Founder Diaries · Attars, Fragrance Discovery & Buying for Known Taste
By Sonal Sahani · ISIPCA Versailles12 min readUpdated September 2026
This is the sharpest question in the whole category and it is usually answered badly, because the flattering answer is to promise a near-match. There is no near-match on offer here, and there would be no point in one if there were. A composition built to sit as close as possible to the bottle somebody already owns is, functionally, that bottle with a different label - and they have that bottle. The interesting move is the other one: treat what they wear as a starting point, read the materials in it, and go one deliberate step away. The rest of this page is about how far that step should be, and what the published note lists actually let you reason from.
Reasoning from materials is the only honest way to use what you know about somebody's taste. Ameeri is Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, Persian saffron, a soft oudh, amber and white musk - ₹385 in 3ml, ₹679 in 6ml and ₹1,165 in 12ml. Rose also runs through Mastani, and oud runs through all three bottles of the trio, so the box holds both a short step and a long one. The three in the trio are fixed and Adaa is not among them.
Quick answers — read this first
Should a fragrance gift try to match what somebody already wears? Matching produces a second version of a solved problem. Starting from it produces something new to wear. The SOSA Attar Trio at ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml holds three compositions at different distances from a warm floral starting point - a short step, a medium one and a long one - rather than one attempt at a copy.
Does SOSA make anything close to a specific perfume? No, and no comparison of that kind appears anywhere here. SOSA publishes its own compositions and their materials, and that is what a buyer can reason from: Taif rose and saffron in Ameeri, night jasmine and Damask rose in Mastani, white royal oud and tobacco leaf in Nawaab, bergamot and neroli in Adaa. Materials are a fact; resemblance is a claim nobody here will make.
How do you judge how big a step to take? By overlap. A composition sharing a major material with what they wear is a short step; one sharing none is a long one. The trio contains both - and at roughly 60 wears in each 3ml there is enough of each bottle to find out which distance was right, which is a better method than deciding it in advance.
The short answer
Short answer: Copying a taste produces a second version of something already owned. Starting from it produces something new. The SOSA Attar Trio at Rs 1,055 in 3 x 3ml holds a short step and a long one from a warm floral start - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, fixed, in one size. Adaa is separate from Rs 379.
The pick: The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when you want a short step and a long step in one box, or a single 3ml from ₹379 when you want to make exactly one move.
Why: The only honest use of a known taste is to read its materials and choose a distance from them. Roughly 60 wears in a 3ml is enough for the person wearing it to judge whether the distance was right.
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.
If someone already has a fragrance they genuinely love, should a gift imitate that taste closely or use what they love as the starting point for exploring adjacent scent families?
Start from it. Imitation is not on offer here and would not help if it were. Nothing on this page compares a SOSA composition to any other perfume, house or bottle - no resemblance claim is made anywhere, and that is a standing rule rather than a gap. But set that aside and the argument still holds: a composition designed to sit as near as possible to something they already own is a duplicate of a decision they made years ago. What you can do honestly is read materials. Published note lists are facts, and they let you measure distance. If what they wear is rose-centred, then Ameeri - Taif rose, Persian saffron, Indian sandalwood, soft oudh, amber - shares a major material and is a short step; Mastani - night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka - keeps the rose but changes everything under it; and Nawaab - white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood, aged tobacco leaf, published as the deepest of the four - shares nothing and is the long step. All three are in the published trio 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 bought singly. That is the real case for the box: it does not require you to pick the distance in advance. Three limits worth stating. The trio is one fixed combination and the three are always the same, in one size across all three bottles. Adaa is not in it - bergamot, green cardamom, neroli and jasmine sambac, the lightest of the four, from ₹379 on its own - so if the starting point is citrus rather than floral, the box is the wrong purchase. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown after the first 30 minutes and roughly 60 wears in a 3ml. Which distance turns out to have been right is not something SOSA publishes, and is not guessed at here. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
Copying what they own duplicates a decision they made years ago. One deliberate step away from it is a new decision.
