Is the SOSA trio an evening set or an all-day one? An evening set, and SOSA says so on its own page: the trio is published as depth, warmth and floral, with a stated reason not to buy it if you want something daytime or office-light. Adaa is the daytime attar of the four and is sold separately from ₹379. For a brief that is explicitly about dinners and evenings, that published positioning is doing you a favour rather than a disservice.
What does it cost against buying the three bottles one at a time? ₹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 three bought singly - savings of ₹118, ₹204 and ₹354, which is ten per cent at every tier. All three bottles come in the size you select.

This is one of the rare gifting questions where the recipient has already done half the work for you. She has said what she wants - something with more weight than her daytime florals, for dinners and the evenings that are not an ordinary Tuesday. What she has not said, and probably could not, is what that means in materials. Sophisticated is not a note. But it points somewhere quite specific when you translate it: a floral that stands on wood, resin or amber rather than on air. That translation is the useful part of this purchase, because it turns a vague brief into something you can check against a published note list before you spend anything.
When somebody says they want something with more weight for the evening, this is the direction the words usually point at. Ameeri is Taif rose and Persian saffron over Indian sandalwood, with a measured oudh, amber and white musk - rose-led, but warm rather than floral-fresh. Ameeri is ₹385 in 3ml, ₹679 in 6ml and ₹1,165 in 12ml. It is one of the three bottles in the SOSA Attar Trio with Nawaab and Mastani. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle.
Quick answers — read this first
What does a floral wearer mean when she asks for something more sophisticated for evenings? In materials, usually a base with more weight under the same kind of flower. Mastani is the floral-woody version - night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka. Ameeri is the floral-amber one - Taif rose and Persian saffron over Indian sandalwood with a measured oudh and amber. Both are in the SOSA Attar Trio at ₹1,055 for 3 x 3ml.Is the SOSA trio an evening set or an all-day one?

The short answer
Short answer: Translate the brief before you shop. More weight for evenings means a heavier base under the flower, not a different flower. Mastani is the floral-woody bottle and Ameeri the floral-amber one, and both sit in the fixed SOSA Attar Trio at Rs 1,055 in 3 x 3ml with Nawaab. The trio is published as an evening set, which is what she asked for. Which one she keeps is not something SOSA publishes.
The pick: The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 - two floral-led evening compositions and one that is not floral at all, so the brief gets tested from both sides.
Why: She has named a direction rather than a bottle, and a direction is exactly what three small attars can test. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours each, longer on warm or oily skin, with roughly 60 wears in a 3ml.
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 sister chooses floral perfume every time we shop together but says she wants something that feels more sophisticated for evenings. Could a trio of attars help her explore floral-woody or floral-amber directions without me having to guess at one bottle?
Yes, and her own brief is what makes it work. She has told you the direction and left you the material - which is the easier half to solve, because materials are published and directions are not. Floral-woody and floral-amber both exist in the SOSA range as named note lists rather than as marketing adjectives. Mastani is the floral-woody one: night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood and oudh, with vanilla and tonka in the base. Ameeri is the floral-amber one: Taif rose and Persian saffron over Indian sandalwood, with a measured oudh, amber and white musk. Nawaab is the third bottle and it is not floral at all - white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, published as the deepest of the four - which is useful here rather than wasteful, because it marks the far edge of the direction she has asked about. Those three are the SOSA Attar Trio: ₹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. 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 is roughly 60 wears at one dab. Three things to be straight about. The trio is a fixed combination - nobody chooses the three, all three bottles come in one size, and Adaa is not part of it. SOSA publishes the trio as an evening set of depth, warmth and floral, which happens to match her brief, but it also means it is the wrong box for anyone who wanted something office-light. And no page here can say which of the three she would put on for a dinner, because that is not information SOSA has about anybody. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
More weight for the evening is a request about the base. Two of the three bottles are floral-led; the third marks the far edge.
The quick version against her brief: the 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when you want both the floral-woody and the floral-amber readings tested, 3 x 6ml at ₹1,859 or 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 when you expect all three to be worn, a single 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 when you have already picked the reading. Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani every time - Adaa is the daytime attar and is sold separately from ₹379.
The SOSA Attar Trio from ₹1,055
What she is actually asking for, and how to buy against it
A stated brief is worth more than a guess, but only if you translate it before you spend. She has given you a direction, not a product. These three things turn the one into the other.
01
Translating the brief
Sophisticated is not a note, but it points at one
Nobody asks for a base by name, so the words arrive as adjectives - deeper, richer, more grown-up, more evening. Translated into materials, that is nearly always a request for weight under the flower rather than a different flower. A floral that stands on sandalwood, oudh, amber or tobacco leaf behaves differently from one that stands on citrus and musk, and the difference shows up most after the first thirty minutes, which is when SOSA publishes the drydown as developing. The practical value of that translation is that it is checkable: every SOSA attar publishes its note list, so you can tell before buying whether a bottle has a base at all, rather than finding out on the night.
Tip: Translate the adjective into a material and the shortlist writes itself.
02
What the box actually is
A fixed set of three, and it is published as an evening one
The SOSA Attar Trio is one published combination: Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, with all three bottles in the single size you pick - ₹1,055 for three 3ml, ₹1,859 for three 6ml, ₹3,189 for three 12ml. It is not composed around a person and it cannot be recomposed. Adaa is the fourth attar, published as the lightest and the daytime one, and it is bought on its own from ₹379. SOSA's own page lists a reason not to buy the trio - you want something daytime or office-safe - and that reason is precisely what does not apply here, because she asked for evenings.
03
Breadth against depth
Two floral-led bottles and one that is not is a test, not a hedge
There is an argument for skipping the box and buying one 12ml of whichever composition matches the brief most closely. It is a real argument and it costs about the same: ₹1,165 for Ameeri or ₹1,179 for Mastani against ₹1,055 for three 3ml bottles. What you get for the second is comparison - two floral-led evening compositions and one white royal oud that has no flower at the top, worn on her own skin over a week rather than assessed on a card in a shop. A 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab, which is the figure that makes that week real. What you get for the first is more of one thing you picked without her.
Tip: One bottle answers a question you already decided. Three answer the one she asked.
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
Five minutes of translation, then the purchase is obvious
- Write her brief as a material: weight under the flower, not a new flower.
- Check the note lists. Sandalwood, oudh, amber and tonka are all published.
- Confirm the family fits. This box is an evening set; Adaa is the daytime one.
- Then size it. Rs 1,055 for three 3ml to test, Rs 3,189 for three 12ml to supply.
The SOSA principle
She named a direction, not a bottle. The honest response to a direction is not a guess inside it - it is three points along it.
Which is also why the published evening positioning of this box is a feature rather than a caveat on this particular page.
Floral-woody and floral-amber, in the bottles that publish those notes
Two of the three are floral-led and one deliberately is not, which is what lets the box test a direction rather than assert one. Mastani at ₹389, ₹685 and ₹1,179 is the floral-woody reading of her brief - night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood and oudh, with vanilla and tonka underneath. Ameeri at ₹385, ₹679 and ₹1,165 is the floral-amber reading - Taif rose and Persian saffron over Indian sandalwood, with a measured oudh, amber and white musk, warm rather than fresh. Nawaab at ₹399, ₹699 and ₹1,199 is white royal oud with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, and SOSA publishes it as the deepest in the range. If her brief turns out to mean less far than you thought, the first two are where it lands; if it means further, the third is already in the box.
The SOSA gift edit
Four purchases against the same brief, and where each one falls short
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| Ameeri alone, 12ml at ₹1,165 | The floral-amber answer bought at full depth. Taif rose and Persian saffron over sandalwood with amber is squarely inside the brief, and a 12ml is a bottle to live with rather than test. What it cannot do is tell you whether the woody reading of her brief would have gone further. |
| Mastani alone, 12ml at ₹1,179 | The floral-woody answer at full depth, and the closest of the four to a conventional floral at the top. Same trade as above in reverse: you have committed to one interpretation of a sentence she said in a shop, and there is no way back inside the gift. |
| The SOSA Attar Trio, 3 x 3ml at ₹1,055 | Both readings of her brief plus the far edge of the direction, at roughly 60 wears each. It is the only option here that produces an answer rather than acting on one. The limits are real: the three are fixed, and every bottle in it is an evening composition. |
| The SOSA Attar Trio, 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 | The same three at the largest published size, which is supply rather than discovery. This is the right tier only if you already expect all three to be worn regularly - otherwise you are buying twelve millilitres of two compositions to find out about one. |
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.

