Essence80: Luxury-'Inspired-By' Fragrance Without the Luxury Price Tag
In a world where designer fragrances can easily cost £100+ a bottle, more and more people are looking for smarter ways to smell incredible, without overspending, and that’s where Essence80 comes in.
Essence80 is a fragrance brand built around a simple but powerful idea:
Create high-quality fragranced products inspired by the world’s most-loved designer scents at prices that our customers will love just as much.
What Does “Inspired By” Really Mean?
Let’s clear this up first.
Essence80 is a legally compliant “inspired-by” fragrance brand, meaning:
- We do not copy or counterfeit designer products
- We do not use trademarked names or packaging
- Instead, We create original formulations that capture the essence, vibe, and scent profile of popular fragrances
Think of it like this: If you love the smell of a luxury perfume, Essence80 recreates that experience, without claiming to be the original.
Essence80 takes inspiration from some of the most iconic fragrances in the world - from warm gourmand favourites to fresh, citrusy classics and deep woody blends.
Our catalogue includes scents inspired by:
- Floral icons like jasmine, rose, and orange blossom blends
- Sweet gourmand fragrances with vanilla, caramel, and coffee notes
- Fresh and clean profiles with citrus, aquatic, and green notes
- Bold, woody, and spicy scents featuring oud, sandalwood, and amber
Whether your style is soft and feminine, bold and masculine, or completely unisex - there’s something for everyone.
