Founder Diaries · Reed Diffuser & Home Fragrance Gifting
Is a commemorative gift a good idea for a house that took years? It is the instinctive one and it carries a cost. A keepsake with a date on it has to be displayed, which puts it inside a scheme that two people resolved slowly and deliberately. Something that is not an object in the room avoids that entirely, which is the whole argument for this category.
Does a bigger house mean a bigger machine? No. SOSA Meenar at ₹38,500 is published for 12,000 to 18,000 sq ft and is built for hotels, showrooms and corporate floors, so in a house it is the wrong machine rather than the more ambitious one. What decides the choice is how much of the floor is one connected body of air, not total built-up area.

The difference is real and it does change the shortlist. A purchase has a date on it; a culmination has a duration. A house that was bought is marked by acknowledging an event, and almost anything pleasant does that adequately. A house that was planned, drawn, revised, built, delayed and finally finished is not an event at all - it is the end of a long stretch of somebody's life in which every visible decision inside that building was already made, argued over and made again. What is left to give is narrower than it looks, and more interesting.
Why this works as the gift for an ending rather than a transaction: it is finished on the day it is opened. Every SOSA Vaayu at ₹11,999 comes with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances, 100 ml each, in one of three published four-scent sets. The machine itself is waterless cold-air diffusion, published for up to 1000 m3, about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected air, running under 38 dB on 1, 4, 8 or 24-hour windows. SOSA blends described as hotel-inspired are SOSA's own interpretations, and SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel brand.
Quick answers — read this first
How should a gift differ when the recipients built their house rather than bought it? Aim at what the years did not cover rather than at commemorating the years. Everything visible in a built house was specified by somebody; the layer nobody specified is scent. SOSA Vaayu at ₹11,999 is published for up to 1000 m3, about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected air, at under 38 dB, with 1, 4, 8 or 24-hour scheduling.Is a commemorative gift a good idea for a house that took years?

What decides the choice is how much of the floor is one connected body of air, not total built-up area.
The short answer
Short answer: A culmination is marked by adding the one layer the years never covered, not by commemorating the years. In a built house that layer is scent, because nobody was ever retained to decide it. SOSA Vaayu is Rs 11,999 for up to about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected air, under 38 dB, and it comes with four 100 ml fragrances.
The pick: A SOSA Vaayu at ₹11,999 where the main floor is one connected volume, and reed diffusers from ₹749 where the plan is a set of closed rooms.
Why: It adds the one layer that never appeared on a drawing, it asks for no space in a scheme resolved over years, it runs under 38 dB on a schedule, and it is complete the day it is opened.
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
This house is the culmination of years of planning and construction, not a purchase. How should that change what I choose?
It changes two things, and they pull in opposite directions. It raises the temptation to commemorate, and it narrows what is actually still available. Take the second first, because it is the useful one. In a house that was built rather than bought, every visible category was specified by somebody with the authority to specify it - the volumes, the finishes, the joinery, the lighting, the sanitaryware, the furniture and the art, each one decided slowly and usually more than once. There is exactly one layer of a finished house that no profession owns, that appears on no drawing and has no line in any budget: what the place smells like. That is why it is still open to a gift-giver, and why adding it cannot read as a revision of anybody's work. The commemorative instinct is the one to resist. A keepsake with a date on it is an object that has to be displayed, which is precisely the scarce resource in a house that was resolved over years. SOSA Vaayu at ₹11,999 is the machine answer: waterless cold-air diffusion, a dry residue-free mist with no water and no heat, published for up to 1000 m3, stated as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft, with a 400ml refillable tank, Bluetooth app plus onboard buttons, run windows of 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours with day scheduling and adjustable intensity, under 38 dB, DC 12V / 1A at 5W, 165 x 80.5 x 215 mm and 0.9 kg, black or white, freestanding or wall and HVAC mounted, CE, RoHS and SGS marked, made in India, and supplied with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances of 100 ml each. The honest limits, stated rather than buried: a coverage rating assumes one connected body of air, so it suits an open floor and not a plan of closed rooms; no figure is published for what a second unit adds; and fragrance adds a scent rather than removing, neutralising or purifying one. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
A purchase invites congratulation. A culmination invites nothing at all, which is why the useful question is not how to mark it but what the years left uncovered.
The shape of it: Vaayu at ₹11,999 for a main floor that is one connected volume of about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft, under 38 dB, four 100 ml fragrances in the box.

