How Should I Fragrance a Villa or Farmhouse?

Fragrance for a villa or farmhouse
A villa or farmhouse is often several floors, many rooms and long gaps between visits. Plan the house zone by zone, and plan who will run it.

The short answer
Deal with stale air and damp first. Then plan each floor and room as its own zone: Vaayu for large connected living areas, Pawan for closed bedrooms. Leave outdoor areas unscented. If a caretaker opens the house, show them how to start each machine a few hours before you arrive.
Plan it
Six steps for a villa
- Floors, rooms and outdoors. List each indoor zone. Leave verandas, lawns and terraces out.
- Which rooms are used. Note the rooms you use on every visit, and those that stay shut.
- Stale air and damp first. Air the house, fix damp and change stored linen before adding scent.
- A machine for each zone. Vaayu for open living floors, Pawan for closed bedrooms.
- Caretaker routine. Leave simple written steps: open windows, then start the machines on low.
- Refills by use. Plan refills around how often you actually visit, not a fixed estimate.
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
Can a caretaker run it?
Yes. Vaayu can be set by its buttons as well as the app, and a key-lock keeps the settings fixed.
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.
Do they use water?
No. Both are waterless: they turn fragrance oil into a fine, dry mist, so there is no damp and no residue on furniture.
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.
