What if I want the bridge without the deepest bottle? Then you buy individually. Mastani at ₹389 and Ameeri at ₹385 in 3ml gives you the two floral-led compositions on their own, at full price, because the trio price applies only to its own fixed three. Adaa at ₹379 is a third option at the light end - jasmine sambac and magnolia over white musk, vetiver and cedarwood.
How much of each does a 3ml give? Roughly 60 wears at one dab, which is SOSA's only published quantity figure and applies to the 3ml. Wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, and the drydown develops after the first thirty minutes - so a floral with a base is not the same thing in the first minutes as it is later on.
See the SOSA Attar Trio from ₹1,055 →
The bridge you are describing already exists in the published note lists, and it is worth knowing exactly where. Musk and soft wood are not a different world from floral - they are usually what sits underneath a floral, holding it up and carrying it into the drydown. So the step from a floral perfume to a floral with weight under it is a short one, and the step from there to a dry wood is longer. The question is whether a fixed set of three can be a graded bridge, and the honest answer is that two of its bottles are the bridge and the third is the far bank - because the deepest attar SOSA publishes is one of the three, and the box cannot be ordered without it.
The set most of these questions arrive at, and the one fact most of them get wrong: it is a fixed combination. The SOSA Attar Trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 in 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 in 3 x 12ml, against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 bought singly. All three bottles come in the size you pick, Adaa is not in it, and nobody chooses the three. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle.
Quick answers — read this first
Can an attar trio bridge floral into musk and soft woods? Two of its three bottles do exactly that. Mastani is night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka. Ameeri is Taif rose and Persian saffron over Indian sandalwood, with amber and white musk. The third is Nawaab, published as the deepest of the four - white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf - and the published trio is fixed at ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml, so it comes with all three.What if I want the bridge without the deepest bottle?

The short answer
Short answer: Two of the three attars in the published SOSA trio are the bridge you describe. Mastani is jasmine and Damask rose over sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka. Ameeri is Taif rose and saffron over sandalwood, with amber and white musk. The third, Nawaab, is published as the deepest of the four. The trio is fixed at Rs 1,055 in 3 x 3ml.
The pick: The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when the deepest bottle belongs in the gift, or Mastani at ₹389 and Ameeri at ₹385 bought individually when it does not.
Why: Musk and soft wood are usually the base under a floral rather than the opposite of it, so the published note lists show where the bridge sits. What they cannot show is the point at which the deepest bottle in the range stops being a bridge and becomes a jump.
In this guide
Knowing somebody's signature fragrance is more information than most gift buyers have, and it still does not answer the question, because the next bottle is not the same bottle. What three small attars buy you is evidence rather than a guess - three things to put on skin over a week. What the published trio is not is a set you assemble: it is one fixed combination of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, in whichever single size you choose. And no page can tell you what anybody will make of any of them.

Straight answer
My mother has always worn floral perfumes and I want to introduce her to something slightly different without jumping straight into a very dark fragrance. Could an attar trio bridge floral, musk and soft woods?
Two thirds of it can, and the last third is the thing to decide about. Musk and soft wood are usually what sits under a floral rather than an alternative to it, which is why this bridge is shorter than it sounds. Mastani is the clearest example in the range: night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose on top, with Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka underneath - a floral that keeps going after the flowers. Ameeri is the other half of the bridge: Taif rose and Persian saffron over Indian sandalwood, with amber, white musk and a measured oudh in the base. The third bottle is Nawaab, which SOSA publishes as the deepest of the four - white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, dry rather than sweet. The SOSA Attar Trio is a fixed combination of those three, with all three bottles in the size you select: ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 in 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 in 3 x 12ml, against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 bought singly. It cannot be ordered as two bottles and nothing can be taken out of it. So the decision is unusually clean, and it is yours. If the deepest attar in the range belongs in the gift as the far end of the bridge, the box is the purchase. If it does not, the two floral-led bottles bought individually - Mastani at ₹389 and Ameeri at ₹385 in 3ml - are the honest alternative, at full price. There is also Adaa, published as the lightest of the four and sold separately from ₹379, which carries jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood: floral, musk and soft wood led from the bright end rather than the deep one. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with roughly 60 wears in a 3ml and the drydown developing after the first thirty minutes. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
Two of the three are the bridge. The third is the deepest attar SOSA publishes, and the box is fixed.
