Why does compactness matter when they already have everything? Because the household is itself temporarily installed. The cupboards are holding a short stay's worth of things plus whatever came with them, so volume is the scarce resource rather than money. A large gift is not more generous in that flat, it is simply larger, and larger is the thing there is least room for.
What is published about the 50ml, for judging proportion? Exactly this: ₹749 to ₹849, 6 to 8 weeks of life, 6 fibre reeds, a refillable glass bottle, a coconut-derived CCT carrier that is phthalate-free, paraben-free and IFRA-compliant, made in India by an ISIPCA Versailles-trained perfumer. Those are the facts available for judging proportion; what anybody makes of being given one is not something SOSA can tell you.

The detail everybody skips is that the hosts are temporarily installed as well. They are hosting you, which makes them look settled, but the household is running on a few weeks of its own - part of the cupboard space is holding things that came with them, part is holding things that will go back, and the flat is operating at a volume that was set for a short stay. So the binding constraint is not budget and not taste. It is volume, and it points at the smallest object that is still a real gift.
The smallest whole object in the reed range. A 50ml SOSA reed diffuser, ₹749 to ₹849 - 6 fibre reeds in a refillable glass bottle, published at 6 to 8 weeks, with no flame, no socket and nothing to switch on. It takes one small working surface while it lasts, and then there is nothing left to store or carry.

What compact gift works for a family hosting during a short visit to India? The smallest thing that is still a proper object. A 50ml SOSA reed diffuser is ₹749 to ₹849, published at 6 to 8 weeks, in a refillable glass bottle with 6 fibre reeds, with no flame, no socket and nothing to switch on. It takes one small flat surface and then it is finished.Why does compactness matter when they already have everything? Because the household is itself temporarily installed.

The short answer
Short answer: Choose for volume rather than for budget, because the hosts are temporarily installed themselves. A 50ml SOSA reed diffuser is Rs 749 to Rs 849, published at 6 to 8 weeks, with 6 fibre reeds in a refillable glass bottle, no flame, no socket and nothing to operate. It takes one small surface and then it is finished, so it never has to be stored or carried.
The pick: A 50ml reed diffuser, ₹749 to ₹849 - the smallest item in the reed range that is still a whole object, 6 to 8 weeks of published life, and nothing to store afterwards.
Why: The scarce resource in a temporarily run household is volume rather than money, and a consumable is the one category that takes space only while it is being used.
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
An NRI family is hosting us during a short visit to Hyderabad and already has everything they need. What compact gift is there that does not become a storage problem?
Choose on volume, not on price, and the choice gets much easier. The usual reading of this situation is that the household wants for nothing, so the gift has to be clever. The more useful reading is that the hosts are only installed for a few weeks themselves. The flat is running at the volume of a short stay: cupboards are holding what came with them and what will go back, surfaces are doing more than one job, and there is a date after which the household compresses again. In that arithmetic a large gift is not a more generous gift, it is a larger one, and larger is the single thing there is least room for. So the brief becomes narrow and concrete: the smallest thing that is still a whole object, that needs no permanent place, and that will be gone before the compression. A 50ml SOSA reed diffuser is ₹749 for Morning Freshness, ₹799 for Garden Bloom and Evening Calm, and ₹849 for Mountain Breeze and Fresh Brew, published to last 6 to 8 weeks, with 6 fibre reeds in a refillable glass bottle on a coconut-derived CCT carrier that is phthalate-free, paraben-free and IFRA-compliant, made in India by a perfumer trained at ISIPCA in Versailles. There is no flame, no socket, no switch and nothing to demonstrate. On getting it there: SOSA is in Pune and sends across India, so this is an online order with delivery to Hyderabad, with no counter, no warehouse, no branch and no stockist anywhere outside Pune and no delivery timeframe and no delivery charge stated here. And the part this page will not do: describe the object, yes - but what anybody makes of being given one is not something SOSA can tell you, and no page should pretend it can. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
They are not settled either. The flat is running at short-stay volume, which makes space the scarce thing and a small complete object the sensible answer.
The default on this page: a 50ml reed diffuser, ₹749 to ₹849 - the smallest whole object in the reed range, published at 6 to 8 weeks, nothing to plug in.

The hosts are temporarily installed too, and that sets the size
Three things, in this sequence. The first one changes what the word compact is being asked to do.
1
First
The hosts are temporarily installed, and that is the constraint
Hosting makes a household look permanent for an evening. It is worth holding on to the fact that this one is not.
A family in India for a short visit is running a compressed version of a home. Storage is doing double duty - holding what came with them and what goes back. Surfaces are doing double duty too, because a flat set up for a few weeks does not have a decorative layer, it has a working one. And there is a date in the calendar after which everything in that flat has to be either used, stored or moved.
Which is why compact is not a euphemism for cheap here. It is a specification. The gift has to be small enough to sit on a working surface without displacing anything, and finite enough that it will not be an item on a list when the household compresses again. Volume is the scarce resource, not money, and reading it as money is what produces the large box that then has to be put somewhere.

Second
What is actually published about the 50ml
Instead of guessing at proportion, here is the whole published record for the smallest bottle in the reed range.
Price: ₹749 for Morning Freshness, ₹799 for Garden Bloom and Evening Calm, ₹849 for Mountain Breeze and Fresh Brew. Life: 6 to 8 weeks. Format: 6 fibre reeds in a refillable glass bottle. Carrier: coconut-derived CCT, phthalate-free, paraben-free and IFRA-compliant, made in India, formulated by a perfumer trained at ISIPCA in Versailles. The pages suggest flipping the reeds roughly once a week to refresh projection and state that interval slightly differently from page to page, so no single number is offered here as a rule.
That is the complete list of what can be weighed. SOSA publishes no coverage or room-size figure, and it publishes nothing whatsoever about how a gift lands with anybody. Those two absences are worth stating rather than papering over, because in a bank written for somebody worried about getting it wrong, a page that refuses to promise a reaction is the only kind worth reading.

