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.

Had so many compliments and they last so long!
“Absolutely in love with all the perfumes I purchased! I had to go back for more. I originally ordered the 3 x 100ml bundle and then got six more. So, so happy!”

I love the essence vault, have my faves that i order in large bottles but there was a few I hadn’t tried yet I wanted to see if I like so the 5mls were absolutely perfect on this occasion and now I’ve a few new faves I need to go order large bottles off. As always, smell amazing, last all day and savage price not to mention quick dispatch and delivery! What’s not to love hey
they all smell so good! some of them I recognize from before and some I have only tried now because they are bestsellers I am not disappointed. I have already ordered more samples!
Amazing quality scents... getting the multiple tester set allowed me to try some new scents... one million and good girl are amazing (fresh, fruity, kinda spicy) ... the scents last about 3 to 4 hours on skin, longer on clothing. Arrived fast as well
Great idea to sample multiple perfumes at tester rates. Found a couple of firm favourites. All the perfumes are of a really high standard, some I love, some I dislike, which is why the multiple tester offer is so amazing as it allowed me to try out new perfumes based on description.
Ordered these both my partner and I did the quick quiz. Ordered the 3 recommended. My partner then ordered savuage as it’s already on there and I went for aventus for her. So far we love every one and are deciding which ones we want in the bigger bottles. Well worth the money.
Very pleased with my sample purchase. I wanted to see if the Essence Vault could really replicate some of my favourite scents - I will definitely be ordering full sizes.
I was skeptical, but these perfumes are so rich and moving. They also last the several hours. Very impressed indeed!
I have now ordered a set of 5 30ml bottles.
My Goodness! These 4!!! Wow wow wow! I only know the original of 82 SPOT ON!! but will never buy the real one again! Defo getting all of these and another 2 fragrances that I like in the 30 or 100ml. The smell absolutely divinely expensive!!!
Heard a lot of good things so decided to try out a 3x Bundle to see if I liked anything
Got 82, 290, 565.
While I loved the 82 and 565 wasn’t a fan of the 290 (tobacco and vanilla)
Plan to order some more
😍 LOVE THESE!!! This was my first purchase from TEV and I love them. They smell amazing and last all day. I thought I would start with just the sample sizes first but will definitely be upgrading to the larger bottle’s soon.
I'm so addicted to perfume and find it so hard to choose 1. So ordering samples is great! They all smell divine! great price and lasts all day! I also ordered men's samples which also smell amazing thank you so much will definitely be ordering my perfume from use in the future.
I love purchasing the samples, great price, fragrances last well too! I often buy sample size because I like to try new fragrances without having to commit to big bottles or big prices. I will definitely keep trialing the different fragrances!
The hype is real and I am OBSESSED with The Essence Vault!!! Each scent smells almost identical to their inspiration but last so much longer and are more affordable! 753 is my absolute favourite! 100% worth it!!
Bought the 8x5ml samples just to try a few different ones before I bought a bigger bottle. They scents all last a long time when you’re out and it’s surprising how much you get out of the 5ml testers. Would definitely recommend buying these before buying the bigger bottles.
NEW CUSTOMER ALERT! Bought the testers as I had seen a lot of ads for the Essence Vault. And OH MY GOD do they smell good 😍 they're half the price of the real deal and smell virtually identical. My favourite is the vetiver and sandalwood tho!
Well my two older daughters have been using this company for a while and always on at me to give it a go. I’m a perfume junkie and when I found myself out of fragrance I thought I’d give it a try. Fed up of spending a fortune on perfume that doesn’t last and I prefer a strong scent that lingers. Not knowing how they would stay on my skin and react with my skin I opted for a bundle ( plus a few extra ones ) and then because I’m strange I made myself a chart to decide on which one to ask for, for my up and coming birthday. The only thing is, out of the 10 I ordered I’ve fallen in love with at least 5! Just as well I have lots of children ….I’ve now got 5 lovely strong scents to put on my birthday list. This I think, is a great way to see what works for you. Liking a smell is only half the requirement, the way it interacts with you personally is another thing and while I was disappointed to discover some didn’t last there were many more that did and now I’m an EV customer forever …..when you get the right ones - such value for money ! I’m happy again x
This is so amazing. I have received 8 miniatures I wish I had all of them. Like we say Can’t choose among children.. the fragrance is amazing.. haven’t been a single day when people have not told me u smell so ravishing🖤🖤 going to think about which all are the bestest to buy few 😘
I love the concept of the sample sizes! 3 of the 4 scents I picked, I really didn’t like but I found one that’s amazing! 444 is my new favorite scent…I am about to order the full size version!
