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.

Customer photo review of Inspired by Soleil Blanc - 972

I bought This immediately when it was launched, and it is gorgeous! Very distinctive and floral… most suited to summer months, and has a vintage vibe to me… but in a good way! It makes me remember a long discontinued Caralina Harrera perfume I used to wear… I have had compliments when wearing it. It’s quite a mature smell , not a young fruity or sweet scent… not necessarily a safe blind buy… but I love it..

Jane T. 5/5 Verified

I like the dry down smell of this parfum, whereas the first 15 minutes are a bit confusing and dense to me. It remains a lot on clothes which is nice. Can’t compare it with the original cause I never tried it. Great for summer at sea

Emanuele S. 4/5 Verified

It is good but not really like the real thing still strong and very nice clean smelling, aldehydes and vanilla smell, really nice interpretation however!

This was one of the perfumes that I wore during my trip to London where I got engaged! So this scent always brings me such great memories. The wear is long lasting and smells gorgeous and summery!

My first order! What can I say.... I was that impressed I ordered more and have had them delivered. Delivery was swift, I did expect it to be longer so it was a nice surprise it arrived quicker. I love the fragrance and like most people, expected it to fade within the hour, how wrong was I?! I'm currently compiling a list of all the fragrances I need (need not want 😉) 10/10 from me.

Julie H. 5/5 Verified

Love this perfume. My friend at work bought one of the smaller bottles in a bundle deal with some others to try them out and didn't like this one on her so she gave it to me. I've had so many compliments on it, I had to come back and buy the full sized bottle. No idea how it compares to the real thing as I'd never heard of it before, but this smells lush and lasts brilliantly! Definitely a new go to summer scent