The short version: the 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 if the deepest attar belongs in the gift, Mastani at ₹389 and Ameeri at ₹385 bought individually if it does not, and Adaa from ₹379 for the lightest version of floral, musk and soft wood.
The SOSA Attar Trio from ₹1,055
Three things that decide whether this is a bridge or a leap
The thing to understand first is that floral, musk and soft wood are not three separate categories in a perfume; they are usually three layers of the same one. These three things decide whether the published set is a bridge or a leap.
01
Where the bridge already is
Musk and soft wood usually sit under a floral, not opposite it
White musk, sandalwood and cedarwood are base materials. In a great many floral compositions they are already present, holding the flowers up and carrying them into the drydown - which, in an attar, develops after the first thirty minutes. So the move you are describing is often not a change of direction so much as a change of proportion: the same layers, with more weight at the bottom. Mastani is the clearest published example - night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose on top, Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka beneath. Ameeri does the same thing with rose and saffron over Indian sandalwood, amber and white musk.
Tip: The bridge is usually already in the bottle they wear. It is just not carrying much weight.
02
What the box contains
Three fixed bottles, and the deepest one cannot be left out
The SOSA Attar Trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, always, with all three bottles in the single size you select - ₹1,055 for 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 for 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 for 3 x 12ml, against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 bought singly. Two of those three are the bridge. Nawaab is not: SOSA publishes it as the deepest of the four - white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf.
That is the whole decision. If a very deep composition does not belong in this gift, the box is the wrong purchase, because it cannot be ordered without that bottle and no substitution is offered. The route that gives you the two floral-led attars on their own is two individual purchases - Mastani at ₹389 and Ameeri at ₹385 in 3ml - at full price, with no trio price on them.

03
The light-end version
The same three ideas exist at the other end of the range
Worth knowing before you decide, because it is easy to miss. Adaa is published as the lightest of the four, and its note list is bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood. Floral, musk and soft wood are all present - jasmine and magnolia on top, white musk and cedarwood underneath - but led from the bright end rather than the deep one. It is ₹379 in 3ml, ₹669 in 6ml and ₹1,149 in 12ml, sold on its own, and it is not part of the published trio. Which makes it the smallest possible version of the step you are describing, and a separate purchase rather than an element of the box.
Tip: Adaa carries the same three ideas from the bright end instead of the deep one.
The bottle the trio does not contain
Adaa, and why it matters to half these questions
SOSA publishes four attars. Three of them are in the trio and one is not. Adaa - bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac and white musk - is published as the lightest of the four and a daytime attar, and it is sold on its own at ₹379 in 3ml, ₹669 in 6ml and ₹1,149 in 12ml. That matters because the trio page itself lists a reason not to buy the trio: it is an evening set of depth, warmth and floral, and somebody who wears bright, light, citrus-led fragrance is not the buyer for it. If what you know about their taste is that it is fresh, the honest route is Adaa rather than the box - and if you want Adaa alongside two others, that is three individual bottles at full price, because the trio cannot be recomposed.
See Adaa from ₹379 →
Work it out in this order
Settle the one question that decides this, then pick the size
- Decide whether a very deep oud belongs in this gift at all.
- If yes, the trio at Rs 1,055 is two bridge bottles and the deep one.
- If no, buy Mastani at Rs 389 in 3ml and Ameeri at Rs 385 in 3ml.
- For the lightest version of the same idea, Adaa is Rs 379 in 3ml.
The SOSA principle
A bridge only works if both banks are within reach. The published set gives you two steps and then the far end, and there is no version of it that stops halfway.
Which makes this an unusually clean decision: one bottle in the box decides whether the box is right.
