Delivery
How long does delivery take?+
Same-day delivery is available in Kampala for orders placed before 2pm. Standard delivery across Uganda takes 2–5 business days depending on your location. Express options are available for an additional fee.
Is delivery free?+
We offer free delivery on orders over UGX 200,000 within Kampala. Standard delivery is UGX 15,000 for orders below this amount. Same-day delivery costs UGX 25,000. Pickup from our Ntinda studio is always free.
Do you deliver outside Kampala?+
Yes! We deliver nationwide across Uganda via trusted courier partners. Delivery to most major towns (Jinja, Entebbe, Mbarara, Gulu, Lira) typically takes 2–3 business days. Remote areas may take up to 5 business days.
Products & Fragrances
Are your perfumes natural and chemical-free?+
Yes. All Ekimuli fragrances are made with natural botanical ingredients — essential oils, absolutes and plant-based fixatives sourced from Uganda and East Africa. We do not use parabens, phthalates, or synthetic musks.
How long do your fragrances last on skin?+
Our Eau de Parfum (EDP) concentration of 20% typically lasts 8–12 hours on skin depending on your body chemistry, skin type and the specific fragrance. Woody and musky notes tend to have stronger longevity than light citrus notes.
Do you offer a discovery or sample set?+
Yes! Our Discovery Mini Set includes 5 x 5ml samples of our most popular fragrances for UGX 45,000. It's the perfect way to find your signature Ekimuli scent before committing to a full bottle. Available in the shop.
Are your fragrances suitable for sensitive skin?+
All our fragrances are dermatologically tested and free from known common irritants. However, if you have very sensitive skin or known allergies to specific botanicals, we recommend testing on a small patch of skin first.
Returns & Refunds
What is your return policy?+
We accept returns on sealed, unopened products within 14 days of delivery. Due to the nature of perfume, opened bottles cannot be returned unless the product is defective. Please contact us on WhatsApp with photos of the item and your order number.
What if I receive a damaged or wrong item?+
We're sorry to hear that! Please WhatsApp us within 48 hours of delivery with photos of the damaged or incorrect item. We will arrange a replacement or full refund at no cost to you, including return shipping.
How long do refunds take?+
Refunds are processed within 2 business days of receiving and inspecting your returned item. Mobile Money refunds appear immediately; card refunds may take 3–5 business days depending on your bank.
Account & General
Do I need an account to order?+
No — you can check out as a guest without creating an account. However, creating an account lets you track orders, save wishlists, and earn loyalty points on future purchases.
Do you have a loyalty or rewards programme?+
Yes! The Ekimuli Rewards Programme gives you 1 point per UGX 1,000 spent. Accumulated points can be redeemed for discounts on future orders. Sign up in your account area to start earning.
Do you do wholesale or bulk orders?+
Yes — we offer wholesale pricing for retailers, salons, spas and event organisers. Minimum order is 20 units. Please contact us at hello@ekimuli.ug or via WhatsApp to discuss your requirements.
