Frequently Asked Questions

There is no joining fee, but we recommend a perfume starter kit, as a minimum, so that you can show potential customers how good the perfumes are. Starter kits are £26 & (£6 p&p) but are discounted if ordered in the month of joining. 

All Essens products are given a points value, which equates approximately to the member price less the VAT element. Whereas the cost price of the product varies from country to country depending on the currency, the points do not. 

The standard discount/earnings for Essens members is 20% but goes up to 33% on certain products. There is also a loyal member discount from the second calendar month onwards which starts at 33% and can go up as high as 44% when taking into account free products and bonus commission.  So earnings can be anywhere between 20% - 44%.  

No, not specifically. To enjoy the higher loyal member discount in the following month you must place an order/or multiple orders totalling over 50 points (all Essens products have a points value) within the same month, and to earn bonus commission on your own sales you must place orders totalling 100 points within the same month. 

No. Your only commitment is to place an order of any value within 30 days of joining and one order in every 12 month period thereafter. However, if you skip a month or order less than 50 points in any month, you lose the loyal member discount bonus and start back on 20% discount. 

The selling process is simple. You show the samples to your friends and family, or loan out the starter kit for a few days and once your prospective customers have smelled the quality of the perfumes, they usually want to buy. 

You can also promote products on social media and we have a number of tools to help you do that. 

 No, you can join just as a buyer. We call these our VIP customers. VIP customers enjoy the same discounts as our distributors but are unlikely to qualify for bonus commission. 

You must be 18 years old to join 

That is entirely up to you. You can earn a decent amount of money just selling the products however, if you help other people to earn money with Essens too by showing them how to do what you do, you will earn more. The more people you help the more money you will make.  

No, it's optional but every Essens member can introduce other people to Essens. You simply give them your sponsor link (which everyone has) or give them your sponsor ID and direct them to the registration form.  They are given their membership number straight away and can start selling straight away. 

Simple.  They get points from their sales and you get those points too.  The more points you have at the end of the month higher the bonus commission on your own sales you will receive.

Bonus commission can go up to 28% of the points from your own sales but you also earn bonus commission on the points of the people under you.  For full information about the Essens Compensation Plan see our membership page.

No! Pyramid schemes are illegal in the UK. 

Pyramid schemes are a scam and have no end product or no product of any real value.  Nobody can earn money without recruiting others into a pyramid scheme. Essens has a high-value product at an affordable price that consumers want and come back time and time again to purchase. Essens distributors can earn three-figure monthly income just from selling the products without ever recruiting a single person. 

Essens is a Direct Selling company and is a member of the Direct Selling Association of the UK which regulates the direct selling industry.
