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 Reviews
Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 422 reviews.
I only got a sample before buying the big bottle as I’ve actually used the original Kayali perfume before (which did not last at all!!!) So I bought this as I always loved the smell of the original, and based off the reviews everyone saying it lasts ages. And no joke, This is the ONLY perfume I can smell on myself for absolutely hours. I put it on at 11am, could still smell it at 7/8pm at night. It’s the most juicy and sweet smell. Like candied pear with candyfloss. So happy - will be buying the larger bottle as my signature scent now. Thankyou 💖🍐
Smells so good the amount of people that stop me in public asking me what perfume i’m wearing lol
Smells sweet literally like candy very long lasting even days after I can smell it on my scarf and fur coat
Absolutely beautiful fragrance. I have the original and they smell identical. Very long lasting and I receive a lot of compliments with this Frangrance. I have brought so many back ups so I do not run out.
Great experience ordering with the essence vault. The perfume arrived quickly and the scent is amazing. I’ve ordered three more perfumes, keeping my fingers crossed that the new ones are just as nice!
Absolutely love this perfume which I wasn't sure I would so bought the tester size and immediately bought the larger size . Also ordered a tester size of Baccarat Rouge that is also amazing
It is gorgeous sweet but sexy I'm 39 and it has the perfect mix it's definitely a evening scent and anyone can wear it if you like yum yum marshmallow you will love this one
I really love this one—it’s such a fun, sweet scent.
It’s definitely more on the sugary side, like proper candy/rock sugar vibes, but still has that smooth vanilla running through it so it doesn’t feel cheap or harsh. It just smells soft, sweet and really addictive.
It’s the kind of fragrance that makes you feel cosy but also a bit playful at the same time. I keep catching little whiffs of it and thinking how nice it smells.
It lasts well on me and for the price it’s honestly amazing. If you like sweet, gourmand perfumes, this is right up your street.
Another one I’ll be reaching for a lot!
I hoped it will smell more nicer and more sweeter like a candy-vanilla, but only I can feel the vanilla for sure and something else, not the candy or something sweet like that, more like spice something. At least for me they are so so, but my cousin liked it, because it was a gift for her. For me personally I like sweet perfumes, but this perfume disappointed me.
This has a lovely fragrance. It is not overpoweringly sweet but sweet enough to feel that it is a fun scent to wear. It lasts a long time and the price of 100ml is great.
One of my colleagues wears this scent and I loved it so much that I bought us each a bottle. The perfume lasts longer than any other on my skin and remains on my clothes all day. It is a rich, strong smell which is warm and comforting. I have received many compliments whilst wearing it x
The amount of compliments I’ve received whenever I wear this perfume is crazy! One of my friends said “you smell expensive”🤣. Honestly it’s a lovely sweet vanilla smell and lasts all day while I’m at work😍😍.
