Not all perfumes are created equal
Essens perfumes are different. Essens fragrances are produced using totally natural ingredients with no harsh chemicals being added during the production process. Only the finest quality fragrance oils make it into an Essens perfume and once blended the fragrance oils sit for a period of at least 8 weeks to let the individual scents fully integrate and stabilise. Like a fine champagne this process cannot be rushed, and we use no chemicals to speed up the maturation process. The end product is far superior to any other designer inspired perfumes on the market.
Perfume Strengths
Perfumes and Aftershaves are graded in different strengths depending on how much fragrance oils are added to the final mix before bottling. They range from an Eau Fraiche which typically contains less than 3% fragrance oil, to a pure perfume (Parfum) with more than 20% fragrance oils.
All Essens perfumes contain a minimum of 20% fragrance oils and are therefore classed as Parfum. This is often stronger than the concentration of fragrance oils in the designer brands that have inspired our perfumes, and they often last longer and smell stronger than the original branded fragrance.
Perfume Pricing
What makes Essens perfumes so affordable when there is zero compromise on quality?
Quite simply we cut out all the frills. We don’t use fancy bottles that are costly to produce. Our bottles are classically elegant but not ornate. We don’t pay for celebrity endorsements, although quite a few celebrities love our perfumes. We don’t “advertise” in newspapers or glossy magazines, and we don’t have shops. So there are no expensive advertising costs or commercial rents to pay. You can only buy Essens products through an authorised distributor like us.
Without all the additional expenses that the big brands have, you are only paying for the perfume inside the bottle. As we always say “You don’t wear the bottle so why pay for it”?
Nevertheless, because we won’t compromise on quality, our perfumes are reassuringly more expensive than some of our competitors, but at the same time drastically cheaper than the designer versions. In some instances, it’s possible to buy 5 or more bottles of an Essens perfume for what it would cost for one bottle of a Branded perfume.

Perfumes Dupes?
Our perfumes are designer inspired, often referred to as perfume dupes, copycat perfumes or smell alike scents. We prefer the term “designer” inspired because as you can see from the above our perfumes are very different. We are not trying to copy anyone. The only similarity between our perfumes and the branded versions is the smell. Our perfumes smell VERY similar to the original perfumes, and are instantly recognisable as the scent they claim to be inspired by. We are certainly not trying to dupe anyone. Our bottles are Essens, our packaging is Essens but if you wear our perfumes don’t be surprised if your friends think you’re wearing the real thing.
