What is the formulation position? An oil carrier with no added ethanol, and no intentionally added DEP. Supplier IFRA conformity statements, declarable-allergen lists and a finished-product safety assessment at the actual selling concentration, all shareable per product.
What will SOSA not claim? We do not describe the attars using words like chemical-free or hypoallergenic, we do not claim analytical phthalate absence, we do not give longevity figures, and we do not predict whether your skin will react.
Everything verified, in one place
A brand you have not bought from is asking you to take a risk, and the honest way to reduce that risk is to make the information easy rather than to be charming about it. So a few things that are not in the product descriptions. We are a small operation based in Pune, founded by Sonal Sahani, who trained at ISIPCA in Versailles, and the attars are composed fragrances rather than traditional distillates. That matters for what you should expect: they are consistent between purchases, they are designed, and they are not Kannauj attars. If what you want is a traditional distillate, a Kannauj specialist is a better destination than us and we would rather say so. On the material names in our titles, we use them to describe the architecture of each composition, and whether a given material is present as a natural extract or as a formulated accord is a product-level fact we will state on request. Our prices are character prices rather than rare-natural prices, and the fact that four attars sit within twenty rupees of each other at 3ml tells you that none of them is carrying an unusual material cost. On what to expect in wear: oil-carried fragrance sits close to the skin with low projection, so you will notice it more than the room does, and it marks delicate fabric more readily than a spray would. If you want to be noticed from across a room, we are the wrong purchase. And a portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
What to buy first, and why small
What to buy first: Adaa at ₹379 if you want the lightest and cheapest test of whether oil-carried fragrance suits you; Ameeri at ₹385 if you want warm rose and wood; Mastani at ₹389 if you want florals with depth; Nawaab at ₹399 if you want oud and saffron. If you cannot choose, the trio at ₹1,055 gives you three of them at 3ml for ₹118 less than buying them separately. And if you have a reaction history, ask for the allergen list first and take it to a dermatologist rather than buying and hoping.
| Scent | Why it suits the mood |
|---|---|
| Adaa · ₹379 / ₹669 / ₹1,149 | Bergamot, green cardamom, jasmine sambac and a white musk accord. The lightest and the sensible first purchase |
| Ameeri · ₹385 / ₹679 / ₹1,165 | Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, saffron and soft oudh. Warm, festive and closest to traditional character |
| Mastani · ₹389 / ₹685 / ₹1,179 | Night-blooming jasmine, Damask rose and oudh. The most floral, and the fullest allergen list to review |
| Nawaab · ₹399 / ₹699 / ₹1,199 | White royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and Kashmir saffron. The most declarative, and the most questioned name |

The SOSA attar range
Every SOSA attar is formulated with an oil carrier and no added ethanol, with no intentionally added DEP, and is made in small batches in India. Each comes in 3ml, 6ml and 12ml so that a first purchase can be small. Here is the range, and what we think you should interrogate on each one.
| Product | Where it sits | What it is, and what to ask us about it | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adaa attar 3ml | Daytime · the lightest way in | Bergamot, green cardamom, jasmine sambac and white musk. The cheapest honest test of whether oil-based fragrance suits your skin at all | ₹379 |
| Ameeri attar 3ml | Festive · rose and sandalwood | Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, saffron and soft oudh. The one to ask the sourcing questions about, because the name makes claims worth checking | ₹385 |
| Mastani attar 3ml | Evening · jasmine and rose | Night-blooming jasmine, Damask rose and oudh. Floral-heavy, so the page to read first if florals have troubled your skin before | ₹389 |
| Nawaab attar 3ml | Statement · oud and saffron | White royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and Kashmir saffron. Our most-questioned name, and the one we most expect you to ask us to substantiate | ₹399 |
| Attar trio 3ml | Three at once · cheaper than three | Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani together. Bought singly the three 3ml bottles come to ₹1,173, so the trio saves ₹118 | ₹1,055 |
| Beast solid perfume 15g | No bottle · no spill | An alcohol-free solid body perfume. A different format for the same requirement, useful if a rollerball applicator is the part that worries you | ₹549 |
Each attar comes in 3ml, 6ml and 12ml. Adaa is ₹379 / ₹669 / ₹1,149; Ameeri ₹385 / ₹679 / ₹1,165; Mastani ₹389 / ₹685 / ₹1,179; Nawaab ₹399 / ₹699 / ₹1,199. The three-attar trio is ₹1,055 / ₹1,859 / ₹3,189, against ₹1,173 / ₹2,063 / ₹3,543 for the same three bought singly, so the trio saves ₹118, ₹204 or ₹354 depending on size. If you have reacted to a fragrance before, buy the 3ml: the saving on a larger bottle is a poor trade against a 12ml bottle of something your skin dislikes.

Versailles
I could sell more attar by writing "chemical-free" on the bottle. I will not, and I want to explain why in a way that is useful to you rather than flattering to us. Every fragrance ever made is chemicals. Rose oil is several hundred chemicals that a plant assembled. The word is not a safety claim; it is a word chosen because it tests well.
The same goes for "hypoallergenic" and "safe for everyone". No ordinary fragrance product can substantiate either. A skin-applied perfume is a product that a small number of people will react to, and a brand that tells you otherwise is either not thinking carefully or hoping you will not.
What I can do is tell you what we know and show you the paper. Our attars are formulated with an oil carrier and no added ethanol. There is no intentionally added DEP. We hold supplier IFRA conformity statements for the concentrates, the declarable-allergen lists that come with them, and a safety assessment of the finished attar at the strength we actually sell it at. Ask me for any of that on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 and you will get it, per product, with the formula percentages withheld because those are the recipe and not the safety information.
And where I cannot answer, I will say so rather than improvise. If you have reacted to fragrance before, I am not the right person to tell you whether you will react to mine - a dermatologist with our allergen list in hand is. Buy the 3ml.

SOSA formulation and documentation position: SOSA attars are formulated with an oil carrier and no added ethanol, and contain no intentionally added diethyl phthalate. SOSA holds supplier IFRA conformity statements for the fragrance concentrates used in its attars, the declarable-allergen lists supplied with those concentrates, and a safety assessment of the finished attar at its actual selling concentration. These are available per product on request via WhatsApp on +91 96192 18531; formula compositions and percentages are not disclosed. SOSA does not describe its attars as chemical-free, hypoallergenic, non-toxic or safe for everyone, and does not claim that its documentation prevents individual reactions. Whether a named material in a product title is present as a natural extract or as a formulated accord is a product-level question answered on request, as is whether a particular attar contains animal-derived materials. Prices and availability are subject to change - see the live collection pages.
General fragrance-safety context: IFRA Standards restrict, prohibit or set limits on fragrance materials by product use category, and a conformity statement relates to a concentrate as assessed for a stated use, not to a finished product in the abstract. The EU list of fragrance substances that must be declared on cosmetic labels began at 26 substances and has since been substantially expanded. Agarwood-producing Aquilaria species and musk deer are listed under CITES, and Santalum album is a species of conservation concern, which is why sourcing questions on oud, musk and sandalwood are reasonable to ask of any seller. Nothing on this page is medical advice; if your skin reacts to a fragrance, stop using it and speak to a dermatologist.