Four published note lists, taken as one gradient
Set the four side by side and the gradient is easy to see. Adaa - bergamot and green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac and magnolia, over white musk, vetiver and cedarwood - is floral, musk and wood at the light end. Ameeri is Taif rose and Persian saffron over Indian sandalwood, with amber, white musk and a measured oudh: the same architecture with more weight below it. Mastani is night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka - the floral position with the most base under it. Nawaab is white royal oud with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, published as the deepest of the four, and it is wood first rather than flower first. Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani are the published trio.
The SOSA gift edit
Four ways to make the step, and where each one stops
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| Another floral, full size | No bridge at all. It is the calmest purchase on this list and the one that changes nothing, which is presumably why you are reading this instead of buying it. |
| The SOSA Attar Trio, 3 x 3ml at ₹1,055 | Two floral-led bottles and the deepest attar in the range, in one gift-ready box, ten per cent under the same three bought singly. It is fixed: Nawaab comes with it, and no substitution is offered. |
| Mastani at ₹389 and Ameeri at ₹385, bought individually | The bridge without the far bank - a night floral over sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka, and a rose-and-saffron composition over sandalwood, amber and white musk. Full price on both, because the trio price covers only its own fixed three. |
| Adaa at ₹379 on its own | The smallest step: floral, musk and soft wood led from the bright end, bergamot first. It is the lightest of the four and the one attar the published box does not hold, so it is always a separate purchase. |
What the three sizes actually buy you
3ml, 6ml or 12ml - and roughly sixty wears in the smallest
All three trio tiers contain the same three attars; the only variable is how much of each. ₹1,055 buys 3 x 3ml, and the published figure for a 3ml is roughly 60 wears at one dab - which is the number that makes a discovery gift a real one rather than a set of samples, because it is enough to wear a scent on an ordinary Tuesday and not just sniff it in a shop. ₹1,859 buys 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 buys 3 x 12ml, the largest published size of each. Against the same bottles bought singly those are savings of ₹118, ₹204 and ₹354. The trio ships with all three bottles in the same size - there is no mixed-size set, and SOSA states that mixing sizes means buying the three individually and losing the trio price.

Format and practical notes, identical across all four bottles. These are concentrated oils with a built-in dab applicator - the published instruction is to dab on pulse points and not to rub, which also means the quantity is decided by the wearer each time rather than by a spray head. Alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant and skin-safe, carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba and hand-blended in small batches in Pune. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, the drydown develops after the first thirty minutes, and a 3ml runs to roughly 60 wears at one dab. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin and not directly onto a saree or a scarf. The trio's three bottles come in a single gift-ready box, which is the only presentation SOSA publishes.
₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 in 3 x 6ml, ₹3,189 in 3 x 12ml. Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - the same three every time, all in the size you pick, in one gift-ready box.
from ₹1,055
₹379, ₹669 and ₹1,149. Bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, white musk. The lightest of the four and the one the trio does not contain - the honest answer whenever the question is a fresh or daytime one.
from ₹379
₹1,149 to ₹1,199 for a single 12ml. The alternative to the trio when you already know the direction and the useful thing is depth in one bottle rather than breadth across three.
from ₹1,149
One message, one honest recommendation
Tell SOSA what they already wear, anything they have said they dislike, whether this is a first attar or an addition, and what you want to spend - and you will be told which size and which bottles, including the times the honest answer is Adaa on its own from ₹379 rather than the trio.
Musk and soft wood are not the opposite of a floral. They are what a floral stands on, and a bridge is mostly a question of how much of it shows.
— Sonal Sahani, SOSA
The SOSA gifting range
Two questions settle almost every attar gift where you already know what they wear, and the first one is not price. Are you buying breadth or depth? Breadth means three bottles to put on skin over a week, which is what the published trio is for; depth means one 12ml in a direction you are already confident about. Then: does what you know about their taste sit inside what the trio actually contains? The trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - warm rose and saffron, white royal oud, and night-jasmine with Damask rose. It has no light, fresh or citrus-led bottle in it, because Adaa is the lightest of the four and is sold separately from ₹379. Price follows those two answers rather than leading them.
