Founder Diaries · Attars, Fragrance Discovery & Buying for Known Taste
What is different between them, then? Everything above the sandalwood. Ameeri is Taif rose and Persian saffron with a measured oudh and amber. Nawaab is white royal oud with aged tobacco leaf, agarwood, leather and vetiver, published as the deepest of the four. Mastani is night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose with oudh, vanilla and tonka. Three published lists that share a base and agree on almost nothing else.
Is any of the three a lighter version of traditional woody? No. Nothing in the box is lighter than a deep woody fragrance - the variety runs sideways and upward. SOSA publishes Adaa as the lightest of the four, with bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood; it is sold on its own from ₹379 and it is not in the box.

There is a version of this question that assumes variety and familiarity pull against each other. In this range they do not, because the four attars share a floor. Sandalwood is published in the note list of every bottle in the box, and all four attars are carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba - so the material a traditional woody wearer would name first is underneath all of them. What differs is entirely what stands on top. That is the good news. The part that needs saying just as plainly is the direction of the variety: it runs sideways and upward, never downward, because the box holds the deepest attar in the range and nothing lighter than what he already owns.
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
What do the three bottles have in common? Sandalwood, published in all three. Ameeri publishes Indian sandalwood, Mastani and Nawaab publish Mysore sandalwood, and all four SOSA attars are carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba. So the familiar material is underneath every bottle in the trio, which is ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml.What is different between them, then? Everything above the sandalwood. Ameeri is Taif rose and Persian saffron with a measured oudh and amber. Nawaab is white royal oud with aged tobacco leaf, agarwood, leather and vetiver, published as the deepest of the four.

The short answer
Short answer: Sandalwood is published in all three bottles of the SOSA Attar Trio and all four attars are carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, so the familiar material sits under every one. The trio is Rs 1,055 in 3 x 3ml, Rs 1,859 in 3 x 6ml and Rs 3,189 in 3 x 12ml. The variety runs sideways and upward and never downward, because Nawaab is published as the deepest of the four.
The pick: The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when sandalwood underneath is the familiarity that matters, and a single 12ml of Nawaab at ₹1,199 when the shortest distance from traditional woody is the point.
Why: A shared sandalwood base is what makes three unfamiliar compositions recognisable rather than alien, and published note lists let you check that claim yourself instead of taking anybody's word for it.
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 father prefers traditional woody fragrances and rarely experiments with modern perfume styles - could a discovery set introduce variety while staying within territory he recognises?
Yes on the territory, with one caveat about the direction that matters more than it sounds. The recognisable material is sandalwood, and it is published in every bottle of the set: Ameeri lists Indian sandalwood, Mastani and Nawaab list Mysore sandalwood, and all four SOSA attars are carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba. So the floor under all three is ground he would name without hesitating. What changes is the storey above it. Ameeri puts Taif rose and Persian saffron with a measured oudh and amber on that floor; Nawaab puts white royal oud, aged tobacco leaf, agarwood, leather and vetiver on it; Mastani puts night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose on it, with oudh, vanilla and tonka. The SOSA Attar Trio is ₹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 - savings of ₹118, ₹204 and ₹354. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with a 3ml at roughly 60 wears at one dab, which is the number that makes this a trial rather than a tasting. The caveat. The set is one fixed combination, all three bottles in the one size you choose, and Adaa is not in it. SOSA publishes Nawaab as the deepest of the four, so the variety here runs sideways and upward - there is no gentler bottle in the box, and the trio page itself says it is an evening set rather than a daytime one. And what he will make of any of the three is not something SOSA publishes, which is the reason to give three rather than pick one. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
Sandalwood is under all three. What stands on it is unfamiliar, and none of it is gentler than what he owns.
The quick version: the 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when the sandalwood underneath is what makes three unfamiliar compositions approachable, 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 when you expect all three to be worn, a single 12ml of Nawaab at ₹1,199 for the shortest step from traditional woody ground, and Adaa from ₹379 if what you actually want is lighter.

