Account

Do I need an account to place an order?
No. You can complete your purchase as a guest. With an account, however, you automatically join The Scent Journey with 50 welcome points and can manage your points, personal coupons, and progress in one place. If you simply want to shop now, an account is not required.

The Scent Journey

What is The Scent Journey?
The Scent Journey is YUMA's member programme. When you create an account, you automatically begin at Note with 50 welcome points. Earn more through purchases, reviews, referrals, quizzes, and polls, turn those points into discount coupons, and progress through four tiers with higher point multipliers and specific sample benefits plus shipping benefits for deliveries within Greece. Your full journey is available on the loyalty dashboard.
How do I move up a tier, and how long does it last?

Each tier unlocks when your completed purchases from the previous 12 months reach its threshold: €80 for Chord, €200 for Composition and €450 for Symphony. The counter is rolling: each new purchase is added, while purchases older than 12 months stop counting. If your tier is at risk of stepping down, you will see a notice on your loyalty dashboard with a grace period, giving you time to keep your status.

How do I redeem my points?

Choose an amount on your loyalty dashboard to create your personal coupon:

  • 100 points: €2.50 off
  • 200 points: €5 off
  • 400 points: €10 off
  • 600 points: €15 off
  • 1,000 points: €25 off

Each coupon can be used once and expires one calendar month after issue. Redemption cannot be reversed, so choose the amount you want to use on your next purchase.

How do referrals work?
Copy your personal link from the loyalty dashboard and share it. When someone creates an account through it, they receive a single-use 10% coupon. You earn 200 points when their first order is delivered. You can be rewarded for up to 20 referrals per year and track their status from your account.
How do I earn points in The Scent Journey?

Points are added when the corresponding eligible action is completed:

  • Join: 50 welcome points.
  • First order: another 50 points when it is delivered.
  • Purchases: whole euros in the eligible subtotal are multiplied by your 1× to 3× tier rate when the order is delivered.
  • Review: 50 points when published, plus another 50 if it includes at least one photo or video.
  • Referral: 200 points when the new member's first order is delivered, for up to 20 rewarded referrals a year.
  • Quizzes and polls: each active activity states its own reward before you take part.

Your balance and history are available on the loyalty dashboard.

What are The Scent Journey tiers and benefits?

There are four tiers, based on completed purchases from the previous 12 months:

  • Note, no threshold: 1× points, 50 welcome points, and another 50 with your first delivered order.
  • Chord, from €80: 1.5× points, a 15% lower free-shipping threshold for deliveries within Greece on eligible methods excluding DHL, and at least 1 extra sample when the order qualifies for samples.
  • Composition, from €200: 2× points, a 35% lower free-shipping threshold for deliveries within Greece on eligible methods excluding DHL, and at least 2 extra samples when the order qualifies for samples.
  • Symphony, from €450: 3× points, free shipping with no minimum for deliveries within Greece on eligible methods excluding DHL, and at least 3 extra samples when the order qualifies for samples.

The calculation is rolling: new purchases are added, while purchases older than 12 months stop counting. Samples come from the selection available at checkout, and benefits apply automatically when their conditions are met.

Discounts

What discount do I get when I sign up?

Creating an account gives you a 5% coupon for your first order. During registration, you can increase it:

  • +5% when you opt into email updates, for 10% in total
  • +5% when you opt into SMS and verify your mobile number, for up to 15% in total

These choices are made during registration, and the coupon is valid for one calendar month. Your new account also enrols you in YUMA's member programme, The Scent Journey, with 50 welcome points.

What do I get for reviewing a product?

Review a product you have received and you will get a 10% coupon for your next order, valid for 60 days.

  • Add a photo and the coupon becomes 15%.
  • Add a video and the coupon becomes 15%.
  • Add both photo and video to reach up to 20%.

Separately, The Scent Journey awards 50 points when the review is published and another 50 if it includes at least one photo or video. Including both does not double that point bonus. Media may be checked before publication, but this does not delay the coupon being issued.

Do I get a discount on more products in the same scent?

Yes. On eligible products, the discount applies automatically when your cart includes the same scent across multiple units or formats:

  • 2 products in the same scent: 5% off the eligible items
  • 3 or more: 10% off the eligible items

For example, you can carry one scent from a Candle into a Reed Diffuser or Fabric Mist without entering a code. Sets, add-ons, and Sample Kits are excluded. It can be combined with a coupon only when that coupon's own terms allow it.

Where can I find current offers?
When a weekly feature is active, you will find it on the homepage with its special price and availability period. No code is required because the price applies automatically to the eligible product. Any additional same-scent or coupon discount depends on the terms of that offer and coupon.
How do I use a discount coupon?

You can use one coupon per order. Enter its code in the coupon field at checkout. If you are signed in, your available personal coupons appear there so you can select one without remembering the code.

Each coupon may have its own conditions, including:

  • an expiry date and usage limit
  • a minimum spend or item count
  • exclusion of products already on sale
  • a percentage discount, fixed-value discount, or free shipping on eligible services

The exact terms are shown with the coupon. Applying a second code replaces the first.