The SOSA range, sorted by how much it asks of the person receiving it
Start from what the gift demands, not from what it costs
| Product | What it is | What it is for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOSA Attar Trio - 3 x 3ml | Three to smell, not one to guess | ₹1,055 for Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani in 3ml each, against ₹1,173 bought singly. The published figure for a 3ml is roughly 60 wears at one dab - enough to actually live with a scent rather than sniff it | ₹1,055 |
| SOSA Attar Trio - 3 x 6ml | The middle size | ₹1,859 against ₹2,063 bought singly. The same three attars; the trio ships with all three bottles in the same size | ₹1,859 |
| SOSA Attar Trio - 3 x 12ml | Three full bottles | ₹3,189 against ₹3,543 bought singly. The largest published size of each, in one gift-ready box | ₹3,189 |
| Adaa - 3ml, 6ml, 12ml | The lightest in the range | ₹379, ₹669 and ₹1,149. Bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac and white musk. Adaa is not in the trio - SOSA publishes it as the daytime attar and sells it separately | from ₹379 |
| Ameeri - 3ml, 6ml, 12ml | Warm, rose and saffron led | ₹385, ₹679 and ₹1,165. Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, Persian saffron, a measured oudh and amber | from ₹385 |
| Mastani - 3ml, 6ml, 12ml | Floral depth | ₹389, ₹685 and ₹1,179. Night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka | from ₹389 |
| Nawaab - 3ml, 6ml, 12ml | The deepest in the range | ₹399, ₹699 and ₹1,199. White royal oud led, with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf. SOSA publishes this as the deepest of the four | from ₹399 |
| SOSA solid body perfumes - 15g | Worn, and smaller still | ₹459 to ₹549. The other worn format in the range. No wear-time figure is published for these, so this page does not give one | from ₹459 |
| SOSA reed diffusers | A room, not a person | From ₹749 in 50ml. Listed here only to rule it out: a reed diffuser scents a room and an attar is worn. They are not substitutes, and a fragrance-taste question is not answered by a bottle that sits on a shelf | from ₹749 |
The single most useful fact on this page: the published Attar Trio is one fixed combination. It is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, every time, and all three bottles ship in the size you select. Adaa cannot be substituted into it, and there is no mixed-size trio - SOSA's own page says that if you want a different three, or three different sizes, you buy the bottles individually and the trio discount does not apply. Published across all five pages: 6 to 8 hours of wear per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, a built-in dab applicator (dab on pulse points, do not rub), a carrier of Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, and alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant formulations hand-blended in small batches in Pune. A 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin rather than on fabric. Prices above are the published selling prices; bulk orders are welcome and custom label or logo on product is available, with quantities settled on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531. SOSA is an Indian fragrance house based in Pune, sending orders across India. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
The honest spec sheet
What the SOSA attar pages publish, and what they do not
Everything below is on the live product pages. Anything not on this list is not something a page like this should state.
- The four attars and their prices - Adaa, bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac and white musk, ₹379 / ₹669 / ₹1,149; Ameeri, Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, Persian saffron, soft oudh and amber, ₹385 / ₹679 / ₹1,165; Mastani, night-blooming jasmine, Damask rose, Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka, ₹389 / ₹685 / ₹1,179; Nawaab, white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, ₹399 / ₹699 / ₹1,199. In 3ml, 6ml and 12ml. Those four are the entire attar range.
- The trio - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani at ₹1,055, ₹1,859 and ₹3,189 for 3 x 3ml, 3 x 6ml and 3 x 12ml, against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 bought singly. It is one fixed combination, all three bottles in the same size, and Adaa is not in it. A different three, or mixed sizes, means buying individually at full price.
- Wear - 6 to 8 hours on skin per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown developing after the first 30 minutes. A 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab. That is the only quantity figure SOSA gives for an attar.
- The format - a concentrated oil attar with a built-in dab applicator; dab on pulse points and do not rub. Carrier of Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba. Alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant, skin-safe, heat-stable to 45 degrees C, hand-blended in small batches in Pune by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles trained. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin rather than fabric.
- Relative depth, in SOSA's own words - Adaa is published as the lightest of the four and Nawaab as the deepest, with Ameeri and Mastani between them. That ordering is published; no number from any product page is quoted here, and no claim is made about how any of them behaves on a particular person.