What changes about the shortlist when the house took years rather than a signature
Three questions. The first is about what a culmination actually needs, the second is the only measurement that matters, and the third is the small print worth reading before you commit.
1
First
What a culmination needs, and what it does not
There is a reflex to mark a long process with something that refers to it - a date, a photograph, an object that stands for the years. It is a generous reflex and it has a practical problem. Anything commemorative has to be displayed to work, and display space in a house that was resolved slowly is the single most contested resource in the building. Two people who spent years deciding where a light lands do not have a spare surface waiting for a symbol.
Run the opposite test instead. Rather than asking what represents the years, ask what the years did not cover. Walk through the categories a built house has been through: civil work, electrical, plumbing, flooring, joinery, lighting, furniture, textiles, art. Each had a specialist, a drawing and an argument. Now ask which layer of a finished home had none of those.
Nobody is retained to decide what a house smells like. There is no scent consultant in an Indian residential project, no scent sheet in the drawings and no scent entry in the handover. That absence is the opening, and it is also the reason this addition cannot read as a comment on anybody's judgement. You are not revising a decision. You are supplying one that was never taken.

Second
How much of the finished house is one connected body of air?
One measurement decides the price of this gift, and it is not the built-up area printed on the plan. Vaayu publishes a coverage figure, which most home fragrance avoids doing: up to 1000 m3, stated on the product page as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft. The qualifier is the part to hold on to. A rating assumes one connected body of air.
So walk it rather than calculating it. If the entrance runs into living, living runs into dining, and a stairwell or double-height space opens above with nothing shut between them, that is one volume and it is what the figure describes. It is also the exact situation in which a small passive bottle underperforms, because a bottle scents its own immediate surroundings and nothing beyond.
If the house instead resolves into rooms with doors that stay closed - common in a plan designed for a joint family, and common wherever air conditioning is zoned - the figure does not carry across. The accurate gift is then reed diffusers from ₹749, or a duo set from ₹1,498, in the rooms with the most traffic. That costs a fraction and it is a better gift, not a lesser one. No guidance is published on what a second machine adds, so a very large connected floor is a question for WhatsApp rather than a multiplication.

Third
The small print, including the part SOSA contradicts itself on
Quiet, and scheduled. Published operation is under 38 dB, with a Bluetooth app or the onboard buttons setting run windows of 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours, chosen days and adjustable intensity, plus auto-stop and a key-lock. In a house where somebody cared how a double-height room sounds, a machine that hummed would be a poor gift, and one that ran all day in an empty building would be a careless one.
Complete on opening. It comes with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances, 100 ml each, in one of three published four-scent sets, all at the same price. That matters for an occasion like this, because a gift that needs a second purchase before it works is not finished, and this one is. SOSA waterless nebuliser refills afterwards are ₹1,049 for 100 gm and ₹1,849 for 300 gm; it takes water-free oil made for cold-air diffusion rather than the water-based bottles belonging to the ultrasonic machines.
And the figure not to quote. The product page gives the life of a 400ml fill two different ways - about 75 days in its specification data and 90 or more in its body copy - and it follows intensity and scheduled hours regardless. Ask on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531. Also not published, and therefore not claimed here: no warranty period, no installation service, no running cost and no app or connection detail. Bespoke composition, a fragrance composed by Sonal, is a real SOSA service and is discussed on the same number.

