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.

“I’m absolutely delighted with my fragrance, it smells beautiful, I’ve had so many comments when I wear it. Very efficient delivery, great packaging and amazing value.”
I decided to share how wonderful all these perfumes are!
But am upset my previous order has not arrived!
I thought by showing what a good customer I am maybe my order will be resent! Never had any problems before

This perfume is the bomb! It smells so good and lasts all day long! I get so much compliments everyday since I started using it. I’ve made it my signature perfume from now onwards🥰😍
I normally pay alot of money for this but a friend told me to try the essence vault, so I did and I'm amazed how alike it actually is. I will definitely be ordering from them from now on thank you..
I’ve just bought this perfume about a week ago, and i absolutely love it. The scent lasts me all day and it has a lovely sweet but smell. I will definitely be buying again!!
I have now purchased this particular perfume for the 2nd time.
It is Gorgeous and smells identical to the original.
I have to say comparing it to the real thing No 42 lasts all day long and I have had far more compliments wearing this.
It's my favourite and I will be purchasing more
I highly recommend you try this one
Really love my perfume!!!
42 is my favourite but no matter what I wear...I get lots if compliments from friends & colleagues.
I love that I can treat myself more often with a new fragrance without breaking the bank.
5 stars from me!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️
I loved it so much, its my everyday perfume. First order amaze me till i have order another 3 different scent to give away to my family. Then this is my 3rd order. All my colleague at work asked me as they can smell me all day long. So i recommend it to them too.
Nearly finished mine, and have bought others for presents after getting so many compliments. Perfect scent! more than worth it! The bundles are a steal
Absolutely gorgeous scent , smells very luxury and expensive but really not. I will definitely purchase again.Will definitely be buying my perfume from here anymore . Thank you ☺️
I'm not normally the type to write reviews, but the essence vault is absolutely worth shouting about, myself and my partner both brought fragrance (42 & 197) and we truly couldn't believe how much they smell like the inspired fragrances. After trying 42 I am massively impressed, the fragrance lasts for hours so much so I showered and could still smell it on me! The price is none comparable and the quality of the packaging is great. Will definitely being ordering again in the very near future.
Absolutely love it!
Was my first time ordering with the company and was very skeptical but it came and they even helped me along the way with tracking my order, thanks team TEV 🫶
Love it! Arrived in a couple of days, well packaged. Eau de Parfum so it is strong, only need a spray or 2, lasts all day. Smells gorgeous! Absolutely will be purchasing from The Essence Vault again. Brilliant value. Recommended to all my family, friends and colleagues
I buy all my perfumes from essencevault. This one is my all time favourite, although all others have been great. I can't actually smell them on myself, which I'm told is a good thing, but get lots of good comments on the smell. Highly recommended this company