Three things that decide whether this is familiar ground or a leap
Somebody who rarely experiments is not usually against new things; he has simply never had a reason to run the comparison. The three factors below are what decide whether this particular set is a short step or a long one, and the published note lists settle most of it without anybody having to guess.
01
The shared floor
Sandalwood is published in all three, and carries all four
This is the fact that makes the whole idea work, and it is checkable rather than atmospheric. Ameeri publishes Indian sandalwood. Mastani and Nawaab publish Mysore sandalwood. Separately from the note lists, the carrier for all four SOSA attars is Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, so sandalwood is doing work in every bottle whether or not it is the headline. For a wearer whose whole history is woody, that is the difference between three strange fragrances and three unfamiliar compositions standing on a material he could identify with his eyes shut. It also explains why the box holds together as a set rather than as three unrelated purchases.
Tip: The recognisable part is underneath. The unfamiliar part is what stands on it.
02
What the box is, exactly
One fixed combination, three sizes, and a fourth attar outside it
The SOSA Attar Trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - the same three every time. All three bottles come in the single size you select: ₹1,055 for three 3ml, ₹1,859 for three 6ml, ₹3,189 for three 12ml, against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 for the same bottles bought one at a time. That is ₹118, ₹204 and ₹354 of difference, ten per cent at every tier. It is not assembled around a person and it cannot be recomposed; Adaa, the fourth attar, is sold separately from ₹379. SOSA's page states outright that a different three, or three different sizes, means buying the bottles individually at full price. The three bottles come in a single gift-ready box, which is the only presentation published.
03
The direction of the variety
Sideways and upward - and the range holds nothing gentler in this box
It would be easy to sell this set as a gentle widening of a woody habit, and it is not one. SOSA publishes Nawaab as the deepest of the four attars, so one bottle of the three goes further in than most traditional woody fragrances do. The trio page also lists its own disqualifiers: it is an evening set of depth, warmth and floral, and somebody who wants a light or daytime fragrance is pointed at Adaa instead, which is sold on its own from ₹379. So if the hope is a softer, easier version of what he wears, this box is the wrong purchase and no amount of shared sandalwood changes that. If the hope is genuine variety on familiar ground, it is exactly the right one. A 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab, and no wear figure is published for the larger sizes.
Tip: Familiar underneath does not mean easier. One of the three is the deepest attar in the range.
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
Work through it in this order, and the size question settles itself
- Name the familiar material first. Here it is sandalwood, published in all three.
- Read what stands on it: rose and saffron, oud and tobacco leaf, night jasmine.
- Check the direction. Nawaab is the deepest of the four; nothing here is gentler.
- Then pick the size. Rs 1,055 in 3 x 3ml is the trial, Rs 3,189 is the wardrobe.
The SOSA principle
Three unfamiliar compositions standing on one familiar material is a shorter step than three unfamiliar fragrances.
And it is checkable: the sandalwood is in the published note lists, not in anybody's description.
The shared floor, and the three different things standing on it
Read the three lists as one floor and three buildings. Ameeri: Taif rose and Persian saffron over Indian sandalwood, with a soft oudh, amber and white musk - the warm, festive end of the set. Nawaab: white royal oud over Mysore sandalwood with aged tobacco leaf, and agarwood, leather, vetiver and amber behind - dry, and published as the deepest of the four. Mastani: night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood and oudh, with vanilla and tonka in the base - floral, but floral with a woody foundation rather than on air. The fourth attar sits outside the set: Adaa publishes vetiver and cedarwood alongside bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia and white musk - woody materials at the lightest weight in the range, and no oud at all.
The SOSA gift edit
The four ways to spend this budget, and the honest weakness of each
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| The SOSA Attar Trio, 3 x 3ml at ₹1,055 | Three compositions on a shared sandalwood base, roughly 60 wears in each. The right size when the job is comparison. Its weakness is that 3ml can look slight as an object, and the three are fixed rather than selected. |
| The SOSA Attar Trio, 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 | The same three in the largest published size, in one gift-ready box. The right call only when you expect all three to be worn rather than sorted through, because three 12ml bottles of two directions he never returns to is a lot of unused oil. |
| A single 12ml of Nawaab at ₹1,199 | The shortest distance from traditional woody ground: white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood, aged tobacco leaf. Depth in one bottle, published as the deepest of the four. It gives no comparison at all, which was the point of the question. |
| Adaa, bought separately, from ₹379 | Outside the box entirely, and the only route to something lighter: vetiver and cedarwood with bergamot, green cardamom, neroli and jasmine sambac. It is woody, but it is the lightest of the four, so it is the answer to a daytime question rather than this one. |
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.

The format is worth a paragraph because it is different from what a lifelong wearer of alcohol fragrance is used to. These are concentrated oil attars with a built-in dab applicator: dab on pulse points and do not rub, because rubbing works against the way the drydown develops after the first thirty minutes. They are alcohol-free and DPG-free, IFRA-compliant, skin-safe, carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, heat-stable to 45 degrees C, and hand-blended in small batches in Pune by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles trained. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin rather than straight onto a shirt or a scarf - a genuinely useful thing to mention to somebody trying the format for the first time.

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.
Familiar ground is not the same as an easy step. The floor is sandalwood; one of the three buildings on it is the tallest in the range.
— 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
What do all three bottles in the SOSA Attar Trio have in common?
Sandalwood. Ameeri publishes Indian sandalwood, Mastani and Nawaab publish Mysore sandalwood, and separately from the note lists all four SOSA attars are carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba. What differs between the three is everything above that base - rose and saffron in one, white royal oud and aged tobacco leaf in another, night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose in the third.
Is there a gentler or more familiar version of what he already wears in the box?
No. SOSA publishes Nawaab as the deepest of the four attars, and the trio page describes the set as an evening one of depth, warmth and floral. The variety in this box runs sideways and upward rather than downward. The lightest attar in the range is Adaa, sold on its own at Rs 379 in 3ml, Rs 669 in 6ml and Rs 1,149 in 12ml, and it is not part of the set.
Is Adaa a woody attar?
Its published note list includes vetiver and cedarwood alongside bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia and white musk, and it publishes no oud at all. So there are woody materials in it, but SOSA publishes it as the lightest of the four and as the daytime attar, which is a different proposition from a traditional deep woody fragrance. It is bought separately from Rs 379.
Can the three bottles come in different sizes?
No. The trio comes with all three bottles in the single size you select - 3 x 3ml at Rs 1,055, 3 x 6ml at Rs 1,859 or 3 x 12ml at Rs 3,189. SOSA's own page says that if you want mixed sizes, you buy the three attars individually, which means losing the set price and paying Rs 1,173, Rs 2,063 or Rs 3,543 instead.
He has only ever worn alcohol fragrance. Does an oil attar work differently?
The format differs in handling rather than in anything SOSA claims about performance. These are concentrated oils with a built-in dab applicator: dab on pulse points and do not rub. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown developing after the first thirty minutes. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin rather than onto fabric.
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.