Tip: Everything above is on the product page. Everything absent from it stays absent from this one.
Read the number strictly, not generously
About 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft - of air that is actually connected
Vaayu publishes a coverage figure, which almost nothing in home fragrance does: up to 1000 m3, stated as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft. The caveat matters more than the number. A rating assumes one connected body of air. A ground floor that runs living into dining into a stairwell is one volume and is exactly what the figure describes. A bungalow of the same total area with six closed doors is not one volume, it is six rooms, and the figure does not transfer. Work out how much of the house is genuinely open before you work out anything else - and note that no guidance is published on what a second unit adds.
See SOSA Vaayu ₹11,999 →
Work it out in this order
Five minutes of thinking, ten minutes of walking
- Drop the commemorative idea. Display space is the scarcest thing in that house.
- List what the build covered, then find the layer that had no specialist.
- Walk the main floor and see how much of it is open with no door shut.
- Ask on WhatsApp what a 400ml fill lasts before you promise anybody a number.
The SOSA principle
A house that was built rather than bought has had every visible category decided by somebody with the authority to decide it. The only layer with no specialist, no drawing and no budget line is what the place smells like, and that is precisely why it is the one thing a gift can still add.
It is a more useful frame than price, because it explains both why an inexpensive bottle can be exactly right and why a larger machine is sometimes plainly the wrong instrument for a house.
Which four-scent set, and what is settled the day it is opened
Three four-scent sets are published and all three are ₹11,999, which makes this a question of taste rather than of tier: Ritz-Carlton with Westin, St. Regis and 1 Hotels inspirations; Westin with Shangri-La, Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton; and St. Regis with W Hotels, 1 Hotels and Four Seasons. Worth stating plainly: these are SOSA's own hotel-inspired interpretations, composed by SOSA, and SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel brand. For a house that took years, there is a genuine argument to have with yourself about the hotel register. A lobby is a place designed to be passed through, and a house finished after a long build is the opposite of that - so the four 100 ml bottles are doing something more useful than variety. They hand the final decision to the people who made every other decision in the building, which is the correct place for it to sit. If none of the four fits, the waterless nebuliser oils at ₹1,049 for 100 gm are a small adjustment.
The SOSA gift edit
Four ways to mark a culmination, and where each one runs out
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| SOSA Vaayu · ₹11,999 | Adds a layer the build never covered, reaches up to about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected air at under 38 dB, runs on a 1, 4, 8 or 24-hour schedule and is complete in the box. It runs out where the plan is closed rooms, and where the recipients will not set a schedule even once. |
| A reed duo set · ₹1,498 to ₹2,598 | Two bottles, about 6 to 10 weeks, no socket and nothing to operate. Right for a house that resolved into separate rooms, and right for recipients who want nothing to think about. It runs out in a large open volume, where passive bottles reach their own immediate surroundings. |
| SOSA attars · from ₹379 | Worn rather than placed, so nothing at all enters the house. The correct instinct when the gift is really about the two people rather than the building. It runs out as an answer to this specific question, because it marks a person and the thing being marked here is a completed property. |
| A keepsake with a date on it · any price | The reflex answer to a long process. It has to be displayed to work, and display space is the most contested resource in a house resolved over years. It runs out immediately unless you know the scheme well enough to be sure it belongs, which is a high bar and worth being honest about. |
The two details that matter in a finished house
Under 38 dB, and it runs only when you tell it to
Two published details decide whether this belongs in a house somebody spent years on. It runs under 38 dB, which is the answer to the reasonable worry about a machine humming in a double-height living room. And it is scheduled: Bluetooth app plus onboard buttons, run windows of 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours, chosen days and adjustable intensity, with auto-stop and a key-lock. That is what makes it workable in a house occupied for part of the year, or a room used only when people come over. It is 165 x 80.5 x 215 mm and 0.9 kg, black or white, freestanding or wall and HVAC mounted, and it ships with four 100 ml fragrances - so it is complete on the day it arrives.
See the nebuliser refills from ₹1,049 →
On the rest of the range, because a long build tends to make people reach upward. SOSA Meenar at ₹38,500 is published for 12,000 to 18,000 sq ft and is a commercial machine for a hotel, a showroom or a corporate floor - in a house it is not the grander gesture, it is a specification error, and to somebody who spent years reading specifications it will read as one. Below Vaayu, the ultrasonics - Boond at ₹899, Sukoon at ₹1,899 and Megh at ₹5,999 - are water-based, suit one room, and need water and regular topping up, a recurring task for people who did not pick the machine. SOSA Safar at ₹3,999 is portable and goes with a person to a car or a hotel room rather than scenting a property, and it is imported rather than made in India. Each answers a different question. The question on this page is a finished building and one connected volume inside it.
₹11,999. Up to 1000 m3, stated as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected volume. A 400ml tank, Bluetooth app plus onboard buttons, 1h/4h/8h/24h run windows and adjustable intensity. Under 38 dB.
₹11,999
165 x 80.5 x 215 mm and 0.9 kg, in black or white, freestanding on a surface or wall and HVAC mounted. DC 12V / 1A at 5W, with auto-stop and a key-lock, and CE, RoHS and SGS marks.
0.9 kg · under 38 dB
Every Vaayu ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances, 100 ml each, in one of three published four-scent sets. So it is complete on arrival, which matters more for a gift than it sounds.
four x 100 ml included
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.
Everything you can see in that house was decided by somebody who was paid to decide it. The one layer nobody was ever asked about is the one still waiting for a gift.
— 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 range, sorted by how much air it is meant to handle
Start from the architecture, not from the budget
| Product | What it is | What it is for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOSA Vaayu | Waterless cold-air scent machine | Up to 1000 m3, stated as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected volume - a 400ml tank, Bluetooth app and onboard buttons, 1h/4h/8h/24h scheduling, adjustable intensity, under 38 dB | ₹11,999 |
| SOSA Meenar | The commercial-scale machine | Published for 12,000 to 18,000 sq ft - a hotel, showroom or corporate answer rather than a home one, and rarely the right gift | ₹38,500 |
| SOSA reed diffuser duo sets | Two bottles, two rooms | ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 in 50ml x 2 and ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 in 130ml x 2, about 6 to 10 weeks - passive, and running whether or not anybody is in the house | from ₹1,498 |
| SOSA reed diffusers | One room at a time | ₹749 to ₹849 in 50ml and ₹1,249 to ₹1,349 in 130ml - nothing to schedule, nothing to plug in, and no control over when it runs | from ₹749 |
| SOSA ultrasonic machines | Water-based, single room | Boond ₹899, Sukoon ₹1,899 and Megh ₹5,999 - they need water, a socket and regular refilling, and they suit one room rather than a connected floor | from ₹899 |
