Founder Diaries · Reed Diffuser & Home Fragrance Gifting
Which lasts longer, a dry-fruit box or a reed diffuser? The diffuser, by a wide margin, and it is the only clean comparison here. A food box is finished within days of opening. A SOSA reed runs about 6 to 10 weeks, and a duo runs that in two rooms. That is presence, not preference - a food box is shared by the whole household while a diffuser is placed by one person.
Which is the safer gift for a family you do not know well? The dry-fruit box, honestly. It is shared by everybody, needs no space, and carries almost no risk of being the wrong taste. A scent can be disliked and then sits on a table for weeks. If you want the fragrance anyway, choose the least declarative pairing - Fresh & Grounded at ₹1,548 is the driest and least floral.

Start by fixing the number, because one side of this comparison does not have it. Nothing in the SOSA reed range is published at ₹2,000. The 50ml duo sets come in under it at ₹1,498, ₹1,548 and ₹1,598, and then no reed diffuser and no duo set is published between ₹1,598 and ₹2,398. So this is not ₹2,000 against ₹2,000. It is a ₹2,000 dry-fruit box against a ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 set, with change left over - and the rest of the comparison is about who eats it, how long it is there, and what happens if it is not wanted.
The cheapest of the three sets and the one that answers a ₹2,000 budget by coming in under it. SOSA Day & Night, ₹1,498 for two 50ml bottles - Morning Freshness lemon-mint with Evening Calm lavender-chamomile, about 6 to 10 weeks each, one box. Worth knowing before choosing on price: Evening Calm is the one scent with no refill published.
Quick answers — read this first
What does Rs 2,000 buy in the SOSA reed range? Nothing at exactly that number. The 50ml duo sets are ₹1,498, ₹1,548 and ₹1,598 for two bottles, and no reed diffuser and no duo set is published between ₹1,598 and ₹2,398. The next set up is the 130ml duo at ₹2,498 to ₹2,598, which is a room-size step rather than a budget one.Which lasts longer, a dry-fruit box or a reed diffuser?

The short answer
Short answer: They do not meet at Rs 2,000. Nothing in the SOSA reed range is published at that number: the 50ml duo sets are Rs 1,498 to Rs 1,598 and no reed diffuser and no duo set is published between Rs 1,598 and Rs 2,398. Compare on who consumes it, how long it is present, whether it can be passed on, and what happens if it is disliked.
The pick: A 50ml duo set at ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 if you want presence for weeks in two rooms. A dry-fruit box if you want something the whole household shares and nobody can dislike.
Why: One is consumed in days by everybody in the house; the other sits in two rooms for about 6 to 10 weeks and is chosen by one person. The failure cases are opposite, and that is the real comparison.
In this guide
A gift cannot change how somebody's week went, and a page that suggests otherwise is not worth reading. What a small parcel does is tell a person you were thinking about them on a day when nothing made you - which is a real thing to say, and worth saying. Keep it small, because a large one asks somebody already short of energy to produce a reaction, and send the words separately, because the object cannot carry them.

Straight answer
How should I compare a Rs 2,000 dry-fruit gift box with a Rs 2,000 reed diffuser combination?
First, correct the premise, because it quietly decides the rest. There is no ₹2,000 reed diffuser combination. The published ladder runs one 50ml at ₹749 to ₹849, one 130ml at ₹1,249 to ₹1,349, a 50ml duo at ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 - and then no reed diffuser and no duo set published between ₹1,598 and ₹2,398, with the 130ml duo picking up at ₹2,498 to ₹2,598. So a ₹2,000 budget is answered by Day & Night at ₹1,498, Fresh & Grounded at ₹1,548 or Warmth & Bloom at ₹1,598 coming in under the number, not by stretching a thousand rupees upward to use it up. The larger set is a decision about room size, and a page that pushed you into it to match a budget would be doing you a disservice. With the number fixed, the comparison is six questions. Who consumes it: a food box is shared by the whole household; a diffuser is placed by one person in one room, and a duo gives them two of those decisions. How long it is present: days against about 6 to 10 weeks, the only duration SOSA publishes, covering both bottle sizes. Whether it can be passed on: a food box can be re-gifted with nobody the wiser; a diffuser broadly cannot. Whether it duplicates: several food boxes turn up in the same week at Diwali and a diffuser rarely does. What happens if it does not suit: almost nothing on the food side, but a disliked scent sits visibly on a table - the honest weakness of the fragrance option. And what it asks: a diffuser needs no flame, no socket and no water, but it does need a surface, which a food box does not. Two limits to state plainly: SOSA has no large assembled gift box, no basket service, no gift wrap, no ribbon and no message card, and the three pairings are fixed with no set composed to order. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
The comparison people think they are making is ₹2,000 against ₹2,000. The one actually available is ₹2,000 of food against a ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 set with change left, because nothing in the reed range is published at ₹2,000.
