Is the SOSA trio built around contrast? No. Nothing in it was assembled to a brief. The SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed published combination - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, with all three bottles in the single size you select. The three differ from one another because that is what SOSA published, not because anything was arranged around a recipient. Adaa, the lightest of the four attars, is outside the box and is sold on its own from ₹379.
What does the trio cost against the same three bottles bought one at a time? ₹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 - a saving of ₹118, ₹204 and ₹354, which is ten per cent at every tier. All three bottles come in one gift-ready box.

Five bottles in one direction is not a gap in a cupboard. It is a decision somebody made and then kept making, which means the sixth bottle in that direction is the one purchase certain to add nothing - whatever it does, she already owns something that does it. So the instinct behind your question is sound. What has to be said before the answer is any use is that no SOSA set was assembled to a brief. The published trio is a fixed combination of three bottles that happen to be unlike each other and unlike what she owns, and that is a fact about what SOSA published rather than an arrangement made around a person.
The set most of these questions arrive at, and the one fact most of them get wrong: it is a fixed combination. The SOSA Attar Trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 in 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 in 3 x 12ml, against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 bought singly. All three bottles come in the size you pick, Adaa is not in it, and nobody chooses the three. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle.
Quick answers — read this first
Is a contrasting fragrance a better gift than another bottle in the direction somebody already wears? It is at least a different gift. A sixth bottle in a direction she has already chosen five times is a restock with a different label on it. The SOSA Attar Trio is ₹1,055 for three 3ml bottles - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - and a 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab, which is long enough to form an opinion rather than a first reaction. What she makes of any of the three is not something SOSA publishes.Is the SOSA trio built around contrast? No. Nothing in it was assembled to a brief.

The short answer
Short answer: Do not buy a sixth bottle in a direction she has already chosen five times. The SOSA Attar Trio is Rs 1,055 in 3 x 3ml, Rs 1,859 in 3 x 6ml and Rs 3,189 in 3 x 12ml, and it is one fixed set of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani. It was not assembled around a contrast, and the SOSA range holds no gourmand attar at all.
The pick: The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 - three unlike directions at roughly 60 wears each, rather than a sixth bottle of something she has already settled.
Why: Five bottles in one direction draw a boundary and nothing more. Three unfamiliar directions on her own wrist are the only way her opinion gets into the decision instead of yours.
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
My friend owns five sweet designer perfumes and I'm worried a sixth will add nothing new - could a trio be deliberately built around contrast instead of similarity?
Two things have to be corrected before this is any use. The first is that no page here will characterise what she already owns. SOSA publishes nothing about designer perfume as a category, so there is no claim on this page about how such bottles are made, what is in them or how they stand against an attar - no comparison, no resemblance, nothing. The one usable piece of information in those five bottles is a boundary: sweetness is not objectionable to her. The second is that no SOSA set was assembled to a brief. The SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed published combination - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, with all three bottles in the single size you select. The three are genuinely unlike one another, and that is a property of the published set, not an arrangement made around your friend. Adaa sits outside it and is sold separately from ₹379; a different three, or three different sizes, means buying the bottles individually and the trio price no longer applies. The tiers are ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 in 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 in 3 x 12ml, against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 bought singly. Three limits, because they change the decision. There is no gourmand or dessert-sweet attar in the SOSA range - Mastani carries vanilla and tonka in the base of a floral built on night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over sandalwood and oudh, and that is the closest the range comes. The trio is published as an evening set of depth, warmth and floral, so a fresh and citrus-led taste is the wrong fit for it. And nothing here can tell you which of the three she would reach for, because SOSA publishes no information of that kind about anybody. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
A sixth bottle in the same direction is a top-up. Three unlike ones are the only way she gets to answer the question.
The quick version: the 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when the point is three unlike things on skin, 3 x 6ml at ₹1,859 or 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 when you expect all three to be worn through, and Mastani on its own at ₹389 in 3ml or ₹1,179 in 12ml when one warm floral with vanilla and tonka in the base is the whole answer. Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani every time in the box - Adaa is sold separately from ₹379.
See Mastani from ₹389
Three things this turns on, and the first is what nobody is allowed to claim
The question underneath yours is not which scent. It is what a cupboard full of one direction actually tells you, and the honest answer is: less than it looks. Three things decide this purchase.
01
What five bottles tell you
A repeated direction is a boundary, not a brief
Five bottles in one direction reliably tell you one thing: that direction is not objectionable to her. They do not tell you it is her favourite of everything available, because a cupboard is a record of what somebody bought, not of what they tried and turned down. This page also will not describe those five bottles. SOSA publishes nothing about designer perfume as a category, so there is no claim here about how such bottles are built, what they contain or how they compare with an attar - no resemblance, no alternative, no comparison of any kind. The boundary is the only usable fact, and it is worth having: it tells you sweetness is safe ground and it tells you nothing about anything else.
Tip: A repeated purchase records what was bought, not what was tested.
02
What the box actually is
The trio is fixed, and nothing in it was arranged around a contrast
This is the fact most versions of this question get wrong, so it is worth being blunt. The SOSA Attar Trio is one published combination: Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani. It was not composed to a brief, it cannot be recomposed, and every bottle in it comes in the single size you select - ₹1,055 for three 3ml, ₹1,859 for three 6ml and ₹3,189 for three 12ml. The three bottles are unlike one another, which is what makes the idea in your question work at all, but that is a property of the published set rather than a brief anybody filled. Adaa, the fourth attar and the lightest of the four, sits outside the box and is sold separately from ₹379. SOSA's own page states that a different three, or three different sizes, means buying the bottles individually and the trio price no longer applies.
03
Size, and what it buys
Sixty wears is the difference between a trial and a sample
The smallest tier is the interesting one here, because the job is comparison rather than supply. A 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab - enough to wear something unfamiliar on an ordinary working day, notice what it does after the first thirty minutes, and arrive at a view that is not a shop-counter reaction. Three of those at ₹1,055 is a week of evidence rather than a guess. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin. The 6ml and 12ml tiers at ₹1,859 and ₹3,189 are the right call when you already expect all three to be used rather than sorted through - and note that SOSA publishes no wear figure at all for a 6ml or a 12ml, so nobody should be scaling that sixty up for you.
Tip: Three bottles she can live with beat one bottle you felt confident about.
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.
See Adaa from ₹379 →
Work it out in this order
Work it out in this sequence and the size question answers itself
- Treat the five bottles as a boundary, not a target. Sweet is safe ground.
- Decide: breadth, to find out, or depth in a direction you already trust?
- Check the box. It is an evening set of three, and Adaa is sold on its own.
- Then size it. 3ml trio at Rs 1,055 is the trial; 12ml at Rs 3,189 is supply.
The SOSA principle
The gift is not a better guess at her taste. It is three unfamiliar things on her own wrist, and her verdict in place of yours.
Which is why the smallest tier is not the cheap version of this purchase. It is the one matched to the job.
What the three bottles are, and what makes them unlike one another
Three directions sit in the box and they are genuinely different from one another. Ameeri is the warm one - Taif rose and Persian saffron over Indian sandalwood, with a measured oudh underneath and amber and white musk in the base. Nawaab is the deep one, and SOSA publishes it as the deepest of the four: white royal oud led, dry and woody, with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, and agarwood, leather, vetiver and amber behind them. Mastani is the floral one, and it is the bottle that comes nearest to a warm sweet base without being a sweet fragrance: night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood and oudh, with vanilla and tonka underneath. Worth stating flatly, because it is the whole shape of this decision: there is no gourmand attar in the SOSA range, and the trio is not a sweet set.
The SOSA gift edit
The four ways to spend this money, and where each one fails
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| A sixth bottle in the direction she already owns | Certain to be usable and certain to add nothing. She has five things that do this already, so the sixth is a top-up wearing a bow. It is also the option she could have bought herself on any Tuesday. |
| The SOSA Attar Trio, 3 x 3ml at ₹1,055 | Three fixed directions at roughly 60 wears each - a week of real wearing rather than one guess. The limits are real: you do not choose the three, all three come in the one size, and it is published as an evening set of depth, warmth and floral. |
| Mastani on its own, ₹389 in 3ml or ₹1,179 in 12ml | The single bottle nearest to a warm sweet base, and it is still a floral - night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood and oudh, with vanilla and tonka underneath. One direction, no comparison to run, so it answers a narrower question than the box does. |
| Adaa on its own, from ₹379 | The far end of the range from what she owns - bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood. It is the lightest of the four and it is not part of the trio, so this is a separate line on the order at its own price. |
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 →
One practical note, because it settles more of these purchases than the scent does. All four attars are alcohol-free and DPG-free, carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, IFRA-compliant and hand-blended in small batches in Pune by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles trained. Each bottle has a built-in dab applicator, and the published instruction is to dab on pulse points and not to rub. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin rather than straight onto fabric. The trio's three bottles come in a single gift-ready box, which is the one presentation SOSA publishes; beyond that, custom label or logo on product is the only branding option there is.
₹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.
Five bottles in one direction is not a hint about the sixth. It is proof that the sixth is the purchase that changes nothing.
— 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.

