Founder Diaries · Attars, Fragrance Discovery & Buying for Known Tast
Is the trio more expensive than a single large attar? No - and this is the figure that surprises most buyers. The 3 x 3ml trio is ₹1,055 for three bottles, while a single 12ml runs ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 depending on which of the four you choose. The gap between those two routes is ₹94 to ₹144, which is not a budget tier. It is a rounding difference, so price is not what should be choosing for you.
How much fragrance does each route actually contain? The trio tiers are ₹1,055 for 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 for 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 for 3 x 12ml. SOSA publishes exactly one quantity figure anywhere in the attar range - roughly 60 wears in a 3ml at one dab - and no figure at all for a 6ml or a 12ml, so nobody can tell you how many wears a single large bottle holds and the sixty should not be multiplied up.

You have listed four variables - how sure you are of their taste, how willing they are to experiment, how much variety you want to hand over, and what you are prepared to spend - and you are treating them as four dials to balance. They are not four. They are one, plus three that follow from it. The one that decides is confidence, and it happens to be the only one of the four you can test in a single sentence. The rest is arithmetic, and the arithmetic has a surprise in it: three small bottles come to less money than one large one, which means your budget is not the thing making this decision for you, however much it feels like it is.
The comparison that decides this page, in one line. The SOSA Attar Trio is ₹1,055 for 3 x 3ml - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, one fixed combination, all three bottles in the size you select. A single 12ml is ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 across the four attars. Three small bottles therefore sit below one large one, which is why budget cannot settle this and your own certainty has to. Adaa is the fourth attar and is not part of the box.
Quick answers — read this first
Should I buy one 12ml attar or a trio of three smaller bottles? Test your confidence before you look at the price. Finish this sentence out loud: the next bottle should contain ___. If a material comes out - rose, sandalwood, bergamot, oud, saffron, tobacco leaf - buy the single 12ml whose published note list carries it, at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199. If only an adjective comes out, you are not confident, and the 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 is the route that does not require you to be.Is the trio more expensive than a single large attar? No - and this is the figure that surprises most buyers. The 3 x 3ml trio is ₹1,055 for three bottles, while a single 12ml runs ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 depending on which of the four you choose. The gap between those two routes is ₹94 to ₹144, which is not a budget tier. It is a rounding difference, so price is not what should be choosing for you.
How much fragrance does each route actually contain? The trio tiers are ₹1,055 for 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 for 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 for 3 x 12ml. SOSA publishes exactly one quantity figure anywhere in the attar range - roughly 60 wears in a 3ml at one dab - and no figure at all for a 6ml or a 12ml, so nobody can tell you how many wears a single large bottle holds and the sixty should not be multiplied up.
The short answer
Short answer: Confidence decides this, not budget. If you can finish the sentence the next bottle should contain ___ with a material rather than an adjective, buy one 12ml at Rs 1,149 to Rs 1,199. If you cannot, buy breadth: the 3 x 3ml trio is Rs 1,055, which is below the price of any single 12ml, with roughly 60 wears published in each 3ml bottle. The 3 x 6ml trio is Rs 1,859 and the 3 x 12ml is Rs 3,189.
The pick: Name a material and it is one 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199. Name only an adjective and it is the 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055, three fixed directions with roughly 60 wears in each.
Why: The two routes sit within ₹144 of each other, so money is not the variable doing the work. What differs is whether you are buying one answer or three questions - and only your own certainty can settle which of those is the useful gift.
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
I'm choosing between one 12ml attar and an attar trio for someone whose signature perfume I already know - how should confidence in their taste, willingness to experiment, desire for variety and my gifting budget determine whether I choose one targeted scent or three possibilities?
Take them in the order that they actually bite, which is not the order you listed them in. Confidence first, because it is the only one that can decide anything. Knowing a signature tells you where their taste started; it does not tell you where the next bottle should go. So test it: can you finish the next bottle should contain ___ with a material rather than an adjective? Bergamot, Taif rose, Mysore sandalwood, white royal oud, Persian saffron, aged tobacco leaf are materials, and each one maps onto a published note list. Something nicer, something more grown-up, something special are adjectives, and they map onto nothing. Willingness to experiment comes second, and it is not yours to assess - SOSA publishes nothing about how any person responds to a fragrance, and neither does this page. What you can notice is that a small bottle asks a question and a large bottle asserts an answer, which makes the small tier the easier one to decline gracefully. Variety is third, and it is not a separate variable at all - it is simply what breadth costs you in depth. Budget is last, because it does not separate the two routes. The SOSA Attar Trio is ₹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 bottles bought one at a time - a saving of ₹118, ₹204 and ₹354, ten per cent at every tier. A single 12ml runs ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 across the four attars. So three bottles sit below one, and the gap is ₹94 to ₹144. Three limits worth stating before you order: the trio is one fixed combination of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani in a single size, and Adaa is not part of it; the box is published as an evening set, so a bright, citrus-led brief is the wrong brief for it; and roughly 60 wears is a 3ml figure only, with nothing published for the larger sizes. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
Name a material and buy one bottle. Manage only an adjective and buy three. Price does not get a vote here.