| SOSA Safar | Portable, cordless, 6.9 cm | ₹3,999 - it goes with a person to a car, a bag or a hotel room. It does not scent a property, and it is imported rather than made in India | ₹3,999 |
| SOSA attars | Alcohol-free roll-on oil | Worn on the body rather than placed in a room - the right answer when the gift is about the person and not the house | from ₹379 |
A coverage rating assumes one connected body of air. Vaayu's figure describes an open-plan volume - a living-dining floor, a duplex's main level, a double-height hall. A house with every internal door shut is not one volume, and the figure does not transfer to it. Every Vaayu ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances, 100 ml each, and its country of origin is India. Fragrance adds a scent to a space; it does not remove, neutralise or purify one, and the dry residue-free mist is a statement about residue rather than about air quality. SOSA blends described as hotel-inspired are SOSA's own interpretations and SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel brand. Prices above are published retail prices; bulk orders are welcome and quantities are settled on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531. SOSA is an Indian fragrance house based in Pune. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
The honest spec sheet
What the Vaayu page publishes, and what it does not
Everything below is on the live product page. Anything not on this list is not something a page like this should state.
- Coverage - up to 1000 m3, published as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft. A rating assumes one connected body of air, so it describes an open-plan floor rather than a house of closed rooms.
- The machine - waterless cold-air diffusion, dry and residue-free, no water and no heat. 165 x 80.5 x 215 mm, 0.9 kg, black or white, freestanding or wall and HVAC mounted. DC 12V / 1A, 5W. Under 38 dB. Auto-stop and key-lock. CE, RoHS and SGS. Country of origin India.
- Control - a 400ml refillable tank, Bluetooth app plus onboard buttons, run windows of 1h, 4h, 8h or 24h, day scheduling and adjustable intensity. This is what makes it workable in a house that is empty for stretches, or a room used only at weekends.
- In the box - every Vaayu ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances, 100 ml each, in one of three published four-scent sets, all at ₹11,999. SOSA blends described as hotel-inspired are SOSA's own interpretations and SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel brand.
- The fragrance - alcohol-free, water-free oils formulated for cold-air diffusion. SOSA waterless nebuliser refills are ₹1,049 for 100 gm and ₹1,849 for 300 gm and are published for Vaayu and Safar. The water-based ultrasonic bottles belong to a different kind of machine.
- Not published, and therefore never stated here: how long a 400ml fill lasts as a single figure - the page says about 75 days in one place and 90 or more in another; what a second unit adds; any warranty period, service interval or filter; any installation service; any app name, phone compatibility or Bluetooth range; and any running or electricity cost. Those go to WhatsApp +91 96192 18531.
Not sure whether the house needs a machine or a bottle? Tell SOSA on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 four things: roughly how much of the ground floor is one connected open volume, whether the internal doors stay open or shut, how often the house is actually occupied, and what you want to spend. You will get one straight answer rather than a catalogue - including the times the honest answer is a reed diffuser from ₹749 or a duo set from ₹1,498 rather than a machine. What is not on this page, because SOSA does not publish it: what a second unit adds, any warranty period, any installation service, any running or electricity cost, and any app or Bluetooth compatibility detail. One thing to check before you buy: the Vaayu page states the life of a 400ml fill two different ways - about 75 days in one place and 90 or more in another - and it depends on intensity and scheduled hours in any case, so ask rather than plan around a number. Every Vaayu ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances, 100 ml each; SOSA waterless nebuliser refills are ₹1,049 for 100 gm and ₹1,849 for 300 gm. Bulk orders are welcome and custom label or logo on product is available; quantities and anything commercial are settled on WhatsApp rather than priced on a page. Bespoke composition, a fragrance composed for you by Sonal, is a real SOSA service and is also discussed there. 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 messages I find hardest to answer are the ones that begin with an apology. They have just finished building the house. I don't want to sound cheap, but I also can't buy them anything that matters at that scale. And underneath it is a real anxiety: that after years of drawings and delays and site visits, whatever you turn up with will look like a token.
What I would say is that the anxiety is aimed at the wrong thing. You are not competing with the house. Nobody is. The people who built it spent two years choosing between four shades of the same stone, and there is no object you can hand over that will register on that scale. Trying is how people end up buying a vase that gets moved to a spare room.
The reason I keep coming back to scent for these particular houses is unromantic. It is the last layer, and it is the only one nobody planned. An architect resolves the volume, a designer resolves the surfaces, a lighting consultant resolves the evening, and then everybody stops - because scent is not on anybody's drawing. So it is one of the few things left that adds to a finished house without arguing with a single decision already made in it.
The part I would be careful about is the number. Vaayu publishes a coverage figure, which almost nothing in home fragrance does, and I would rather you read it strictly than generously. About 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft, of air that is actually connected. A ground floor that opens living into dining into a stairwell is that. A bungalow with six closed doors is not that, whatever its total square footage says on paper, and a page that blurs the two is doing you no favours.
Frequently asked questions
Does a house that was built rather than bought need a different kind of gift?
It narrows the field rather than raising the budget. Every visible category in a built house was specified by somebody - volumes, finishes, joinery, lighting, furniture, art. The layer with no specialist and no drawing is scent, which is why it is the one thing that can be added without revising anybody's decision.
Is a commemorative object a bad idea?
It is not bad, it is difficult. A keepsake with a date on it has to be displayed to do its job, and display space is the most contested resource in a house that was resolved slowly over years. It works where you know the scheme well enough to be certain it belongs. Where you do not, something that is not an object in the room is the safer answer.
How much space does SOSA Vaayu cover?
Up to 1000 cubic metres, stated on the product page as approximately 2,000 to 3,000 square feet. A coverage rating assumes one connected body of air, so it describes an open main floor or a double-height hall rather than a total built-up area. No guidance is published on what a second unit adds, so a larger connected volume is a WhatsApp conversation at +91 96192 18531.
Would a larger machine be a more generous gift for a large house?
No. SOSA Meenar at Rs 38,500 is published for 12,000 to 18,000 square feet and is built for hotels, showrooms and corporate floors. In a house it is the wrong instrument rather than the more ambitious one, and it will read that way to anybody who has spent years reading specifications.
What is not published about the machine?
Several things, and they are worth knowing before buying. There is no warranty period, no installation service, no running cost figure, no app name or phone compatibility detail and no connection range. The life of one 400 ml fill is stated two different ways on the page - about 75 days in the specification data and 90 or more days in the body copy. Ask on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531.