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
Can I choose which three attars go in the trio?
No. The SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed combination - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - and all three bottles come in the single size you select. Adaa, the fourth attar, is outside it and is sold separately from Rs 379. If you want a different three, or three different sizes, you buy the bottles individually and the trio price no longer applies.
Is the trio a sweet or gourmand set?
No. There is no gourmand or dessert-sweet attar anywhere in the SOSA range. Mastani carries vanilla and tonka, but in the base of a floral built on night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood and oudh. The other two are a warm rose-and-saffron composition and a white royal oud. SOSA publishes the trio as depth, warmth and floral.
Does contrast make a better gift than similarity?
SOSA publishes nothing that would answer that about any individual, and this page is not going to invent it. What can be said is narrower. A sixth bottle in a direction she has chosen five times is the one purchase she could have made for herself, and three unfamiliar directions at roughly 60 wears each are how her own opinion gets into the decision rather than yours.
How long does each attar last on skin?
6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown developing after the first thirty minutes. That is the whole of SOSA's published wear disclosure - no sillage, projection or room-distance figure is published anywhere on the product pages, and none is invented here.
What if she also wants something light for the daytime?
That is Adaa, and it is bought on its own: bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood, at Rs 379 in 3ml, Rs 669 in 6ml and Rs 1,149 in 12ml. It is the lightest of the four attars and it is not part of the trio, so it goes on the order as a second line at its own price.
Take the next step
Decide whether you are buying breadth or depth, then stop deliberating
The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when the point is to put three different things on their skin and find out - roughly 60 wears in each bottle, so it is a real trial rather than a sample. The 3 x 6ml at ₹1,859 or 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 when you already expect all three to be worn. A single 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 when you know the direction and breadth would be wasted. And Adaa on its own from ₹379 when what you know about their taste is that it is light and fresh, because the trio is published as an evening set. Tell SOSA what they already wear on WhatsApp.
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.