- Not published, and therefore never stated here: any sillage, projection or room-distance figure; any shelf life, expiry, concentration or oil percentage; any seasonal or skin-chemistry claim beyond "longer on warm or oily skin"; any bulk rate, minimum quantity, price break or lead time; any presentation beyond the trio's single gift-ready box and a custom label or logo on product; and anything whatsoever about what a recipient will like or how a gift will be received. Those go to WhatsApp +91 96192 18531.
Know what they wear and not what to buy next? Tell SOSA on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 four things: the fragrance they already own and wear, anything they have said they dislike, whether this is a first attar or an addition to a collection, and roughly what you want to spend. You will get one straight answer rather than a catalogue - including the cases where the honest answer is a single 3ml at ₹379 to ₹399 rather than the trio, or Adaa on its own because the trio is published as an evening set. What is not on this page, because SOSA does not publish it: any sillage, projection or room-distance figure; any shelf life, expiry or concentration; any claim about how an attar behaves on a particular person; any bulk rate, minimum quantity or lead time; and anything at all about what a recipient will think. What is: 6 to 8 hours of wear per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, a drydown that develops after the first 30 minutes, roughly 60 wears in a 3ml at one dab, a built-in dab applicator, a carrier of Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, and alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant formulations made in India. On presentation: the trio's three bottles ship in a single gift-ready box, which is published; beyond that, custom label or logo on product is the one branding option, and there is no custom box, printed sleeve or insert card. Where SOSA is: an Indian fragrance house based in Pune, sending orders across India, with no shop, stockist, counter or warehouse in any other city.

A note from Sonal
The message we get most often on WhatsApp is not what should I buy. It is a more specific and more interesting problem: I know exactly what she wears. I have known for years. I just cannot buy it again. That person is not short of information. They are short of a next step, which is a different thing entirely, and almost nothing written about fragrance gifting treats it as different.
Here is the part I would want them to hold on to. Knowing somebody's signature tells you where they started, not where they would go. A person who has worn one bottle for a decade has usually not rejected the alternatives - they have never had three of them on their own skin at the same time. So the useful gift is not a better guess at one bottle. It is evidence: several things to wear, on separate days, and the chance to notice which one they reach for without being asked to be polite about it.
The part I will be blunt about, because our own product page is blunt about it: the trio is one fixed set. Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, all three in whichever size you choose. It is not assembled around a person's taste, Adaa is not in it, and if somebody wears bright citrus and nothing else, that box is the wrong box - Adaa on its own is the honest answer, and it costs a great deal less. I would rather lose the larger sale than have three bottles sit unopened on somebody's dressing table.
And the thing nobody selling fragrance should pretend to know: I cannot tell you what they will like. I can tell you what is in each bottle, that one dab carries six to eight hours, that a 3ml is roughly sixty wears, and that all four are alcohol-free and blended here in Pune. What happens when a particular person puts a particular attar on a particular wrist is genuinely theirs to find out - and giving them three ways to find it out is, I think, the whole point.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy the trio without the deepest attar in it?
No. The trio is a fixed combination of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, and Nawaab, which SOSA publishes as the deepest of the four, is always one of the three. If you want only the two floral-led bottles, you buy Mastani at Rs 389 in 3ml and Ameeri at Rs 385 in 3ml, individually and at full price.
Which SOSA attar is nearest to a floral with a soft base?
Mastani. It is published as night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka - a floral with weight under it rather than a floral on its own. Ameeri is the other floral-led one: Taif rose and Persian saffron over Indian sandalwood, with amber and white musk.
Is there a lighter way to introduce musk and soft woods?
Adaa carries white musk, vetiver and cedarwood under bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac and magnolia, and SOSA publishes it as the lightest of the four. It is Rs 379 in 3ml, Rs 669 in 6ml and Rs 1,149 in 12ml, and it is sold on its own rather than as part of the published set.
How long does one bottle last, and how many wearings is that?
SOSA publishes 6 to 8 hours of wear per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, and roughly 60 wears in a 3ml at one dab. No figure is published for the 6ml or the 12ml, so none is given here. The drydown develops after the first thirty minutes, which is the part a counter test never reaches.