The quick version: confidence decides, budget does not. Finish the next bottle should contain ___. A material means one 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199. An adjective means the 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055, which sits below the price of any single large bottle, with roughly 60 wears in each of its three 3ml bottles. Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani every time - Adaa is bought separately from ₹379.
The SOSA Attar Trio from ₹1,055
Four variables, and only one of them decides anything
Most people work this decision from the wrong end - they start with what they can spend and reason backwards to what it should be spent on. Start with what you actually know instead, because the two routes are close enough in price that money cannot tell them apart, and the three factors below run in the order that they genuinely bite.
01
Confidence, and how to test it
A material names the bottle. An adjective names your hope
This is the whole decision compressed into one sentence, so say it out loud rather than thinking it. The next bottle should contain ___. If what comes out is a material, you are confident and you should spend like it. Bergamot, green cardamom and neroli point at Adaa at ₹1,149 in 12ml. Taif rose and Persian saffron point at Ameeri at ₹1,165. Night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose point at Mastani at ₹1,179. White royal oud and aged tobacco leaf point at Nawaab at ₹1,199. Every one of those is a published note list you can check before you pay.
If what comes out is an adjective - nicer, richer, more sophisticated, more them - then you are not confident, you are hopeful, and a single 12ml converts hope into one large object that has to sit somewhere. That is the case breadth exists for. The test is not a personality quiz; it is a check on whether you have information or only intention.

That is the case breadth exists for. The test is not a personality quiz; it is a check on whether you have information or only intention.
Tip: A material can be matched to a published list. An adjective can only be matched to your own optimism.
02
Their appetite for the unfamiliar
The one variable you cannot settle by thinking harder
You listed willingness to experiment as though it were something you could estimate more carefully. It is a fact about another person, and SOSA publishes nothing about it - no page in the range says a word about how anybody responds to a fragrance, and nothing here will invent one. What you can reason about is the shape of the two purchases rather than the person. A 12ml of something unfamiliar is an assertion: it says this is the direction, in a quantity that has to be used or ignored, and ignoring it is conspicuous. Three 3ml bottles are a question: at roughly 60 wears each they are enough to be tried properly and small enough that trying one and setting it aside costs nobody anything. If the recipient is somebody who has worn one thing for a decade, the question is the more graceful object to put in front of them - not because it will be received better, which nobody can promise, but because it demands less of them structurally.
03
Variety and budget
Three bottles come to less money than one, which settles the budget question
Here are the published figures with nothing added to them. The trio is ₹1,055 for 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 for 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 for 3 x 12ml. A single 12ml is ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 across the four attars. So the smallest trio sits below the cheapest single large bottle, by a gap of ₹94 to ₹144 depending on which bottle you were considering. That is not a budget tier, it is a rounding difference, and it means the money is not choosing for you however much it feels like the deciding factor.
What does differ is what the money holds. SOSA publishes roughly 60 wears in a 3ml at one dab, and no quantity figure whatsoever for a 6ml or a 12ml. So the honest comparison is three bottles of a known trial size against one bottle of an unpublished one - and nobody, including this page, can tell you how many wears sit in a 12ml, because sixty is a 3ml figure and multiplying it up would be an invention. Variety, in other words, is not a fifth thing you are buying. It is the shape the same money takes when you are not certain.

Tip: ₹1,055 for three, or ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 for one. Budget is not what separates these two routes.
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.

Work it out in this order
The whole decision in four lines
- Finish this out loud: the next bottle should contain ___. Material or adjective?
- A material? Buy that one 12ml at Rs 1,149 to Rs 1,199 and stop deliberating.
- Only an adjective? Buy breadth. The 3 x 3ml trio is Rs 1,055 for three bottles.
- Budget last. The gap between those routes is Rs 94 to Rs 144, not a tier.
The SOSA principle
The two routes cost almost the same. What they differ in is who gets to be right - you, at the counter, or them, three weeks later.
Which is why the test is a sentence rather than a sum. If you can name the material, spend like somebody who knows. If you cannot, do not spend like one.
What each route buys, at the published numbers
If the test comes out as a material, here is what each single 12ml actually publishes. Adaa at ₹1,149 - bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood, published as the lightest of the four and as the daytime attar. Ameeri at ₹1,165 - Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, Persian saffron, a soft oudh, amber and white musk. Mastani at ₹1,179 - night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka. Nawaab at ₹1,199 - white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, with agarwood, leather, vetiver and amber, published as the deepest of the four. And if the test comes out as an adjective, the trio holds three of those four in one size - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, always the same three, with Adaa sold separately from ₹379.
