Frequently Asked Questions

If you have a UK address you can buy certain Essens products direct from this website by visiting our shop. 

You can buy Essens products at the official Essens website. Delivery charges of up to £5 will apply.

You can join Essens just to buy the products. We call these members our VIP customers. VIP customers enjoy the same discounts as our distributors and benefit from cashback subject to minimum purchases within the same month (e.g. 5 bottles of perfume) but will pay delivery charges as above. 

VIP Customers are not charged to register.

When joining tick the box "I only want to purchase". 

There is no joining fee, but we recommend a perfume starter kit, if joining as a distributor, so that you can show potential customers how good the perfumes are. Starter kits start at £26 & (£5 p&p) but are discounted if ordered in the month of joining and for the first 48 hours after joining you can order the  Essens sample wallet, plus a full size 50ml Essens perfume of your choice and have it sent to you all for £35. 

You must be 18 years old to join 

The standard discount/earnings for Essens members is 33.5% on most products but can be higher during Essens Sales which happen at least once per month. Plus you also receive free products when you sell a certain quantity of the same product (e.g. sell 5 perfumes get one bottle free).  Earnings can go up as high as 48% when taking into account  free products and bonus commission.  So earnings can be anywhere between 33.5% - 48% but average earnings are around 33.5% based on just £150 of sales.  See our membership page for full details of how earnings work.

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. 

No, not specifically. To receive cashback 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. To earn bonus commission on your teams sales, you must place an order of 20 points.

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. N.B. don't forget if you are a team leader you must place an order of 20 points to access team bonus commission.

The selling process is simple. You show the Essens 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 Essens perfumes, they usually want to buy. 

You can just show the list around but prospective customers are more likely to purchase if they have had the chance to try before they buy.

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

No! Absolutely not! Pyramid schemes are illegal in the UK. 

Pyramid schemes are a scam and have no end product or no product of any real value.  The only way to earn money in a pyramid scheme is to recruit others into it.

Essens is a legitimate way to earn money working from home with very little risk.

Essens has a high-value quality products at an affordable price that consumers want and come back time and time again to purchase. Realistically, Essens distributors can earn a 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.

That is entirely up to you. You can earn a good extra income 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, every Essens member can introduce other people to Essens. You simply give them your sponsor link (everyone has a unique registration link) or give them your sponsor ID and direct them to the Essens 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. Essens pay you the bonuses.  You do not take any part of the commission your downline team member earns.

Bonus commission can go up to 28% of the points from your own sales but you also earn bonus commission on your team sales.  For full information about the Essens Compensation Plan read our guide
