The real thing, guaranteed
Are these real designer fragrances or dupes/imitations?
Essentia offers authentic designer and niche fragrances, independently rebottled into small spray formats. We do not sell inspired-by alternatives or dilute the fragrance. Our sample and travel sprays are Essentia formats, not original manufacturer minis. Essentia is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the original fragrance brands.
How do I know it's authentic and not watered down?
We source only new-in-box, factory-sealed bottles from reputable distributors. Our decanting process is precise and hygienic — we use professional tools and work in a clean environment. We never mix, blend, or modify the original fragrance in any way. What goes into your Essentia bottle is exactly what's in the original designer bottle.
Why is it so much cheaper than the full-size bottle?
A smaller format lets you purchase less fragrance at once. Compare the current price, volume and packaging on the product page. A lower total purchase price does not necessarily mean a lower price per milliliter. Choose the format that suits how you plan to use the fragrance.
Everything about our 10ml bottles
How long does a 10ml bottle last?
The number of wears depends on the atomizer, the amount used per wear and how often you apply it. Spray yield is not a fixed specification across every atomizer. Fragrance wear time on skin is a separate question and varies with the scent and conditions. Choose a smaller sample for an initial test or a 10ml spray for more opportunities to wear the fragrance.
What does the bottle look like?
Our 10ml bottles are premium metal twist-up atomizers with a sleek, modern design. They're refillable, durable, and designed to look as good as the fragrance inside them. No cheap plastic vials — this is a bottle you'll be proud to pull out.
Do you sell full-size bottles too?
Yes! Many of our fragrances are available in both our signature 10ml travel size and the original full-size bottle at competitive prices. Try the 10ml first, and upgrade to full-size when you find your favorite.

The family behind the brand
Who is behind Essentia?
We're four brothers from Southern California who love designer fragrances. We started Essentia because we believed luxury scents should be accessible without the $300 price tag. Every order is handled by our family team right here in California.
Can I visit a store or collect my order?
Essentia is fully online. We do not currently offer a customer-facing store, local pickup or an active customer vending location. Choose your items online and check the shipping options for your address at checkout.