The corrected arithmetic: no reed diffuser and no duo set is published between ₹1,598 and ₹2,398. So a ₹2,000 budget is answered by a 50ml duo at ₹1,498 to ₹1,598, under the number rather than over it.
Reed duo sets from ₹1,498
The six questions that actually separate these two gifts
Once the price premise is corrected, the two gifts stop being versions of each other and start being genuinely different objects. Three groups of questions separate them, and the food box wins one of the three outright.
1
The arithmetic
What Rs 2,000 buys on each side, and why the numbers do not line up
On the food side, ₹2,000 is a straightforward number: it buys a reasonably substantial assortment, and the category is priced continuously, so there is something at almost any figure you name.
On the reed side there is no such continuity, and this is the single most useful fact on the page. The published SOSA ladder is: one 50ml ₹749 to ₹849, one 130ml ₹1,249 to ₹1,349, a 50ml duo ₹1,498 to ₹1,598, then no reed diffuser and no duo set published between ₹1,598 and ₹2,398, then a 130ml duo ₹2,498 to ₹2,598. There is nothing at ₹2,000. There is nothing at ₹1,800 either.
Two wrong moves follow from not knowing that. The first is stretching to the ₹2,498 set because the budget said two thousand and it feels closer than fifteen hundred: that buys two large bottles, which is correct only if both rooms are large, and in two small closed bedrooms both get moved into a corridor. The second is topping up the duo with something else to reach the number, which is how people end up buying a second gift nobody asked for.
The right move is the boring one. Take the 50ml duo at ₹1,498 to ₹1,598, come in under budget, and stop.

Tip: A budget is a ceiling, not a target. Nothing in the reed range is published at ₹2,000.

The physical facts
Who eats it, who places it, and how long it is in the house
Strip out the sentiment and four physical differences remain.
Who consumes it. A dry-fruit box is a household object: it goes on the counter, everybody takes some, and it distributes itself with nobody making a decision. A diffuser is placed by one person in one room. A duo at ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 is two of those placements, which is the real reason to take the set over a single bottle.
How long it is present. Days against about 6 to 10 weeks. That figure is the only duration SOSA publishes and covers both bottle sizes, because the bigger bottle is for a bigger room rather than a longer life.
Whether it needs space. A food box needs none: it is opened and it is gone. A diffuser needs a surface for two months, which in a full flat is a genuine ask and not a trivial one.
Whether it duplicates. At Diwali a household can receive several food boxes in one week, and the fourth one is functionally invisible. A reed diffuser rarely duplicates - not a claim about how the gift is received, simply an observation about what else is on the table.

The failure cases
What happens when the gift does not suit, on each side
This is where the food box wins, and any honest comparison has to concede it.
A dry-fruit box has almost no failure mode. If a household does not want it, it goes to an office, to staff, or on to somebody else, and nothing about that is uncomfortable or visible. It runs into diabetes, diets and nut allergies, which is a real constraint, but it is never a misjudgement of somebody's taste. Nobody is offended by almonds.
A scent can simply be disliked. Coffee and vanilla can be too sweet for somebody's bedroom. Rose can be too floral. A household that already runs its own fragrance may not want a second opinion in the hallway. And the bottle cannot be passed along the way a sealed food box can, because your choice is visible in it. It sits on a surface, or in a cupboard, for weeks.
Two things reduce that without pretending it away. Choose the least declarative pairing for a household you do not know - Fresh & Grounded at ₹1,548, dry and green, is the least sweet and least floral of the three. And note that a duo splits the risk across two rooms: a bottle that is wrong for a bedroom can move to a hallway, which a single bottle cannot do. Neither of those makes fragrance as safe as food, and it would be dishonest to imply it.

