The review
Strong contender. That is where Royal Water lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Royal Water.
The Essence Vault sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Royal Water's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $32 per 100ml it costs 92% less than Royal Water — the cheapest of 6 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