Reed diffusers from ₹749 or a duo set from ₹1,498 when the plan resolved into closed rooms. Describe the floor to SOSA on WhatsApp and ask what a fill lasts.
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.

Its country of origin is India. Every Vaayu ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances of 100 ml each, in one of three published four-scent sets, all at the same price. SOSA Meenar ₹38,500 is published for 12,000 to 18,000 sq ft. The ultrasonic machines Boond ₹899, Sukoon ₹1,899 and Megh ₹5,999 are water-based and suit a single room or small area.

About the coverage figure: a rating assumes one connected body of air. The published figure describes an open-plan volume such as a living-dining floor, a duplex's main level or a double-height hall, and does not describe a property whose rooms are separated by closed doors, whatever its total floor area. No guidance is published on what a second unit adds. About tank life: the Vaayu product page states the life of one 400 ml fill in two different ways - approximately 75 days in its specification and FAQ data, and 90 or more days in its body copy - and in either case it depends on the intensity setting and the scheduled hours, so no single figure is stated on this page. What is not published, and is therefore not stated here: any warranty period, service interval or filter; any installation service; any app name, phone compatibility or Bluetooth range; any running or electricity cost; and any multi-unit coverage. Limits of this guide: fragrance adds a scent to a space. It does not remove, neutralise, mask or purify odour, it does not clean the air, and no SOSA product makes any health, antibacterial or air-purifying claim; a dry residue-free mist is a statement about residue and not about air quality. No claim is made anywhere on this page about mood, stress, calm, sleep or wellbeing, nor about how any recipient or guest will feel, nor about what a gift does for any business result. No page here characterises any recipient's wealth or describes people who own particular kinds of property; where a property value appears it is the figure the reader themselves supplied as context. SOSA blends described as hotel-inspired are SOSA's own interpretations and SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel brand. 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.