Tip: Food is almost impossible to get wrong. Fragrance is not, and that is the price of the extra weeks.
The idea this whole question turns on
A duo is a second room, not a bigger gift for the same room
The 50ml duo sets are ₹1,498, ₹1,548 and ₹1,598 for two 50ml bottles - which is two small-to-medium rooms, not one room handled twice as hard. The 130ml duos at ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 are two large rooms. So the question to answer before the price is how many rooms you actually want handled, and how big they are. Somebody in a one-bedroom flat who spends every evening in the living room does not need a second bottle; somebody who has just taken possession of a 3BHK where every room smells of paint does.
See the SOSA reed duo sets →
Work it out in this order
Comparing the two in four steps
- Fix the number: nothing in the SOSA reed range is published at Rs 2,000.
- Take the 50ml duo at Rs 1,498 to Rs 1,598, under budget, rather than stretching up.
- Weigh who uses it: a household shares food; one person places a diffuser.
- Decide on the failure case. Food is never wrong; a scent can be disliked.
The SOSA principle
A budget is a ceiling rather than a target, and a range that publishes nothing at your number is telling you something useful: the next step up is a decision about room size, not a way of spending the rest of the money.
Which is why the honest answer to a Rs 2,000 question is often a Rs 1,498 set and change, rather than a Rs 2,498 set and a room it does not fit.
What Rs 2,000 buys on each side, and the gap in the reed ladder
If the fragrance side wins for your list, the pairing matters more than the price difference between the three, because you are placing a taste in somebody else's rooms. Fresh & Grounded at ₹1,548 is Morning Freshness, Malabar lemon and mint, with Mountain Breeze, Himalayan pine, sage and cedar - dry, green and the least sweet and least floral of the three, which is what you want for a household you cannot picture. Day & Night at ₹1,498 is the same lemon-mint with Evening Calm, Himalayan lavender and chamomile, the two quietest scents in the range and the cheapest of the sets. Warmth & Bloom at ₹1,598 is Fresh Brew, Coorg coffee and Kerala vanilla, with Garden Bloom, British rose and night-blooming jasmine - the most declarative pairing, which is the right one when you know the household's taste and the riskiest when you do not. Evening Calm is a name on a bottle of lavender and chamomile and describes the contents rather than any effect. None of the three can be called universally liked, and that is exactly the asymmetry with a box of dry fruit.
The SOSA gift edit
Four ways to spend around Rs 2,000, side by side
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| A dry-fruit box · about ₹2,000, bought elsewhere | Shared by the whole household, needs no surface, can be passed on without awkwardness, and is essentially never the wrong choice for somebody's taste. It fails on presence - finished within days - on duplication, since several turn up the same week at Diwali, and on diets, diabetes and nut allergies. |
| One 130ml reed · ₹1,249 to ₹1,349 | A single large bottle for one large open room, about 6 to 10 weeks, well under the budget. Right when you know they have one open living and dining area and that is where it is going. It fails as a ₹2,000 answer, because the extra money goes into bottle volume in one room rather than into a second room. |
| A 50ml duo set · ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 | The honest answer to a ₹2,000 budget: two 50ml bottles in one box, two small-to-medium rooms, about 6 to 10 weeks each, and change left over. It fails if the household would rather have had something everybody shares, and it fails if the scent is disliked, which food essentially cannot be. |
| A 130ml duo set · ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 | Two 130ml bottles for two genuinely large rooms, same three pairings. Correct when you have seen the flat. It fails as a way to reach ₹2,000, because it is five hundred rupees above it and buys bottle volume rather than coverage - in two small closed bedrooms both bottles end up moved. |
The three pairings, and the one trade inside them
Three sets exist, the pairings are fixed, and one of them has no refill path
Day & Night ₹1,498 is lemon-mint with lavender-chamomile. Fresh & Grounded ₹1,548 is lemon-mint with pine, sage and cedar - the least sweet and the least floral of the three. Warmth & Bloom ₹1,598 is coffee-vanilla with rose and night jasmine, the most declarative. A set cannot be composed to order, so any other pairing is two separate bottles rather than a box. And one real trade: refills at ₹2,399 and ₹3,499 are published for four of the five scents, but not for Evening Calm - which is half of the cheapest set.
