How to Choose a Scenting System for Your Business
SOSA · for business
Choose business scenting zone by zone
A reception, a row of cabins and a meeting room are different spaces with different air. The right setup follows the layout, not the type of business.

The short answer
Map the customer-facing zones first. A reception or lounge that fits within 1000 m³ may suit Vaayu. Each closed cabin, consulting room or meeting room usually suits Pawan. Run them only during opening hours, keep settings low, and send us a floor plan if you want a recommendation.
Step by step
Six steps to the right setup
- Who decides. The owner, facilities team, architect or office manager. Agree who chooses the scent and who looks after refills.
- Map the zones. Reception, waiting area, cabins, meeting rooms and washrooms. Note which share air and which have closed doors.
- Size each zone. Floor area, ceiling height and any HVAC returns. Vaayu can sit on a shelf, mount on a wall or fit on an HVAC return.
- Choose the scent with people in mind. Staff spend all day in the space. Choose something light, and ask a few of them before you commit.
- Set opening-hours routines. Vaayu runs by day, run window and intensity, with a key-lock. Pawan runs on a timer in the SOSA app.
- Plan refills. Business use is heavier than home use. Track how fast oil goes in your own space and keep one refill in stock.
When not to scent
Some spaces should stay fragrance-free
Schools, daycares and nap rooms, and spaces shared with people who are sensitive to fragrance, should put ventilation and cleaning first. Classrooms and children’s rooms should stay unscented, and any administration area should follow the institution’s own fragrance policy.
In healthcare and food settings, follow your own policy and make no medical, hygiene or food-quality claims about fragrance.

Pawan or Vaayu?
Choose by the space, not the label
A flat size or a room name is only a starting point. Layout, ceiling height, airflow and closed doors decide what a space really needs.
Pawan: one room
One room of up to about 500 sq ft: a bedroom, study, cabin or small living room. It plugs into the wall, runs silently and is set from the SOSA app.
Vaayu: a connected space
One open, connected space of up to 1000 m³, roughly 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft depending on ceiling height. It schedules by day, run window and intensity.
Closed doors count
A room you keep closed is its own space. One Vaayu will not reach behind a shut bedroom door, so a closed room usually needs its own Pawan.

Questions
Before you choose
What should I send you for a recommendation?
A floor plan or rough sketch, the size of each room or zone, ceiling height, which doors stay closed, where the sockets are, the hours the space is used and the scents you like. Photos help too.
Can we start with one zone first?
Yes. Starting with the most important customer-facing zone, then adding machines once you have seen how the space behaves, is a sensible way to begin.
Is fragrance right for every business?
No. Schools, daycares and some healthcare settings may have fragrance policies or sensitive users. In those spaces, ventilation and cleaning come first, and children’s rooms should stay unscented.
Do you handle several branches?
Yes. Send us each branch’s layout and we will suggest machines, quantities and one compatible refill plan. We also handle volume enquiries.
Not sure which one?
