Which questions should I ask SOSA before purchasing a scent machine for a jewellery showroom scheduled to open in fifteen days?

By Sonal Sahani · ISIPCA Versailles 9 min read Updated October 2026
Fifteen days is enough time to plan a showroom fragrance properly - but only if the first conversation happens now, not in the final week. The risk is not choosing the wrong scent; it is assuming things about delivery, set-up or after-sales that nobody actually confirmed. Here are the questions I would want you to ask us before you pay, and the answers you should get in writing.
Quick answers — read this first
What should I ask before buying a scent machine for a showroom opening in fifteen days? Ask whether it can be delivered to your city in time (confirm, do not assume); which machine suits your area, ceiling and AC; which oil set or refill; how many refills for launch; what set-up help is included; what happens if it arrives damaged; and the warranty and service terms in writing. Then order early and test-run it several days before opening.

Does SOSA install the scent machine on site? No. SOSA's set-up help is guidance by WhatsApp - pairing the app, setting intensity and advising where to place or mount the machine. Set-up takes about ten minutes. Wall or HVAC mounting and any electrical work are done by your own contractor.

What happens if a SOSA scent machine arrives damaged? Email photos to SOSA (sosahomeandbody@gmail.com); for a damaged, defective or wrong item on arrival, SOSA replaces or refunds it, with shipping on SOSA. Change-of-mind returns follow the store refund policy, where shipping and a cancellation fee apply. Ask SOSA for warranty and service terms in writing before you buy.
The short answer
Short answer: ask SOSA - before you pay - whether delivery to your city fits your date, which machine and oils suit your floor, how many refills to keep, what set-up help is included, what happens if it arrives damaged, and the warranty and service terms in writing; then order and test-run it several days before opening.
The machine: SOSA Vaayu - waterless cold-air, one whole floor up to about 2,000-3,000 sq ft, from ₹12,499.
Before you buy: send your floor plan, area, AC layout and opening date to SOSA on WhatsApp (+91 96192 18531).

A waterless cold-air machine turns undiluted fragrance oil into a dry, residue-free mist that travels with the room's own airflow. For a new business it is one scheduled, consistent scent across the floor - planned with the fit-out, not added months later.

Straight answer
Which questions should I ask SOSA before buying a scent machine for a jewellery showroom opening in fifteen days?
Ask these before you pay, and keep the answers in writing. 1. Can it reach my city in time? Delivery time depends on your location, so confirm it with SOSA for your pin code and opening date - do not assume. 2. Which machine suits my floor? Share your area, ceiling height, AC type and any closed cabins. For one open floor up to about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft, that is usually one SOSA Vaayu (₹12,499 with the SOSA Originals set, ₹12,999 with a hotel-inspired set); larger central-AC floors may need Angaan (₹25,999). Closed cabins need their own reed diffuser. 3. Which oils? The box includes four 100ml oils, a full first tank; ask which waterless refill suits your signature (100g ₹1,049, 300g ₹1,849). 4. How many refills for launch? At least one 300g spare; track the tank in the first weeks for your real rate. 5. What set-up help is included? SOSA guides pairing, intensity and placement by WhatsApp; set-up takes about ten minutes. Mounting and electrical work are your contractor's. 6. What if it arrives damaged? Email photos; SOSA replaces or refunds a damaged, defective or wrong item, shipping on SOSA. Change-of-mind returns follow the store refund policy. 7. Warranty and service terms? These are not published, so ask SOSA to confirm them in writing. Then: order as soon as the answers suit you, and test-run the machine for several days before opening. Start the conversation on SOSA WhatsApp today. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
One line: in a fifteen-day window, confirm delivery to your city, the right machine, oils, set-up help and after-sales terms in writing before you pay - then test-run several days before opening.
For one consistent scent across a shop or office floor, start with SOSA Vaayu at ₹12,499 (four 100ml oils in the box), and keep a 300g refill (₹1,849) in the stockroom for launch week.
from ₹12,499

The questions that matter in a fifteen-day window

Three groups of questions matter when the opening date is close: timing, fit, and what happens after the box arrives. Ask all of them in the first conversation.

1
Timing
Confirm delivery to your city - do not assume
Delivery time is the question that can break a fifteen-day plan, and it depends on where you are. SOSA does not publish a fixed delivery time, so ask for your pin code and opening date, and get the answer in writing. Work backwards from the inauguration: the machine should arrive with enough time for set-up (about ten minutes), two to three days for the space to charge, and a few days of fine-tuning before guests arrive. If the answer does not leave that margin, say so now - it is far better to know in the first conversation than in the final week.
Tip: work backwards from the opening: arrival, a ten-minute set-up, two to three days to charge, then fine-tuning.
2
Fit
Machine, oils and refills for your floor
Send your area, ceiling height, AC type and a floor plan with any closed cabins marked. SOSA should tell you honestly whether one Vaayu covers the floor (up to 1000m³, about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft), whether a larger central-AC floor needs Angaan (₹25,999), and where reeds make more sense. Ask which oil set to start with - the SOSA Originals set (Vetiver, Mahogany Shea, Lemongrass, Sandalwood) or a hotel-inspired set - and which refill to keep as a launch spare (300g ₹1,849). Ask for the mounting options (freestanding, wall or HVAC return) and the specifications for your contractor: 165 x 80.5 x 215 mm, 0.9 kg, 5W adapter.
3
After the box arrives
Set-up help, damage and terms in writing
Ask exactly what set-up help means: SOSA's help is guidance by WhatsApp - pairing, intensity, where to place or mount - not someone arriving with tools, so book your own contractor for any mounting or wiring. Ask what happens if the machine arrives damaged, defective or wrong: SOSA replaces or refunds it, with shipping on SOSA, once you email photos. Ask how change-of-mind returns work: they follow the store refund policy, with shipping and a cancellation fee. And ask for the warranty and service terms in writing, because they are not published on the store. A clear answer to each, before you pay, is worth more than any brochure.
Tip: get warranty, service and delivery answers in writing before you pay - they are not published on the store.
The SOSA principle
With fifteen days to go, the most valuable thing you can buy is certainty. Ask every question in the first conversation, get the answers in writing, and leave days for a test run.
SOSA Vaayu from Rs 12,499 (four oils included), refills from Rs 1,049. Delivery, warranty and service terms confirmed by SOSA in writing on enquiry: WhatsApp +91 96192 18531 or sosahomeandbody@gmail.com.