Compare the three duo sets →
Three more numbers that belong in this comparison. First, continuation: refills are ₹2,399 for 300ml and ₹3,499 for 500ml, published for four of the five scents, and Evening Calm publishes none - which matters because Evening Calm is half of the ₹1,498 Day & Night set, so the cheapest duo is the one whose second bottle has no published way to continue. Second, the pairing rule: there are three sets, the combinations are fixed, no set is composed to order and there is no three-bottle set, so any other pairing means two separate bottles at roughly ₹1,498 to ₹1,698 by public arithmetic. Third, the missing spec: no square-footage rating is published for any reed, so every room recommendation here is guidance rather than something you can measure against. If you are buying for a list of families rather than one, quantities are settled on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531. Bulk orders are welcome.
Morning Freshness lemon-mint with Evening Calm lavender-chamomile. The cheapest of the three at ₹1,498, and the one whose second bottle publishes no refill - worth knowing before you choose on price alone.
₹1,498 · 50ml x 2
Lemon-mint with Himalayan pine, sage and cedar at ₹1,548. The least floral and the least sweet of the three pairings, which makes it the safest of them to send into a home you have never stood in.
₹1,548 · 50ml x 2
Coorg coffee-vanilla with British rose and night jasmine at ₹1,598. The most declarative pairing in the range, and the one that most reads as chosen rather than as household supply.
₹1,598 · 50ml x 2
One message, one honest recommendation
Tell SOSA who it is for, roughly how big the room is, whether their home is already scented and what you want to spend - and you will be told which size and which scent, including the times the honest answer is the 50ml rather than the 130ml.
A range that publishes nothing at your number is not a gap in the catalogue. It is a signal that the next step up answers a different question, and that the budget was a ceiling all along.
— Sonal Sahani, SOSA
The SOSA gifting range
Two questions settle almost every reed diffuser gift, and the first one is not price. How big is the room it is going into? A 50ml suits a bedroom, a study, a hallway or a first diffuser; a 130ml suits an open-plan living and dining area, and it is genuinely too much for a small closed bedroom. Then: how much do you actually know about their taste? The less you know, the less declarative the scent should be - Morning Freshness is the safest of the five for a home you have never stood in, and Fresh Brew coffee-vanilla is the strongest opinion in the range. Price follows those two answers rather than leading them.
The SOSA home fragrance ladder
A duo is two rooms, not a bigger gift for one room - decide by the rooms first
| Option | What it is | What it suits | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOSA reed duo sets, 50ml x 2 | Two 50ml bottles in one box | Day & Night ₹1,498, Fresh & Grounded ₹1,548, Warmth & Bloom ₹1,598 - two small-to-medium rooms, and already a box with nothing to assemble | from ₹1,498 |
| SOSA reed duo sets, 130ml x 2 | The same three pairings, larger | ₹2,498, ₹2,548 and ₹2,598 - for two genuinely large rooms, and too much for two small closed bedrooms | from ₹2,498 |
| A single 50ml reed diffuser | One small or medium room | ₹749 to ₹849, about 6 to 10 weeks - a bedroom, a study, a hallway, or anybody receiving their first diffuser | from ₹749 |
| A single 130ml reed diffuser | One large room | ₹1,249 to ₹1,349 - an open-plan living and dining area, and the wrong choice for a small closed bedroom | from ₹1,249 |
| SOSA reed refills | 300ml and 500ml | ₹2,399 and ₹3,499, published for four of the five scents - Evening Calm publishes none, which matters if the gift was the Day & Night duo | ₹2,399 / ₹3,499 |
| SOSA Sukoon | Ultrasonic cool-mist machine | ₹1,899 plus water-based Hotel Collection fragrance from ₹299 - a machine asks for water and power every week, which a bottle never does | ₹1,899 |
| SOSA Vaayu | Waterless cold-air machine | Approximately 1000 m3 of connected air with a Bluetooth app and timer - a large open home or a business, not a flat with every door shut | ₹11,999 |
There are three duo sets and only three, and the pairings are fixed - a set cannot be composed to order, so any other pairing is simply two separate bottles. There is no three-bottle or four-bottle set, and SOSA has no hamper, gift box, wrapping, ribbon or message-card service; the only branding available anywhere is a custom label or logo on product. All five reeds run about 6 to 10 weeks, which is the only duration SOSA publishes, and no square-footage rating is published for any reed. Prices above are published retail prices; bulk orders are welcome and quantities are settled on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 rather than priced on a page. SOSA is an Indian fragrance house based in Pune and sends orders across India. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
The honest price sheet
The published ladder, including the gap in it
Everything below is on the live product pages. Anything not on this list is not something a page like this should state.
