Is SOSA's sandalwood sourced from Mysuru? No. Ameeri is Taif rose and Indian sandalwood. SOSA does not claim a Mysuru or Mysore sourcing connection for it or for any product.
What is a good gift if I don't know their taste? The pack of three from ₹1,055 holds Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, so the recipient chooses rather than you guessing.
2. No, the sandalwood is not claimed as Mysuru sandalwood. Ameeri is described as Taif rose and Indian sandalwood. SOSA does not upgrade that to a Mysuru or Mysore sourcing story, and it is not a Mysuru-based brand.
3. Mysuru's own sandalwood fame is real, and separate from this. Mysuru is genuinely well known for sandalwood as a city fact. That fame belongs to the city and its own producers, not to any SOSA product.
4. Pick the scent before you pick a plan. Adaa is the lightest, most neutral oil and a safe gift when you are not certain of someone's taste.
5. Don't know their taste? Buy the trio. The pack of three from ₹1,055 holds Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, so the recipient chooses.
And a portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
The honest note on Mysuru and sandalwood
Mysuru's association with sandalwood is real and well known, and it is worth stating plainly as a fact about the city rather than folding it into a SOSA product story. SOSA sells Ameeri, an attar of Taif rose and Indian sandalwood, and that description stops exactly there: SOSA does not claim its sandalwood is sourced from Mysuru, does not describe itself as a Mysuru or Karnataka brand, and makes no sourcing claim behind any product name in its range.
Mysuru's festival and family gifting rhythm
Mysuru is a calmer, smaller city than either Bengaluru or Hyderabad, and its gifting rhythm leans heavily on festivals and family occasions rather than office culture. A small, honestly priced attar fits that rhythm well: it is a considered gesture for a relative or family friend without needing to be a grand statement.

The SOSA attar edit
Every SOSA attar is an alcohol-free roll-on oil in 3ML, 6ML and 12ML. There is no alcohol spray eau de parfum in the range, and no invented gift packaging.
| Attar | Character | Best for | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adaa | Bergamot, cardamom, jasmine sambac - lightest, most neutral | A first gift, or anyone whose taste you are still learning | ₹379 |
| Ameeri | Taif rose and Indian sandalwood - no Mysuru sourcing claim | A slightly warmer, more classical gift | ₹385 |
| Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani pack of 3 | Rose and sandalwood, oud and saffron, night jasmine and rose | When you genuinely do not know what they like | ₹1,055 |
Versailles
Mysuru is a city I write about carefully, because its name and sandalwood are so closely tied together that it would be easy to borrow that reputation by accident. I would rather say plainly: our sandalwood is Indian sandalwood, not sourced from Mysuru, and we are not a Mysuru brand.
What I do think is true is that Mysuru's own festival and family gifting habits suit a small, honest attar well. A relative visiting for a festival does not need a grand gesture, they need a scent that was actually chosen for them.
We ship to Mysuru exactly as we ship everywhere else, and a portion of every order goes toward a girl's classroom through Nanhi Kali, wherever the order is going.