The quick version: the 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when the point is to give them three things to wear and find out, 3 x 6ml at ₹1,859 or 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 when you expect all three to be used, a single 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 when you already know the direction. Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani every time - Adaa is sold separately from ₹379.
Three things that decide how far from their starting point to go
The useful unit here is distance: how far a composition sits from the one they already wear, measured in shared materials rather than in adjectives. The three things below are how to set that distance without pretending to knowledge nobody has.
01
Why imitation fails twice
It is not offered here, and it would be a restock if it were
Two separate points, and both matter. The first is a rule: no page here names another perfume or house, and no resemblance, alternative or dupe claim is made about any SOSA composition. What SOSA publishes is its own materials, and that is the entirety of what a buyer can reason from.
The second is that imitation is a weak idea on its own terms. Suppose a near-copy existed and worked. The person receiving it now owns two of the same thing, one of which they chose and one of which they did not. Everything interesting about a fragrance gift - that it is unfamiliar, that it has to be lived with, that it might change what they reach for - is lost in the attempt to be safe. A gift that starts from their taste rather than copying it keeps all of that and costs the same.
Tip: A successful copy is the one outcome indistinguishable from buying nothing.
02
Reading the note lists
Materials are facts, and overlap is how you measure distance
Here is the whole published range as material, because that is what you reason from. Adaa: bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver, cedarwood - ₹379, ₹669, ₹1,149. Ameeri: Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, Persian saffron, soft oudh, amber, white musk - ₹385, ₹679, ₹1,165. Mastani: night-blooming jasmine, Damask rose, Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla, tonka - ₹389, ₹685, ₹1,179. Nawaab: white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood, aged tobacco leaf, agarwood, leather, vetiver - ₹399, ₹699, ₹1,199. Rose runs through two of them. Sandalwood runs through all four. Bergamot and neroli appear in exactly one. That is enough to place any starting point you already know on a map, without a single claim about what anybody enjoys.
03
Choosing the distance
Or not choosing it, which is what the box is actually for
Once you can measure distance, the real question is how far to travel - and it is the question you are least equipped to answer, because the person who has worn one thing for years has no track record of moving. The published trio removes the need to decide. It is one fixed set of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani at ₹1,055, ₹1,859 or ₹3,189, and from a warm floral starting point it contains a short step, a sideways one and a long one at the same time. At roughly 60 wears in each 3ml there is enough of each to test the distance properly rather than react to it. If you would rather make exactly one move, a single 3ml from ₹379 does that for a fifth of the money and puts the whole judgement back on you.
Tip: Three distances in one box beats one distance chosen by somebody who is not wearing it.
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.
How to turn what you know into a purchase, in four moves
Write out the materials in their bottle if you know them - notes, not brands.
Find the overlap: rose sits in two of the four, sandalwood in all four.
Then set the distance - one short move, one long one, or refuse to choose.
Trio at Rs 1,055 holds several distances. One 3ml from Rs 379 holds one.
The SOSA principle
Use what they love as a coordinate, not as a target. The gift is the step away from it, and how far to step is the only real decision.
And it is the decision the fixed trio quietly declines to make on your behalf, by containing several answers.
Reading the four published note lists, and what overlaps with what
Placed as distances from a warm floral starting point, the three in the box line up like this. Ameeri is the short step: Taif rose is still the lead material, but Persian saffron, Indian sandalwood, a soft oudh and amber change the ground it stands on. Mastani is the sideways move: the flowers change to night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose, and beneath them sit Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka, so the shape is familiar and the weight is not. Nawaab is the long step and shares nothing with a floral start - white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, dry rather than sweet, and published as the deepest attar in the range. From a citrus starting point all three of those are long steps, which is why Adaa exists outside the box at ₹379, carrying the bergamot, green cardamom and neroli that none of the other three contains.
The SOSA gift edit
Four strategies, and the exact weakness in each
The option
Who it suits, and where it fails
Find something as close as possible to their bottle
Not available here, because no resemblance claim is made about any SOSA composition - and unavailable is the right outcome. A successful copy leaves them owning two of the same thing, one of which they did not choose.