- One 50ml reed - Morning Freshness ₹749, Garden Bloom and Evening Calm ₹799, Mountain Breeze and Fresh Brew ₹849. One 130ml reed - ₹1,249 to ₹1,349. All five run about 6 to 10 weeks in either size, because the larger bottle is for a larger room and not for a longer life.
- The three duo sets - Day & Night ₹1,498, Fresh & Grounded ₹1,548 and Warmth & Bloom ₹1,598 as two 50ml bottles; ₹2,498, ₹2,548 and ₹2,598 as two 130ml bottles. These three pairings are the whole set range - a set is not composed to order, and there is no three-bottle or four-bottle set.
- The gap worth knowing about - the ladder runs one 50ml ₹749, one 130ml ₹1,249, a 50ml duo ₹1,498, then no reed diffuser and no duo set published between ₹1,598 and ₹2,398 (the ₹1,899 Sukoon machine sits in that band, but it is a machine and not a bottle), then a 130ml duo ₹2,498. A budget of about ₹2,000 is therefore answered by the 50ml duo coming in under it, not by stretching to the larger set - the larger set is a room-size decision.
- Refills - 300ml ₹2,399 and 500ml ₹3,499, published for four of the five scents. Evening Calm publishes no refill, and Evening Calm is one of the two bottles in the ₹1,498 Day & Night duo - so the cheapest set is the one whose second bottle has no published continuation.
- Machines, if rooms are not the unit - Boond ₹899 and Sukoon ₹1,899 run the water-based Hotel Collection from ₹299 and need water, power and refilling. Vaayu ₹11,999 is waterless, rated for approximately 1000 m3 of connected air. Megh ₹5,999.
- Not published, and therefore never stated here: any square-footage or room-volume rating for a reed diffuser, any duration other than about 6 to 10 weeks, how often reeds should be turned, any bulk rate, minimum order quantity, slab or volume discount, any dispatch or delivery timing, any case pack or carton size, any claim about how a recipient will feel, and any claim that a gift changes a business result. Those go to WhatsApp +91 96192 18531.
Not sure whether one bottle or two? Tell SOSA on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 four things: how many rooms you actually want handled, roughly how big and how open those rooms are, whether the home is already scented, and what you want to spend. You will get one straight answer rather than a catalogue - including the times the honest answer is a single 50ml rather than a duo, or two separate bottles rather than one of the three published sets. What is not on this page, because SOSA does not publish it: any square-footage rating for a reed, any duration beyond about 6 to 10 weeks, any bulk rate, minimum order quantity, slab or volume discount, any dispatch or delivery timing, and any payment or invoicing term. There are three duo sets and the pairings are fixed - no set is composed to order, there is no three-bottle set, and there is no hamper, gift box, wrapping, ribbon or message-card service. Bulk orders are welcome and custom label or logo on product is available; that is the whole of the branding offer and everything commercial is a conversation on WhatsApp. Bespoke composition, a fragrance composed for you by Sonal, is a real SOSA service and is also discussed there. Where SOSA is: SOSA is an Indian fragrance house based in Pune and sends orders across India. There is no SOSA shop, stockist, counter or warehouse in any other city, so anything here about Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mysuru or anywhere else is about the homes in those cities and not about a local branch.

The question I get most often about the duo sets is not about scent. It is a slightly embarrassed version of: will one bottle look cheap? And I understand it, because a single 50ml reed in a box is a small object to hand to somebody whose house you have just walked into for the first time.
But the honest answer is that a duo is not a bigger gift. It is a second room. That is the whole difference, and it is a much more useful way to think about it than price. If the person you are buying for lives in a one-bedroom flat and spends their evenings in the living room, the second bottle does not make the gift better - it makes the gift into something they have to find a home for. If they have just moved into a 3BHK and every room smells of paint, the second bottle is the point.