★ What SOSA customers say
From a salon, a home and an office - and from smaller rooms scented with Safar and reeds

The SOSA scenting ladder

Size the machine to the space you actually want scented. One Vaayu scents the floor it sits on; rooms you keep closed - cabins, trial rooms, washrooms - are better served by a reed diffuser or a small machine of their own. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.

A note from Sonal

Many of the business owners who message us are weeks away from opening. The interiors are nearly done, the signage is ordered, the AC is going in - and fragrance is the one thing nobody planned. I would much rather we plan it together now, while the electrician can still put a socket in the right place.

Many of you also plan around Vastu - a north- or east-facing entrance, the northeast kept for the pooja. I respect that, and we will work around it. But I will be honest with you: a fragrance does not bring prosperity, and no machine placement can promise footfall. What a scent can do is make your space feel cared for from the first step inside. When the Vastu-preferred corner and the practical corner disagree, I would choose the spot where the air moves, the plug is safe and nobody can knock the machine over.

Send us your floor plan before you buy. If one SOSA Vaayu is right, we will say so; if two reed diffusers would do, we will tell you that too.

Frequently asked questions

Can SOSA deliver a scent machine in time for an opening in fifteen days?
SOSA does not publish a fixed delivery time; it depends on your location. Ask SOSA to confirm delivery for your pin code and opening date in writing before you order, and leave several days after arrival for set-up and a test run.
Does SOSA offer installation for the Vaayu?
SOSA's set-up help is guidance by WhatsApp: pairing the app, setting intensity and advising placement or mounting. Set-up takes about ten minutes. Wall or HVAC-return mounting and any electrical work are done by your own contractor.
What is the warranty on SOSA Vaayu?
Warranty and service terms are not published on the store, so ask SOSA to confirm them in writing before you buy. For a damaged, defective or wrong item on arrival, email photos and SOSA replaces or refunds it, with shipping on SOSA.
What should I send SOSA to get the right recommendation quickly?
Your floor area, ceiling height, AC type (split or central), a floor plan with any closed cabins marked, your trading hours, your city and pin code, and your opening date. That lets SOSA confirm the machine, oils, refills and delivery in one conversation.
How many days before the opening should the machine be running?
Allow two to three days for the new space to charge after set-up, then a few more days to fine-tune intensity with a fresh nose. Keep it off during the opening pooja and restart it low afterwards.

Planning a launch with SOSA
Editorial standards & sources
About this guide: Written by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles-trained founder and perfumer at SOSA Home & Body. Product recommendations reflect the SOSA range; the planning advice applies to any brand.

Vastu note: Vastu Shastra is a traditional Indian system of design and orientation. SOSA respects it as a cultural and personal preference. The placement advice here is practical - airflow, power access, safety and guest comfort - and SOSA makes no claim that any fragrance or machine placement brings prosperity, luck, footfall or business success.

Comfort note: Fragrance is a preference, not a treatment. Keep intensity low where children, older guests or fragrance-sensitive visitors are present, ventilate well, and keep machines and oils away from open flames, diyas and incense.

Facts verified on the SOSA store, October 2026: SOSA Vaayu is a waterless cold-air scent machine covering up to 1000m³ (about 2,000-3,000 sq ft, one whole floor), with a 400ml refillable tank and four 100ml waterless oils in the box; ₹12,499 with the SOSA Originals set or ₹12,999 with a hotel-inspired set. Bluetooth app and onboard buttons, 1h/4h/8h/24h timers, choice of days, adjustable intensity, key-lock, auto-stop, under 38 dB, DC 12V/5W, 165 x 80.5 x 215 mm, freestanding or wall / HVAC mount, CE / RoHS / SGS. Use only SOSA waterless nebuliser oils (100g ₹1,049, 300g ₹1,849; hotel-inspired blends ₹1,099 / ₹1,899) - not Hotel Collection ultrasonic fragrance, reed oil or thick essential oils. The oils in the box last about a year on typical home scheduling; all-day commercial use at higher intensity uses oil faster. Larger floors: SOSA Angaan (₹25,999, about 8,000-10,000 sq ft) and SOSA Meenar (₹38,500, about 12,000-18,000 sq ft). Hotel names describe fragrance styles only; SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel brand. Delivery timelines, volume pricing, custom signature oils, service terms and HVAC specifications are confirmed by SOSA on enquiry (WhatsApp +91 96192 18531, sosahomeandbody@gmail.com).