Samples

What is the Sample Kit?
It is a separate paid discovery kit containing a selected range of YUMA scents, so you can try them before choosing a scent for your next purchase. Once it is delivered, you receive an equal-value coupon for a later eligible order. There is a limit of one Sample Kit per order; it can be cancelled only before dispatch and cannot be returned. The current contents and terms appear on the Sample Kit page. It is separate from complimentary checkout samples.
Can I add complimentary samples to my order?
Yes, when your cart qualifies for the samples currently available. At checkout, you will see exactly how many you can choose and which ones are available at that moment. Cart value, each sample's threshold, availability, and your tier in The Scent Journey all affect the selection. Chord, Composition, and Symphony add extra samples only when the order already qualifies for samples. This offer is separate from the paid Sample Kit.

Safety & composition

What do fragrance notes mean, and where can I find the ingredients?
Fragrance notes describe a scent's olfactory impression, not a literal ingredient list. The fragrance composition and product base vary by product and format. The product page and packaging contain the information relevant to that specific formulation. If you need clarification or an available document for a particular SKU, email [email protected] and name the product.
Does YUMA test products on animals?
No. YUMA neither conducts nor commissions animal testing on finished products.
How long can I leave a Candle burning?
Burn it for no more than 4 hours per session. On the first burn, let the melt pool reach the edges of the vessel without exceeding that limit. Before each later burn, trim the wick to 0.5 cm. This care supports an even burn and forms part of the conditions under which YUMA's current 200 g Candles reached 45-55 total burn hours in our own tests.
How do I use a Candle correctly and safely?

Follow the instructions supplied with the Candle and these essential steps:

  • Trim the wick to 0.5 cm before every burn.
  • On the first burn, let the melt pool reach the vessel's edges.
  • Do not exceed 4 hours per session, and stop using the Candle when 1-2 cm of wax remains at the base.
  • Keep it upright on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from draughts, heat sources, and flammable objects.
  • Never leave it unattended, and keep it away from children and pets.
  • Do not touch or move the vessel while the wax is liquid or hot, and never use water to extinguish it.

If the flame becomes unusually high or the vessel overheats, extinguish the Candle and let it cool before checking the wick.

How do I clean the vessel when my Candle is finished?
Stop burning when 1-2 cm of wax remains and let the vessel cool completely. Carefully remove any loose wax and wick base without scratching or forcing the glass, then wash with warm water and dish soap. Never pour melted wax or residue down the drain. Reuse the vessel only if it remains undamaged and is suitable for the new purpose. For recycling, follow your local rules for that material.
What wax base do you use in Candles, Wax Melts, and Wax Tablets?
Current 200 g Candles use a plant-based soy-wax base with no paraffin. In current Wax Melts and Wax Tablets, the plant-origin wax base consists of coconut wax and hydrogenated rapeseed wax, with no paraffin. These facts apply only to the wax base, not the complete fragranced product. Check each product page and packaging for its specific composition.
Why did you choose a soy-wax base for your Candles?
We chose it for our specific Candle formulation. The base, wick, vessel, and fragrance composition are tested together because a Candle's performance depends on the complete system, not one material in isolation. In YUMA's burn tests, the current 200 g Candles delivered 45-55 total burn hours with correct wick care and use according to the instructions. That is the result we can substantiate for our Candles, without borrowing blanket promises about every soy candle.
Are YUMA products “eco-friendly” or “non-toxic”?
We do not apply a blanket “eco-friendly” or “non-toxic” label to the entire collection because each format and formulation requires its own evidence. Instead of a vague umbrella claim, we publish specific facts where they have been verified, such as the type of base, the absence of an ingredient in a defined formulation, or the result of a particular test. You will find those details on the relevant product page and packaging, so it is clear exactly what each statement covers.
Can I use a fragrance product in a room with a pet?
There is no single answer that applies to every animal and every fragrance product. Never apply the product to a pet, keep liquids, vessels, and reeds where the animal cannot touch or swallow them, and follow that product's instructions. If your pet has a known respiratory, neurological, or other sensitivity, ask your veterinarian before use. If you notice discomfort, remove the product, ventilate the room, and contact a veterinarian. Seek urgent veterinary guidance if any product is swallowed.
Can I use a fragrance product in a room with an infant?
We do not give a blanket recommendation for using fragrance products in an infant's room. Paediatric guidance advises reducing air fresheners and strongly scented products in children's indoor environments. If you are considering a specific use, discuss it with your paediatrician first. Keep every product out of the infant's reach, never spray it on the child or on items and fabrics they touch directly, and follow the packaging instructions carefully.

B2B

How do I start a wholesale partnership with YUMA?

Choose your sector and submit the online application. You do not need to commit to an order at the application stage. Once the account has been reviewed and approved, you gain access to the relevant B2B catalogue with selected products, category minimums, quantity-tiered pricing, and a quote-request flow.

To choose the right sector or discuss a partnership before applying, email [email protected] or call +30 231 231 2380.

How are B2B prices and minimum quantities set?

There is no single percentage across the entire catalogue. Each approved account sees the terms relevant to its sector and category:

  • Prices excluding VAT, with any applicable VAT shown on the invoice.
  • A minimum quantity by category or product group.
  • Quantity-tiered discounts that update as the cart changes.
  • Current availability and the product range offered to that sector.

Submitting the cart creates a quote request, not a completed order. The sales team confirms availability, final terms, and payment method before the partnership proceeds. For clarification, email [email protected].