Where I would push back hardest is on the 130ml duo. People reach for it because it is the most expensive thing in the reed range and it feels like the safest way to be generous. The 130ml is the large room's bottle, not the better bottle. Two of them in two small closed bedrooms is not a generous gift; it is two rooms nobody wants to sit in. A 50ml duo at ₹1,498 in the right two rooms beats a 130ml duo at ₹2,498 in the wrong two, every single time.
And the part I will not pretend about: there are three pairings and they are fixed. I cannot put Garden Bloom and Evening Calm in a box for you. If that is the combination you want, it is two bottles rather than a set, and it is worth knowing that before you decide whether the box mattered to you in the first place.
Frequently asked questions
What does Rs 2,000 buy in the SOSA reed diffuser range?
Nothing at exactly Rs 2,000. The 50ml duo sets are Rs 1,498, Rs 1,548 and Rs 1,598, and no reed diffuser and no duo set is published between Rs 1,598 and Rs 2,398. The next set up is the 130ml duo at Rs 2,498 to Rs 2,598. A Rs 2,000 budget is therefore answered by the 50ml duo coming in under it, with change left over.
Which gift lasts longer, a dry-fruit box or a reed diffuser set?
The diffuser, clearly. A food box is finished within days of opening. A SOSA reed runs about 6 to 10 weeks, the only duration published, and a duo runs that in two rooms rather than one. That is presence rather than preference, and it does not by itself make the diffuser the better gift for every household.
Which one is safer for a family whose taste I do not know?
The dry-fruit box. It is shared by everybody, needs no surface, can be passed on without awkwardness, and is essentially never a misjudgement of somebody's taste. A scent can be genuinely disliked and then sits on a table for weeks. If you still want fragrance, Fresh and Grounded at Rs 1,548 is the driest and least floral of the three.
Can a reed diffuser be re-gifted the way a food box can?
Not really, and it is worth knowing before you choose. A sealed food box moves on to somebody else with nobody the wiser. A diffuser carries a visible choice of scent, so passing it along is more awkward. Against that, food boxes duplicate heavily at Diwali while a diffuser rarely turns up twice in the same week.
Can SOSA combine dry fruit and fragrance into one large assembled gift box?
No. SOSA is a fragrance house and runs no basket service, no gift wrap, no ribbon and no message card. A duo set is one box because that is how the product is sold, and that is the whole of the presentation. The only branding available anywhere is a custom label or logo on product, discussed on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531.
Take the next step
Fix the number first, then compare the objects
A 50ml duo at ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 is what a ₹2,000 budget actually buys in the reed range, with change left over - two rooms, about 6 to 10 weeks each, one box. A 130ml duo from ₹2,498 only when both rooms are genuinely large. And if the household would rather have something everybody shares, a food box is still the better structure and worth saying so.
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.

What is not published, and is therefore not stated anywhere on this page: any square-footage or room-volume rating for a reed diffuser, any reed duration other than approximately 6 to 10 weeks, how often reeds should be turned, reed oil composition or concentration, shelf life, and the number of reeds supplied. About commercial terms: the prices above are published retail prices. SOSA publishes no bulk or wholesale rate, no minimum order quantity, no volume slab or discount, no dispatch or delivery window, no order cut-off, no payment or credit term, no rate card, no case pack, no carton size and no unit weight, and none is stated anywhere on this page; bulk orders are welcome and are discussed on WhatsApp. The only branding available is a custom label or logo on product - there is no custom box, printed sleeve, insert card, gift wrap, ribbon, message card or hamper service. There is no dealer, partner or reseller programme. About SOSA's location: SOSA Home & Body is an Indian fragrance house based in Pune, Maharashtra, and sends orders across India. SOSA has no shop, showroom, stockist, counter or warehouse in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mysuru or any other city, and nothing on this page should be read as claiming one; where a city is named, it refers to the homes and the buyers in that city and nothing more. Limits of this guide: fragrance adds a scent and does not remove, neutralise, mask or purify odour, and no SOSA product makes any health, antibacterial, air-purifying or wellbeing claim. No claim is made anywhere on this page about mood, stress, calm, sleep, comfort or wellbeing: fragrance is a scent, not a treatment, and where a product name contains a word such as Calm that is a name and not an effect. No claim is made about how any recipient will feel about a gift, and no claim is made that a gift changes any business result - not a satisfaction score, repeat business, referrals, reviews, retention or recall.