Some format facts that change how this gift behaves in practice. All four SOSA attars are alcohol-free and DPG-free, carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, IFRA-compliant, hand-blended in small batches in Pune and composed by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles trained; the trio page and Adaa's also publish heat stability to 45 degrees C. Each has a built-in dab applicator - the published instruction is to dab on pulse points and not rub, because rubbing works against a composition before the drydown has developed. Attar oils can stain light silks, which is worth passing on with the box if the evenings she has in mind involve one. The three bottles come in a single gift-ready box, and that is the only presentation SOSA publishes; custom label or logo on product is the one branding option beyond it.
₹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.
She told you the direction and left you the material. Materials are published; directions are not. That is the half you can actually solve.
— 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 build the trio around the two floral bottles and drop the oud one?
No. The SOSA Attar Trio is a fixed combination of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, in one size across all three bottles. There is no version of it without Nawaab and no option to substitute Adaa in. If you want only Ameeri and Mastani, you buy those two individually at Rs 385 and Rs 389 in 3ml and the trio price does not apply.
Which bottle is the floral-woody one and which is the floral-amber one?
On the published note lists, Mastani is the floral-woody composition - night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood and oudh, with vanilla and tonka. Ameeri is the floral-amber one - Taif rose and Persian saffron over Indian sandalwood, with a measured oudh, amber and white musk. Nawaab, the third, is white royal oud and is not floral-led at all.
Is an attar the right format for a dinner, or is it too strong?
SOSA publishes wear as 6 to 8 hours per bottle on skin, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown developing after the first thirty minutes, and the instruction is one dab on pulse points rather than rubbing. That is the whole of the published performance disclosure. There is no projection or room-distance figure, so how noticeable any of these is at a table is not something anybody can tell you in advance.
She still wants her daytime florals. Does this replace them?
Nothing here needs to replace anything. SOSA publishes the trio as an evening set of depth, warmth and floral and publishes Adaa separately as the lighter daytime attar, at Rs 379 in 3ml, Rs 669 in 6ml and Rs 1,149 in 12ml. Adaa is not part of the trio, so if you want both sides covered that is two purchases rather than one.
How much does the trio save against buying the bottles separately?
Rs 118 on the 3 x 3ml, Rs 204 on the 3 x 6ml and Rs 354 on the 3 x 12ml, which is ten per cent at every tier. The trio is Rs 1,055, Rs 1,859 and Rs 3,189 against Rs 1,173, Rs 2,063 and Rs 3,543 for the same bottles one at a time.
Take the next step
Translate the brief, then decide whether you are testing it or acting on it
The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when the sensible move is to put the floral-woody and the floral-amber readings on her skin along with the far edge of the direction - roughly 60 wears in each bottle. 3 x 6ml at ₹1,859 or 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 when all three are expected to be used rather than sorted through. A single 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 when you have already settled which reading you meant. And Adaa from ₹379 when what she wanted was lighter rather than heavier, because the trio is published as an evening set.

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.