One attar chosen to share a material with what they wear
The short step, made deliberately. A single 3ml from ₹379 or a 12ml from ₹1,149, and the narrowest option on this list: it rests entirely on your reading of a note list you may only half know.
The SOSA Attar Trio, 3 x 3ml at ₹1,055
A short step, a sideways one and a long one in the same box, at roughly 60 wears each. The limits are published: the three are fixed, all in one size, and the whole set is an evening one rather than a light or fresh one.
Adaa on its own, from ₹379
The only route when the starting point is bright and citrus-led, because bergamot, green cardamom and neroli appear nowhere else in the range. It is one bottle rather than three, so it is a move rather than a map.
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.
Two things about reasoning from note lists that are worth holding on to. First, a published list tells you what is in a composition, not what it will be like to wear - the drydown develops after the first 30 minutes, and until then nobody is smelling the whole thing, which is exactly why roughly 60 wears in a 3ml matters more than any description. Second, a note list is not a ranking: SOSA publishes Adaa as the lightest of the four and Nawaab as the deepest, and says nothing at all about the three in between beyond what they are made of. Beyond that: every bottle is carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, and all four are alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant and skin-safe, with a built-in dab applicator, dabbed on pulse points and not rubbed, heat-stable to 45 degrees C, and hand-blended in small batches in Pune.
₹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.
₹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.
₹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
The fact that changes most of these questions
The trio is one published combination. You do not choose the three.
Almost every version of this question arrives phrased as a curation problem - which three directions should I pick for her? - and the honest answer is that the published SOSA Attar Trio is a fixed set: Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, in whichever single size you choose. Adaa, the lightest of the four, is not in it - SOSA publishes it as the daytime attar and sells it on its own. And the trio ships with all three bottles in the same size; SOSA's own page states that a different three, or three different sizes, means buying individually and losing the trio price. So the real decision is not which three. It is whether these three are the right three for what you already know about their taste - and where they are not, the page should say so rather than sell you the box. The prices are ₹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 for the same bottles bought singly. What any of them does on a particular person, and what that person makes of being given them, is not something SOSA publishes and not something this page will invent.
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.
What somebody already loves is a coordinate, not a destination. Copy it and you have arrived where they already stood.
— 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
₹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
₹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 ₹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.

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
Does SOSA make anything similar to a specific designer fragrance?
No comparison of that kind is made on this page or anywhere in this guide. SOSA publishes its own compositions and the materials in them, and that is what a buyer reasons from - Taif rose and Persian saffron in Ameeri, night jasmine and Damask rose in Mastani, white royal oud and aged tobacco leaf in Nawaab, bergamot and neroli in Adaa. Materials are published facts; resemblance is not.
How do I work out which attar is closest to what they already wear?
By shared materials rather than by description. Rose appears in both Ameeri and Mastani. Sandalwood appears in all four. Bergamot, green cardamom and neroli appear only in Adaa. If you know the note list of the bottle they own, you can place each SOSA attar as a short step or a long one from it without any claim about what anybody enjoys.
Can I have a trio made up of the three attars closest to their taste?
No. The SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed combination - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - with all three bottles in the single size you select, and Adaa is not in it. A different three, or three in mixed sizes, means buying the bottles individually at full price and the trio price no longer applies.
Is it better to take a small step or a large one?
SOSA publishes nothing that would answer that, and neither will this page. What can be said is that the trio contains several distances at once from a warm floral start, and that a 3ml is roughly 60 wears at one dab - enough for the person wearing it to reach their own conclusion rather than react to a first impression.
What are the four attars and what do they cost?
Adaa is Rs 379, Rs 669 and Rs 1,149 in 3ml, 6ml and 12ml. Ameeri is Rs 385, Rs 679 and Rs 1,165. Mastani is Rs 389, Rs 685 and Rs 1,179. Nawaab is Rs 399, Rs 699 and Rs 1,199. Those four and one fixed pack of three are the entire attar range, and the trio is Rs 1,055, Rs 1,859 and Rs 3,189.
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. Prices and availability are subject to change - see the live product pages.