Does an attar work differently from a spray perfume?
It is a different format rather than a different result. These are concentrated oils, alcohol-free and DPG-free, applied with a built-in dab applicator to pulse points and not rubbed in. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle. Attar oils can stain light silks, so the published guidance is to apply to skin rather than directly onto fabric.
Take the next step
Decide whether you are buying breadth or depth, then stop deliberating
The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when the point is to put three different things on their skin and find out - roughly 60 wears in each bottle, so it is a real trial rather than a sample. The 3 x 6ml at ₹1,859 or 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 when you already expect all three to be worn. A single 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 when you know the direction and breadth would be wasted. And Adaa on its own from ₹379 when what you know about their taste is that it is light and fresh, because the trio is published as an evening set. Tell SOSA what they already wear on WhatsApp.
Not sure which one suits the person you are buying for? Send SOSA their age, whether they drive, whether they like their home scented and your budget on WhatsApp, and you will get an honest answer - including when the cheaper product is the better gift.

About this guide: Written by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles-trained founder and perfumer at SOSA Home & Body. Product recommendations reflect the SOSA range; the reasoning about how to buy fragrance for somebody whose taste you partly know applies to any brand.Specifications verified from the live SOSA product pages, September 2026: SOSA publishes four attars and one pack of three, and that is the entire attar range. Adaa - bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood - is ₹379 in 3ml, ₹669 in 6ml and ₹1,149 in 12ml. Ameeri - Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, Persian saffron, soft oudh, amber and white musk - is ₹385, ₹679 and ₹1,165. Mastani - night-blooming jasmine, Damask rose, Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka - is ₹389, ₹685 and ₹1,179. Nawaab - white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf - is ₹399, ₹699 and ₹1,199. The SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed combination - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - at ₹1,055 for 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 for 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 for 3 x 12ml, against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 for the same bottles bought singly. All three bottles in a trio ship in the same size and in a single gift-ready box. Adaa is not in the trio; SOSA publishes it as the daytime attar, sold separately, and the trio page states that a different combination or mixed sizes means buying individually without the trio price. Published across all five pages: 6 to 8 hours of wear per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin; a drydown that develops after the first 30 minutes; roughly 60 wears in a 3ml at one dab; a built-in dab applicator, dabbed on pulse points rather than rubbed; a carrier of Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba; alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant and skin-safe; heat-stable to 45 degrees C; hand-blended in small batches in Pune; country of origin India. Attar oils can stain light silks and are applied to skin rather than fabric. For comparison: SOSA solid body perfumes are ₹459 to ₹549 in 15g and are also worn, though no wear-time figure is published for them; SOSA reed diffusers from ₹749 scent a room rather than a person and are not an alternative to an attar. What is not published, and is therefore not stated here: any sillage, projection or room-distance figure; any shelf life, expiry, concentration or oil percentage; any seasonal or skin-chemistry claim beyond "longer on warm or oily skin"; any bulk rate, minimum quantity, price break or lead time; and any presentation beyond the trio's single gift-ready box and a custom label or logo on product. Limits of this guide: no claim is made anywhere on this page about mood, stress, calm, sleep, headaches, sensitivity or wellbeing, in either direction. No claim is made about what any recipient will like. Nothing here states or implies that a named person will enjoy, prefer, adopt or be impressed by any fragrance, that a scent will suit them or become their signature, or that a gift will be well received; SOSA publishes no information of that kind and none is invented here. No third-party perfume, perfume house or brand is named, and no resemblance, alternative or dupe claim is made about any SOSA product. No rating, review count, strength score or customer name from any product page is cited, and no competitor or category of competing product is characterised. No statement is made about what any community, religion or family wears or gives, and no etiquette rule is presented as fact. No fragrance is assigned to a gender; SOSA publishes all four attars as wearable by anyone. Bulk orders are welcome and custom label or logo on product is available; that is the only branding option, and quantities are settled on WhatsApp. SOSA Home & Body is an Indian fragrance house based in Pune, Maharashtra, sending orders across India, with no shop, showroom, stockist, counter or warehouse in any other city.
