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.

Love it! Long lasting, exotic, citrusy scent. Quite sweet initially but that settles rather quickly to give space for the coconut and salt water. It said unisex when I ordered it but I’d say this is more feminine.

Super Sommerduft. Geht ein wenig in die Richtung von Malibu Party in the Bay von S. Andreoli. Haltbarkeit und Sillage sind sehr gut. Hält auf meiner Haut +6 Stunden. Auf Kleidung noch am Folgetag wahrnehmbar. Absolut uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen

I absolutely love this one! It’s such a beautiful, creamy coconut and bergamot scent that feels fresh, tropical, and so easy to wear. It’s the kind of fragrance I keep reaching for again and again! 🥥✨️

Really like this perfume, the coconut and vanilla give it a creamy sweet smell but the citrus balances it out and gives a nice freshness. I'm not familiar with the original perfume it's inspired by so cannot comment on the closeness but a lovely scent in it's own right.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE no. 472. The smell is divine. It's like you're back somewhere sunny and hot with hints of coconut in the air and rays of sunshine warming up your skin. Citrusy undertone makes your soul glow. The amount compliments I've gotten over this perfume. Highly recommend it.

This perfume is AMAZING - I love the Seychelles fragrance from TWC but for me it’s just too expensive being £30 for 30ml - this smells EXACTLY the same and lasts just as long! And it’s sooooo much cheaper for a larger bottle too! Win win win 😍

Just as described, a beachy vibe and sweet. A sweet vanilla and amber comes through really nice. The sweetness reminds me of the old monoi oil from Yves Rocher. Smells better and better and long lasting. Good and quick delivery to Sweden.

This smells like beach mornings, coconut suncream just applied, clean vanilla scented skin just out of the shower with a hint of orange. Before the day gets hot and sultry, it's lighter and fresher. This is really lovely and would love an intense version as I keep sniffing my arm.

Oh my goodness, this is pure summer in a bottle!! It’s a lovely fresh but gentle scent and I’m absolutely in love with it. The perfect summer scent- even if our summer has been rubbish so far, this perfume will whisk you away to sunnier climes!!!

Inspired by Seychelles - 472

I LOVE this! It smells absolutely divine. I can’t stop smelling myself 😂 it’s the perfect summer fragrance. Very orangey to start with, but as it settles and matures, the gorgeous, creamy coconut & vanilla comes out. It just smells like holiday in a bottle and I think this will be my go-to daily summer perfume! I took a gamble after getting a sample of a different summery perfume & it smelt horrid, and ordered a 100ml bottle of this without testing it (nor had I smelt the original) and it paid off! Absolutely love this, it’s strong but not overpowering and seems to last pretty well, although I’ve not tested its longevity properly yet as I’ve only just received it today, but it smells so amazing I just had to come and rave about it straight away!! 🍊🥥☀️💛

Inspired by Seychelles - 472

So glad I tried this it’s like a beautiful mix of bright dreamy holiday smells perfume lasted all day and till I had shower next day

Inspired by Seychelles - 472

The smells amazing! Perfect for summer, lovely tones and not too overpowering! Great value

Inspired by Seychelles - 472

I like this one very much. Because when wearing this scent I can picture myself lying in the sand on a pristine beautiful beach in...well, yes: The Seychelles. A luxurious smell to wear in the evening as well to make my female friend interested in me just a little...
