How to Choose a Fragrance System for Your Home
SOSA · choosing for your home
Choose a fragrance system room by room
A home is not one space. It is a set of rooms and connected areas, each with its own doors, airflow and routine. Plan scent the same way.
Pawan vs VaayuGet help choosing
The short answer
Map your home into zones first. Each open, connected area is one zone and may suit Vaayu if it fits within 1000 m³. Each room you keep closed is its own zone and usually suits Pawan. The number of bedrooms alone does not tell you how many machines you need.
Step by step
Six steps to the right setup
- Map the spaces. Sketch the home. Mark which areas flow into each other, such as living, dining and corridor, and which rooms have doors you keep closed.
- Measure. Note the floor area and ceiling height of each zone, and where the sockets are. A double-height living room holds far more air than its floor area suggests.
- Room or larger area. A closed room of up to about 500 sq ft suits Pawan. An open connected area within 1000 m³ suits Vaayu. Very large or complex homes need a plan.
- Choose a scent direction. Woods and vetiver, or a hotel-inspired style. Pawan has two pairs; Vaayu has four sets of four oils.
- Plan placement and schedules. Set each machine for the hours the space is actually used, and keep it away from where air blows straight at people.
- Plan refills. Both run only on SOSA waterless oils. See our refill planning guide.

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
Should I choose Pawan or Vaayu?
Pawan suits one room of up to about 500 sq ft. Vaayu suits one connected space of up to 1000 m³, roughly 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft depending on ceiling height. A room kept behind a closed door usually needs its own Pawan.
Should every room have the same scent?
It does not have to. One scent across connected spaces feels calm and consistent. A closed bedroom can have its own scent if the person using it prefers something different.
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.
Which oils can I use?
Only SOSA waterless oils. Ultrasonic diffuser oils, reed diffuser oils and thick essential oils can clog the nozzle.
