Refills are the part of a scenting programme that quietly decides whether it works. Get them on a fixed monthly round with a log, and the whole thing becomes predictable - including the quarterly order, which stops being a guess and becomes a sum.
Quick answers — read this first
How often should scent machines be refilled across multiple sites? Visit monthly, order quarterly. A SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) holds 400ml and a fill lasts up to about 75 days depending on intensity and run hours, so a monthly visit is a top-up rather than a change. Top every tank to full on the same day each month, record the millilitres added per machine, and use the log to set the quarterly order. After two rounds you have a real per-site rate rather than an estimate.

Should I wait until a scent machine is empty before refilling? No. Waiting for empty means a site smells of nothing for however long it takes someone to notice and report it, which on a portfolio is usually days. Top each SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) to full at every monthly visit; because the tank is 400ml and refillable, a top-up takes a minute and the millilitres you add are the measurement you actually want.

How do I know how much fragrance each site really uses? Log the top-ups. A 400ml tank quoted at up to about 75 days is roughly 5.3ml a day at moderate intensity, but real sites vary with run hours, intensity step and footfall. Recording the millilitres added to each SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) each month gives you the true rate within two rounds, and any machine consuming far more than its neighbours is usually running above the agreed intensity step.
The short answer
Short answer: run one top-up round a month on a fixed day, filling every SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) to full and logging the millilitres added rather than the date; a 400ml tank lasts up to about 75 days depending on intensity and run hours, so two logged rounds give you a real per-site rate, and the quarterly order is then arithmetic - roughly 480ml per machine per quarter at moderate settings, plus a litre against any site with a launch.
The pick: the SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) with its 400ml refillable tank at every site, plus the SOSA Angaan (₹25,999) and its 800ml reservoir at a double-height flagship, which sits on the same round at a longer interval.

A 400ml tank running up to about 75 days does not need a monthly change, but it does need a monthly look. Topping up and logging the millilitres is what converts a manufacturer figure into your own numbers.
The machines on the round - tap either
Straight answer
How should I schedule scent machine refills across all my project sites?
Fix the round before you fix the quantities. One person, one day a month, one route - the second Tuesday, or whatever suits your site pattern - visiting every machine in the portfolio. At each machine, top the tank to full rather than waiting for empty, and write down the millilitres you added. That last detail is the whole method: a date tells you nothing, but millilitres tell you exactly how that site is running. The SOSA Vaayu holds 400ml and a fill lasts up to about 75 days depending on intensity and daily run hours, so a monthly visit will typically find a tank somewhere around 150 to 200ml down at moderate settings, and considerably more at a site running a higher step through long days. After two rounds you have a real per-site rate, and the quarterly order becomes arithmetic: roughly 480ml per machine per quarter at moderate settings, so a two-machine site is close to a litre and a twelve-machine portfolio is around 5.8 litres, rising towards 9.6 litres where sites run hard. Then add the exceptions on purpose. A site with a launch in the window will run longer hours and draw down faster, so put an extra litre against it. A sample flat running a step below its sales office will consistently take less, and that difference should show in the log rather than being a surprise. The SOSA Angaan (₹25,999) at a flagship holds 800ml, so it is genuinely on a longer interval, but keep it on the same round so nothing is inspected only when someone complains. A free multi-site scenting plan will lay the calendar out with you, and a portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
One round a month, same day, same person. Top to full, log the millilitres, and order quarterly from the log rather than from the manufacturer's figure.
The SOSA Vaayu makes a monthly round quick: a 400ml refillable tank, waterless so a fill is oil and nothing else, and a fill life of up to about 75 days depending on intensity and run hours - which means each visit is a top-up and a note rather than a swap.

The machines on the round

The round visits two machines and nothing else, and their tank sizes set the rhythm: 400ml at every ordinary site and 800ml at the flagship. Both pictures link to the product page so whoever runs the round can check the reservoir before setting the route.

How to run a refill round that takes an afternoon

Three habits make a refill round work across six sites: a fixed date, a full top-up, and a log written in millilitres.

1
Fix the date and the route
Same day, same person, every month
A refill round that happens when someone has time does not happen. Put a recurring date in the calendar, name the person, and set the route so the whole portfolio is covered in one pass. Monthly is the right frequency even though a 400ml tank can run up to about 75 days, because the visit is not only about oil - it is when you confirm the intensity step, check the timer, re-engage the key-lock and look at whether the machine is still where it was mounted. Quarterly visits leave too much time for a site to drift unobserved.
Tip: the round is an inspection with a refill attached, not the other way round.
SOSA Vaayu
The Vaayu is waterless, so the visit is a top-up and a check - there is nothing to drain, clean or descale.