The SOSA gift edit
The four routes, at the published numbers, with the failure of each
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| One 12ml, chosen, at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 | The right purchase when the material test comes out as a material. It buys depth in a direction you can defend, and the bottle is large enough to become part of a routine rather than an experiment. Where it breaks: it is one direction, and SOSA publishes no wear figure for a 12ml, so you cannot even say how long it will run. |
| The trio, 3 x 3ml at ₹1,055 | The right purchase when the test comes out as an adjective. Three published directions, roughly 60 wears in each bottle, and it costs below any single 12ml. Where it breaks: the combination is fixed at Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, it is published as an evening set, and Adaa is not in it. |
| The trio, 3 x 6ml at ₹1,859 | The awkward middle, and it should be chosen deliberately rather than as a compromise. It is breadth at a size you expect to be used up rather than assessed. Where it breaks: it costs more than a single large bottle while still being three unfamiliar things, and no wear figure is published at 6ml to justify the step up. |
| The trio, 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 | Breadth and supply at once - the wardrobe purchase, for when you already expect all three to be worn through rather than sorted between. Where it breaks: it is the most expensive way to be uncertain, and three large bottles of unfamiliar scent is a lot of oil to hand somebody who asked for none. |
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.
See the SOSA Attar Trio from ₹1,055 →
Two things that apply to both routes and are worth knowing before you commit. The trio price exists only for the fixed combination in one size. Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, all three in the size you select - if you want a different three, or three different sizes, you buy the bottles individually at full price and the trio price stops applying. In 3ml that would be ₹1,173 for those same three against ₹1,055 in the box, which is the ₹118 the trio price is worth at that tier. And the published performance is identical whichever route you take: 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, a drydown that develops after the first 30 minutes, a built-in dab applicator used on pulse points and not rubbed, and oils that can stain light silks, so skin rather than fabric.
₹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.
Three bottles come to less money than one. So this was never a budget decision - it was a question about how much you actually know.
— 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
Does the trio cost more than a single 12ml attar?
No, it costs below one. The 3 x 3ml trio is Rs 1,055 for three bottles, while a single 12ml runs from Rs 1,149 for Adaa up to Rs 1,199 for Nawaab. The gap is Rs 94 to Rs 144 depending on which single bottle you were weighing it against. The larger trio tiers do cost more - Rs 1,859 for 3 x 6ml and Rs 3,189 for 3 x 12ml - but the smallest one sits underneath every single large bottle in the range.
How many wears does a 12ml attar hold?
SOSA does not publish that figure, and this page will not estimate it. The only quantity figure published anywhere in the attar range is roughly 60 wears in a 3ml at one dab, which appears on the Nawaab page. Nothing is published for a 6ml or a 12ml, and multiplying sixty by four to reach a 12ml number would be an invention rather than a calculation.
If I go the single-bottle route, which 12ml should it be?
Match the material to the published note list rather than to a mood. Bergamot, green cardamom and neroli are Adaa at Rs 1,149. Taif rose, Persian saffron and Indian sandalwood are Ameeri at Rs 1,165. Night-blooming jasmine, Damask rose, vanilla and tonka are Mastani at Rs 1,179. White royal oud, aged tobacco leaf and agarwood are Nawaab at Rs 1,199. What anybody makes of the bottle once it is on their skin is not something SOSA publishes.
Can I buy the trio in mixed sizes, say one 12ml and two 3ml?
No. All three bottles in a trio come in the single size you select, and SOSA's own page states that mixed sizes means buying the three attars individually at full price, without the trio price. In practice that is Ameeri at Rs 385, Nawaab at Rs 399 and Mastani at Rs 389 in 3ml, or their 6ml and 12ml prices, added up line by line.
Is there a two-bottle version if the trio is more than I want to spend?
There is not - the trio is one fixed combination of three and nothing smaller is published. Two attars bought singly are simply two full prices: Ameeri at Rs 385 and Nawaab at Rs 399 in 3ml comes to Rs 784, for example. The other route down is a single 3ml on its own, from Rs 379, which buys roughly 60 wears in one direction rather than three.
Take the next step
Decide with the sentence, not with the total
The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when the material test came out as an adjective - three published directions, roughly 60 wears in each bottle. ₹1,859 in 3 x 6ml or ₹3,189 in 3 x 12ml when you already expect all three to be worn through. A single 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 when you named a material and can point to the published list that carries it. And Adaa from ₹379 when the direction is bright and light, because the box is published as an evening set.
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.
