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.

These perfumes smell just like the real thing
“Trust me when I say these perfumes smell just like the real thing. They also last a very long time - one spray in the morning, and I can still smell it at bedtime! I 100% recommend them!”

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’m a customer for life, thank you so much, 100% satisfied
“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 recently tried the Essence Vault reed diffuser and have genuinely been impressed with how it brings a continuous, welcoming scent into my home. The fragrance fills the room in a subtle but noticeable way – it doesn’t overpower, yet you can smell it consistently throughout the day, which makes the space feel warm and inviting.
As a family we absolutely love TEV we've got a few. I can honestly say that these reed diffusers are absolutely amazing. It smells beautiful all round my living room and the smell stays. I will be buying more of these because in my opinion they are the best I have ever had. They smell exactly like the designer scent and the fragrance lasts.
Lovely bundle at a super price, not that strong of smell from defusers unfortunately, got one either end of lounge and can't really smell them which is a shame, essence could do with being stronger.
Love the diffusers and perfumes, been using Essence Vault for couple of years now , keep telling all my friends about them especially when they keep telling me how good I smell .. ❤️❤️❤️
I bought a bundle of 2 diffusers for my son, who chose 142 & 200 (he’s already a customer for your fragrances (he introduced me to TEV!) He informs me they smell amazing and he can smell them all round his apartment! My bundle included 3 fragrances that were gifts, as people were complimenting me on my perfume, so I bought them as gifts. Amazing, I’ll never buy the high end brands again and love the fact they are cruelty free. Looking forward to my next purchase 😊
Can’t believe these products! They smell amazing, last all day. The diffuser fills the space with the beautiful scent! I would highly recommend and I have done to many family and friends 🙌🏻
I have been seeing people on social media talking about the perfume so I decided to try it, from the reviews I decided to choose three different kinds, but to be honest I was bloooooown away🥰, I so much love the perfume and they smell so good this is my exact type of perfume and the diffusers OMG I love them they smell so good. I am happy I bought them….
a million stars for you…❤️❤️❤️
Thank you essence vault for the order was really amazing to get all of these products so that I can gift them to my family members and loved ones for Christmas 🎄 ❤
Great smell for my new house using the reed defusers in two rooms. I’ll definitely be add more aftershaves to my collection and getting some new reed defusers to rotate the scents
After 40 years in dentistry so I f d it near impossible to find a subtle smell that I can actually smell and all that I bought covered that. I will be shopping for presents etc from now on from yourselves
The smells are great and really like the "originals". The baccarat rouge diffuser is beautiful and as they are cruelty free this makes me even happier!
Black Cherry Diffuser fills a large room with a glorious scent. Barracat Rouge not as powerful so this is more suited to a small room. I will be ordering more
I feel the bundle was amazing for the money.
I have only opened one diffuser that I display in my small toilet, what I would say is that I thought that it would be a more powerful fragrance I feel that everyday when I am in cleaning in there that I am having to change the reeds around ,when I don’t have to do this with my other diffusers. I will persevere until I open my second one to see if it’s the same! If it’s a one off I would definitely purchase AGAIN .
