What drives consumption most? Intensity and duty cycle, then run-hours — not floor area. A store scented gently for 10 hours uses far less than one blasting for 12.
What does that cost? From about ₹999 a month per machine in Hotel Collection refills at gentle-to-moderate settings; more if you run strong or run multiple units.
Vaayu · scheduled₹11,999 The single biggest factor is how hard the machine works — the ratio of spray time to pause. A Vaayu on a gentle cycle (short bursts, long pauses) can use roughly a third of what the same unit uses on a strong cycle. Because a small or well-sized electronics store should be scented gently anyway — especially in air-conditioning — running it correctly is also running it cheaply. Over-scenting costs you twice: in oil and in a room that reads heavy.
Vaayu · scheduled₹11,999 Consumption is roughly linear with hours on. A store open ten hours that schedules the machine to trading hours uses meaningfully less than one that leaves it running overnight or all weekend. This is where the Vaayu's app timers (1/4/8/24h) pay for themselves — on before doors, off after close, nothing wasted scenting an empty shop at 2am. Never chase consistency by leaving it on around the clock; schedule it instead.
Hotel CollectionFrom ₹299 Two machines use roughly twice the oil of one; a ducted Aangan scales with the volume it feeds. Technology matters too: waterless nebulisers atomise neat oil, so oil is the whole cost; ultrasonic units like the Sukoon dilute fragrance in water, using less fragrance per session but needing daily water top-ups. Neither is cheaper in every case — it depends on your settings — but waterless is the stock-safe choice near equipment.

Facts verified August 2026: Ambient scent research consistently associates pleasant, congruent scenting with longer dwell time, improved venue evaluations and stronger brand recall at moderate effect sizes; congruence and gentle intensity outperform strong scenting in replicated studies, and no scent effect survives unclean or poorly ventilated premises. Olfactory memory is unusually durable, which is the mechanism behind signature retail scents. The principal risk to electronic equipment from diffusion is added moisture and residue rather than fragrance itself, which is the basis of this range's waterless recommendation. SOSA systems: Boond 300ml (₹799) and Sukoon 500ml (₹1,799) ultrasonic units run the water-based Hotel Collection fragrance (from ₹299; refills 100ml ₹999); SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) is a waterless cold-air nebulising machine, up to 1000m³, 400ml tank, Bluetooth app and 1/4/8/24h timers, under 38 dB; SOSA Aangan (₹25,999) is an HVAC nebulising system covering up to 3,000m³ (roughly 8,000-10,000 sq ft). The Hotel Collection scents are SOSA's own interpretations; SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel brand. Prices and availability are subject to change - see the live product pages.
Oil use is the running cost nobody quotes you upfront, and it swings more with your settings than your store size. The honest range: a single showroom Vaayu uses roughly 100–300ml a month — from about ₹999 — depending on intensity, run-hours and duty cycle.
Quick answers — read this first
How much oil per month? For one Vaayu run through trading hours: roughly 100–300ml a month. Gentle settings sit at the low end, strong settings at the high end.What drives consumption most? Intensity and duty cycle, then run-hours — not floor area. A store scented gently for 10 hours uses far less than one blasting for 12.
What does that cost? From about ₹999 a month per machine in Hotel Collection refills at gentle-to-moderate settings; more if you run strong or run multiple units.
The short answer
Short answer: A single showroom SOSA Vaayu typically uses roughly 100–300ml of nebulising oil per month — from about ₹999 in refills — with the figure driven far more by intensity, duty cycle and run-hours than by the store's floor area; water-based ultrasonic units like the Sukoon use less fragrance but need daily water.
The pick: the SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) for showrooms - waterless, so it adds no humidity near your stock, with app scheduling that maps to trading hours. Small stores from ₹1,799; ducted showrooms from ₹25,999.

Straight answer
How much fragrance oil does an electronics store need per month?
1. Start from ~100–300ml. That is the realistic monthly band for one Vaayu across gentle to strong settings.
2. Set intensity first. It is the biggest lever — a gentle duty cycle can use a third of what a strong one does for the same hours.
3. Count your run-hours. Ten open-to-close hours uses less than a machine left on overnight; schedule it to trading hours.
4. Multiply by units. Two machines roughly double the oil; a ducted Aangan scales with the volume it serves.
5. Buy the right refill size. A 100ml refill suits a gentle single unit; 300ml is more economical for moderate or multi-unit use.

Cost per month, told honestly
I would rather quote you a range than a falsely precise number, because your own settings will move it more than anything I can print. For a typical single-Vaayu showroom run gently to moderately through trading hours, plan on roughly 100–230ml a month, which is from about ₹999 and up in Hotel Collection refills. That is genuinely modest against a store selling ₹50,000 laptops — the scent is one of the cheapest things on your floor.
The figure climbs if you run strong, run long, or run several machines, which is exactly why I push gentle scheduling: it is the tasteful choice and the economical one at the same time. If you want to control the bill precisely, audition your blend in the small 15ml Hotel Collection size first, settle on one signature, then buy the 300ml refill for the best per-millilitre price once you know what you are running.

Oil use follows your settings, not your square footage — a gently-run store spends a fraction of what a blasting one does for the same floor.
Schedule to trading hours, keep intensity low, and the running cost stays small and predictable.

The SOSA commercial edit
Whichever kind of electronics business you run, the system logic is the same: one signature, sized to the space, scheduled so it never depends on a staff member's memory, and waterless wherever it runs near stock. The Hotel Collection blends - SOSA's own interpretations of the world's finest hotel scents - run across the range, and everything is supported from Pune. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.

Honest notes for store owners: ambient scenting's effects on dwell time, perceived quality and recall are real but moderate - they compound a well-run store and rescue nothing; premises must be clean and well-ventilated first, because fragrance crowns good air and never substitutes for it. Ultrasonic systems (Boond, Sukoon) add a small amount of humidity and run the water-based Hotel Collection fragrance; the Vaayu and the HVAC systems run waterless nebulising oil - near open equipment and in humid coastal cities, prefer waterless. The Hotel Collection scents are SOSA's own interpretations inspired by the world's finest hotels; SOSA is an independent Indian fragrance house, not affiliated with or endorsed by any hotel brand. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
For large-format showrooms SOSA Aangan · HVAC Nebulising Diffuser ₹25,999 Sits beside your air-handling unit and carries one signature through every zone the ducting serves - up to 3,000m³. For a showroom with an entrance, a display floor, demo zones and billing, it means one refill point instead of six, and no visible machines on the floor. View this system →

Frequently asked questions
How much oil does one Vaayu use a month?
Roughly 100–300ml depending on intensity and hours — gentle 10-hour days at the low end, strong 12-hour days at the high end. That is from about ₹999 a month in refills.
Does a bigger store use proportionally more oil?
Less than you would think. Intensity and run-hours drive consumption more than floor area; a large store scented gently can use less than a small one blasting. Size decides how many machines, not how thirsty each one is.
Is waterless or ultrasonic cheaper to run?
How do I keep the oil bill down?
What refill size should I buy?
A 100ml refill suits a gentle single unit; 300ml is more economical once you run moderate settings or multiple machines. Match the size to your monthly use so oil does not sit open too long.
Predictable running cost
Budget ~100–300ml a month per machine — and settings, not size, decide where you land
Run the Vaayu gently on a schedule and the oil bill stays small. Audition blends in 15ml, commit, then buy 300ml refills for the best price.
