?! When I can get if for £14 on here.
The smell is spot on I had been searching for a good inspired fragrance for a few years now and I am happy I have my true match! Will never go back ! Thank you for the quality at such amazing prices EV!
Wow! I cannot believe how amazing this smells to my favourite scent! JM Blush suede & peony. Will never pay the original price anymore. I had been waiting for someone to bring out an inspired version & I’m so delighted to have found this! Please never stop selling this. My only regret I wish I had bought the 100ml instead of 30ml but I will when this runs out. Thank you so much Essence Vault💖
I absolutely love every Essence Vault perfume I’ve bought so far, which is about 7-8 different ones. I would normally buy these from the branded companies but not any more. I actually get more compliments now wearing TEV, keep up the fab work
An excellent copy of JM, and the scent is slightly stronger, and much more long lasting, than the original! Arrived quickly, well packaged and incredible value.
This is stunning, it smells very much alike and it last all day and then some!!!! I have so many compliments when wearing it.
It is fresh and floral, such a classy scent. I've worn it day and night it is great for both.
Such good value I bought the three 100ml so for just over 11 delivered a 100ml of scent this good is a bargain.
I bought this on a whim as my Mum asked for the 'real deal' for her birthday. I was intrigued by the name and had no idea what the 'real perfume' smelled like.
It is a lovely scent, and probably my favourite of the three I purchased; however, when smelling it next to 'the real deal', it is clearly different. It has a heavier scent and has less of the top floral notes, in my opinion.
For the price, though, it is a close enough replica to be fair.
Beautiful! I bought this as part of the three pack offer, which is incredible value for money. My daughter wears the JM Peony and Suede Blush, but it is very expensive I bought this for her as an everyday alternative, and she can't get over how fantastic it smells! I even like it so much, that I might just order some for myself next time! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Bought it for my daughter for Christmas and she couldn’t tell the difference. It smells gorgeous and lasted all day. Love it! Service was great too, when my first parcel got lost they were so helpful and sorted out a replacement which I still got in time for Christmas. Thanks!