2
Top up to full, always
Never wait for a tank to empty
Waiting until a machine is empty means a site smells of nothing for however many days it takes someone to notice and mention it, and on a portfolio that is exactly the inconsistency the programme exists to prevent. Filling to a known level every month also makes the arithmetic clean: the amount you add is precisely what was used since the last visit. It costs nothing to top up a partly full 400ml tank, and it removes the need for anyone on site to judge when to call you.
SOSA Angaan
The Angaan's 800ml reservoir is filled less often, but the same rule applies - top it up on the round rather than on a report.
See SOSA Angaan →
3
Log millilitres, then order from the log
Two rounds turn a specification into your own numbers
Write the millilitres added against each machine, with the site and the date. After two rounds you have a real consumption rate per site, which is more useful than any manufacturer figure because it already includes your run hours, your intensity step and your footfall. Order quarterly against that number rather than the 75-day headline - and treat a machine consuming far more than its neighbours as a settings question, not a supply one. Add a litre against any site with a launch in the coming quarter.
Tip: an outlier in the log is almost always an intensity step someone changed.
SOSA Vaayu
A Vaayu tank is 400ml, so the millilitres you add each month sit on an easy scale to record and compare.
See SOSA Vaayu →
The SOSA principle
The manufacturer's fill life tells you what a machine can do. Your refill log tells you what your sites actually do, and only one of those is worth ordering against.
Two months of writing down millilitres replaces a year of guessing.
SOSA Angaan
The longer interval on the round: SOSA Angaan holds 800ml and covers up to 3,000m³, about 8,000-10,000 sq ft, so the flagship is filled less often but still inspected monthly, ₹25,999.

Refills answer when and by whom; how much you hold and where it sits is a separate question, worked through in managing fragrance inventory across multiple property sales offices. The other thing the round is quietly checking is settings drift, which is why it pairs with standardising scent machine settings across multiple sales offices - an outlier in the refill log is nearly always a machine running above the agreed intensity step. If you are running one project rather than a portfolio, the sales gallery scenting plan covers the single-site version.

Nobody rings head office to say the sales office smells slightly less than it did. They just stop noticing, which is exactly why the round is on a calendar.

The SOSA refill schedule specification

The round visits two machines. The Vaayu is topped up monthly at every ordinary site; the Angaan holds twice as much and sits on a longer fill interval at the flagship. Both are waterless, so a visit is oil in and a lid closed, with nothing to drain or descale. Both are made in India, and a portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.

A quick word on the log: record millilitres added, not visits completed. A tick-box round tells you somebody attended; a millilitre log tells you how each site is actually running and catches a changed intensity step before it becomes a quarter of over-consumption. One honest note - fragrance works alongside ventilation and cleaning and cannot cover fresh paint, adhesive or damp at a site still in fit-out. We will lay the calendar out on a free multi-site scenting plan.

A note from Sonal

Scenting programmes rarely fail loudly. They fade. A tank runs low at the third project, nobody says anything because nobody is quite sure what it used to smell like, and three months later that site has quietly stopped being part of the brand.

The cure is a calendar entry. One person, one fixed day a month, every machine topped to full and the millilitres written down. A Vaayu holds 400ml and a fill lasts up to about 75 days at moderate intensity and typical run hours, so a monthly visit is a top-up of roughly 150 to 200ml and a quick check of the step, the timer and the key-lock. Two rounds later, the log has replaced my figures with your figures, and the quarterly order is arithmetic. The Angaan at a flagship holds 800ml and simply sits on a longer interval within the same round.

The honest part: a disciplined refill round keeps your sites consistent, and that is all I claim for it. It does not sell flats, and I make no claim that fragrance influences a purchase decision. Scent works alongside ventilation and cleaning rather than in place of them, and it cannot cover fresh paint, adhesive or damp - those need curing and airing first. SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel, everything is made in India, and a portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.

Frequently asked questions

How often should scent machines be refilled across several sites?
Visit monthly and order quarterly. A SOSA Vaayu (Rs 11,999) holds 400ml and a fill lasts up to about 75 days depending on intensity and run hours, so a monthly visit is a top-up rather than a change - typically 150 to 200ml at moderate settings. Monthly also gives you a regular moment to confirm the intensity step, the timer and the key-lock at every site.
Should we wait until a tank is empty before topping it up?
No. Waiting for empty means a site smells of nothing until someone notices and reports it, which is precisely the inconsistency the programme exists to prevent. Top every tank to full on each visit; the amount added is then an exact measure of what was used since the last round, which is what makes the quarterly order calculable.
What should the refill log record?
Millilitres added per machine, with the site and the date. A tick-box log only proves someone attended. A millilitre log tells you the real consumption rate per site within two rounds, and it flags outliers: a machine using far more than its neighbours is usually running above the agreed intensity step rather than having a fault.
How much oil should we order each quarter?
Start from about 480ml per machine per quarter at moderate settings, which is roughly 5.8 litres for twelve machines across six sites, then replace that estimate with your own log figure after two rounds. Budget closer to 9.6 litres for twelve machines if sites run at higher intensity or longer hours, and add about a litre against any site with a launch in the window.
Do sample flats need refilling as often as sales offices?
Usually less often. A show apartment runs one intensity step below its sales office, so the same 400ml tank lasts longer there and sits nearer the top of the up-to-75-day range. That difference should appear in your log as confirmation the settings are right, rather than as a surprise at quarter end.
