Value is not the cheapest sticker - it is the lowest cost per month of real scent. By that measure, one refill wins clearly.
Quick answers — read this first
Which reed diffuser refill offers the best value for money? The 500ml SOSA refill at about ₹7 per ml - up to ~55% less than buying new 50ml bottles - lasting 14-18 months. The 300ml (₹2,399, ~₹8/ml) is close behind. From ₹2,399.

Why is the 500ml the best value? It has the lowest cost per ml (about ₹7) and the longest run (14-18 months), so the price per month of scent is the smallest.

How does it compare to small bottles? A 50ml bottle is ₹15-17 per ml and lasts 6-8 weeks - more than double the per-ml cost of the 500ml refill.
The short answer
Short answer: the 500ml refill at about ₹7 per ml - the lowest cost per month of scent.
The pick: the 500ml SOSA refill - ₹3,499, 14-18 months.
Vs bottles: ~₹7/ml vs ~₹15-17/ml for a 50ml bottle.
Straight answer
The 500ml wins on cost per month of scent
Value is not the smallest price tag - it is the lowest cost per month of real scent, and by that measure one option wins clearly. A 500ml SOSA refill costs about ₹7 per ml and lasts 14-18 months, so the running cost falls to a few rupees a day. The 300ml (₹2,399) is close behind at about ₹8 per ml over 8-11 months. Compare that to a 50ml bottle at ₹15-17 per ml that empties in six to eight weeks - more than double the per-ml cost - and you can see where the value really is. One big refill also replaces six to ten little bottles, saving on glass and packaging too. Best value overall: the 500ml. From ₹2,399.
One line: the 500ml refill at about ₹7 per ml is the best value - up to ~55% less than 50ml bottles, lasting 14-18 months. From ₹2,399.
Best value: the 500ml refill at about ₹7 per ml, ₹3,499.
