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.

Another all time favs and was running low - always get compliments with this one and I tell people where I get it from. Hilarious the other day at work as I am now know for the lovely smells from the Essence Vault and a lady came to me as she followed the smell, saying where is she, as she needed to know which perfume I had on that day lol I told her and she’s ordered. This one gets lots of compliments and lasts all day.

Een heerlijke frisse geur die heel erg overeenkomt met het origineel. Blijft ook lang hangen. Lekker ruiken hoeft dus niet duur te zijn. Een aanrader!

This scent is exactly like the real thing! Intoxicating rose but with a lot more sophistication typical for a very expensive perfume. It has strong longevity and projection just as the original. So if you don’t want to spend £270 on 100ml for the real deal, I’d recommend trying this alternative.

Got bottle for myself and my daughter this Christmas. Smelt the real perfume off a client and fell in love. There is no difference with the number 565. It’s lasts all day and get comments on it all the time… we love it 😍

Emily C. 5/5 Verified

As I ordered the scent I couldn't recall quite, I new I have sniffed the original, but it has been a while. So let's say it was almost blind buy. Upon recieving my package I sprayed a bit on a sticky note to see how it smells and performs... Well what should I say it's been a week now, since I put the sticky under my worktable and it still smells really nice. Powerhouse. The scent is definitely not a summer one, so I can't say yet how it will work with my body chemistry, but hey it has passed the test

Nadya S. 4/5 Verified

Bought 565 previously . Loved it. Had so many compliments and questions about it . So much so my 2 daughters both ordered it . Reordered and am somewhat disappointed as it smells great when it’s sprayed but the scent has gone within minutes ,cannot smell it on me and no one else can , perhaps I’ve got a poor sample .A shame because I love the perfume x
