Essens perfume smell alikes are made from the finest ingredients and all contain 20% fragrance oil meaning they smell stronger and last longer than most of the designer perfumes that inspired them making them some of the best designer perfume dupes available in the UK. Whilst often referred to as replica designer perfume, they are not actual copies or fakes. They are Essens fragrances, with Essens' own formula, and are presented in a simple but elegant Essens bottle.  Essens perfumes are left to cure naturally which means they contain less harsh chemicals and are both Vegan friendly, cruelty free and Halal.

Essens do not pay for TV or magazine advertising nor for celebrity endorsements.  All these cost-savings mean we can produce our inspired perfumes without compromising on quality. So you pay for the perfume inside the bottle rather than the bottle that you do not wear. 

Essens perfumes are designer-inspired fragrances.  Inspired fragrances are often referred to as copycat perfumes or perfume dupes, but they are not actually copies and are certainly not intended to dupe anybody. The perfume notes are the same as the designer brands so they smell almost identical to the designer fragrances that have inspired them but that is where the similarity ends.  

So, for example, let's say your favourite designer brand has top notes of Bergamot, Orange, and Grapefruit; middle notes of Rose, Litchi, and Jasmine and the base notes are Patchouli, Vanilla, Musk, and Vetiver.  The Essens inspired version that smells the same has very similar notes.  In this case Top note: orange, orange blossom, tangerine, bergamot Middle note: mimosa, jasmine, Turkish rose, ylang-ylang Base note: Tonka bean, patchouli, sweet myrrh, vanilla, vetiver, white musk. 

So you can see that it isn't an identical formula but similar enough that the untrained nose cannot tell the difference. 

Please note, that Essens perfumes are not cheap designer perfume copies. They are high-quality fine fragrances, made with only premium fragrance oil, that smell the same as the designer branded scents, but without the hefty price tag. They contain at least 20% fragrancce oils so smell stronger and last longer that cheaper counterparts. Essens fragrances tend to be a little more expensive than other replica perfumes as the perfume ingredients are of a superior quality.  In this case, you very much get what you pay for.

In addition, Essens perfumes contain less harsh chemicals, a higher concentration of the perfume essence, and is left to cure naturally for 8 weeks.  They are then transported to the United Kingdom and Ireland in temperature controlled vehicles to ensure that the quality is not compromised during transit.
