Great customer service system

Great customer service system!

I recently made a purchase with The Essence Vault and unfortunately had complications with the Evri delivery service and my parcel never reached me! I reached out to the customer service team and they fixed my problem immediately! It was so nice to talk to Yaseen, who was a real person, and not just an AI chat bot, which I feel is rare these days. I appreciate that they made the process quick and easy!

Always an absolute pleasure

I’ve been purchasing from Essence Vault since discovering them in October 2021, and I haven’t gone anywhere else since. Their products never disappoint. I recently placed an order and had my first ever issue — but it was resolved in no time. Adam was amazing to deal with. Thank you, Adam! I was stressed when the issue came up, but nothing was a bother, and a new shipment has sent. Currently waiting for it to arrive. I know the problem wasn’t their fault; it was a delivery issue.
This company deserves so much more recognition than it gets. I have so many family members and friends who now buy from them. Whenever I get complimented, the first thing I say is, “Essence Vault,” followed by the scent I’m wearing. One thing people never forget is a fragrance — it always brings them back.
I always buy the bundles. I use them, my partner uses them, and almost everyone in my family has transitioned to them. I’m currently working on my partner’s family next! I give them as gifts, and people rave about how amazing they are. They make perfect stocking fillers and hamper fillers — no one has ever been disappointed.

Missing order

My order said it had arrived from royal mail to the DO, not my address. I went to the DO delivery office in person and they said it was delivered. Niamh at essence fault was in full communication with me and understood my fustration and upset. Niamh was brilliant, a full investigation us underway with royal mail and my order has been replace and sending to a post office near me, so it doesn't get lost again. I'm am very grateful as these are xmas presents. Thank you niamh.

Love this site . There perfumes smell just like the original ones and last all day . Arrive fast too . You can buy small bottles too so you can try different scents without breaking the bank . I have tried other sites but these are the best . Highly recommend this site .

Received all of my items in perfect condition again. This is probably my 6th order and can say each of the scents I have ordered have been blind purchases so was quite risky. This latest order was literally me restocking my favorites as no way do I want to run out . I’m hoping to be surprised in 2026 with essence vault launching alien goddess this would be the icing on the cake . Have a great Xmas for all at essence vault ❤️

5 stars for Alix at The Essence Vault gor impeccable customer service.

To be honest, I would have given 1 star and told everyone to steer clear but then I contacted Customer service and was treated impeccably by Alix. First I bought 6 perfumes on the offer and 1 does not spray. I contacted customer service and was told that I needed to send a video in proving this. I did not bother as was at work and felt this was not good customer service. But I had already ordered 7 more on their Christmas offer. This time I did not receive my parcel as the incompetent courier company left my parcel at a gate on a main road (not even mine and they even sent a photo of it). I was asked to scan an attachment and do multiple things and send back. It was a joke! But then Alix provided me with good traditional customer service. Alix went above and beyond and really made me feel like a special customer. Something that does not happen often online. I was kept in the loop of communication and made to feel like my feelings mattered. This restored my faith in the company when this morning, I received my parcel. It was perfect. The scents smell amazing. I instantly messaged my family and friends to say that the scents are amazing and they will not be disappointed when they order (which they have). One was waiting to review as has a large Tik Tok following to rate scents. Every company needs more Alix's. A very Merry Christmas to you Alix and hope your employer knows your worth. You care and I want to thank you. I will continue to buy from The Essence Vault. Thank you. Amazing copies, Amazing customer service.

Recieved alot of compliments from the fragrances. No one could tell it was a dupe. So I ordered the same fragrances again but recieved the wrong product. After emailing the company, Nikki sent me replacement fragrances and free samples but I also didnt have to return the fragrances that were sent wrong! Thank you Essence Vault! Great service!

Ordered many time! 1000% recommend.

Ordered many times from here and I’ve loved every single one. The scents last all day, and I always get so many compliments. Even my husband, who originally said it would be a waste of money and the smell wouldn’t last, ended up loving them. Now he has his own collection! I 1000% recommend.

Sometimes you buy cheap and you buy twice

Sometimes you buy cheap and you buy twice. The fragrances are absolutely vile and smell nothing like the original fragrances. Lady million smells like b&m fake tan, d&g light blue smells like adidas aftershave, and flowerbomb smells like actual black pepper. 4.7 star reviews are surely paid for and not real!