Third
Getting it to Hyderabad, and the things SOSA does not do
SOSA is in Pune and sends across India, so this is an online order with delivery to Hyderabad. Precisely what that does not mean: there is no SOSA shop, no counter, no warehouse, no showroom, no branch and no stockist anywhere outside Pune, nothing is collected in person locally, and no delivery timeframe, no same-day or next-day claim and no delivery charge appears on this page.
Presentation, which matters more than usual on a compact gift. The only branding SOSA offers is a custom label or logo on product. There is no custom box, no printed sleeve and no insert card. There is no carton, no ribbon and no message card. A small object handed over bare is a choice you may want to do something about yourself before the evening.
And if one bottle is too little for the length of the hospitality, the step up is published rather than improvised: the 130ml at ₹1,249 to ₹1,349 at 14 to 18 weeks, or a duo set at ₹1,498, ₹1,548 or ₹1,598 in 50ml x 2 - three pairings, none composed to order, both bottles the same size. Ask on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531.

Tip: Order online from Pune with delivery to Hyderabad, and arrange any wrapping yourself.
The property that makes this work as a first-visit gift
A consumable is not an object somebody has to keep
The real fear behind a first-visit gift is not that it will be disliked. It is that it will have to be kept - displayed, dusted, and eventually explained if it disappears. A decorative object carries all of that into a home you have never seen. A reed diffuser does not, because it ends by itself. The published life makes that concrete: 6 to 8 weeks for the 50ml at ₹749 to ₹849, and 14 to 18 weeks for the 130ml at ₹1,249 to ₹1,349. It also asks nothing of anybody on the day - no flame, no socket, no switch, nothing to demonstrate. And if they do like it, the glass bottle is refillable, with refills at ₹2,399 for 300ml and ₹3,499 for 500ml in all five scents.

Work it out in this order
Choosing for volume in under ten minutes
- Remember the hosts are installed for weeks too. Space is the scarce thing.
- Rule out anything bulky, anything to store and anything to carry back.
- Take the smallest whole object: a 50ml at Rs 749 to Rs 849, 6 to 8 weeks.
- Step up only for length of hospitality, not to look like you spent more.
The SOSA principle
A household that already has everything is not a puzzle about taste. It is usually a household with no spare volume, and volume is a constraint you can measure without knowing a single thing about the people in it.
That is why the smallest complete object is often the correct answer here, and why stepping up should follow the hospitality rather than the worry.
The smallest real object in the range, and what it costs
Five scents, and on a compact gift the choice is the only place personality enters, so choose it deliberately. Morning Freshness at ₹749 is Malabar lemon and mint, the least declarative. Garden Bloom at ₹799 is British rose and night-blooming jasmine. Evening Calm at ₹799 is lavender and chamomile. Mountain Breeze at ₹849 is Himalayan pine, sage and cedar. Fresh Brew at ₹849 is Coorg coffee and Kerala vanilla, the strongest opinion in the range and therefore the largest guess in a home you do not know well. All five are phthalate-free, paraben-free and IFRA-compliant, made in India on a coconut-derived CCT carrier by an ISIPCA Versailles-trained perfumer.
The SOSA gift edit
Four compact gifts, and what each one costs in space
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| A 50ml reed diffuser · ₹749 to ₹849 | Small, complete, no flame, no socket, nothing to operate, and finished in 6 to 8 weeks so it is never an item when the household compresses again. It fails if you wanted the gift to be the event of the evening - a small bottle is deliberately quiet. |
| A large assembled gift box · any price | Good at volume and at variety, which is the whole appeal. It fails on the one constraint that binds here: it is bulk, in a flat where bulk is already being managed, and the box itself has to go somewhere afterwards. |
| Dry fruit or a sweet box · any price | Shareable, and it does get consumed, which is genuinely the right property. It fails on the household's own uncertainty: you do not know what is already in that kitchen for a short stay, and food is the one category that cannot avoid assuming. |
| A small decorative object · any price | Compact in the literal sense, which is why it gets picked. It fails on permanence rather than size: it is small and it is forever, so it has to be kept, packed or placed, and none of those is free in a household running on weeks. |
When one bottle is not quite the right size of gesture
The three duo sets - and they are the only three
Several of these situations want something a little larger without becoming complicated: a first formal visit, a weekend stay, a household that has just hosted you for a week. The published answer is a duo set - two bottles in one box. Day & Night pairs Morning Freshness with Evening Calm at ₹1,498; Fresh & Grounded pairs Morning Freshness with Mountain Breeze at ₹1,548; Warmth & Bloom pairs Fresh Brew with Garden Bloom at ₹1,598. In 130ml x 2 they are ₹2,498, ₹2,548 and ₹2,598. Those three pairings are the entire set range, none is composed to order, and both bottles in a set are the same size. On presentation, be straight with yourself before you order: custom label or logo on product is the only branding SOSA offers - there is no custom box, no printed sleeve and no insert card.
See the duo sets from ₹1,498 →
One comparison worth making precisely, because it is the genuine rival for a compact gift. SOSA attars from ₹379 in 3ml are smaller still and they are worn on the body - which makes them a personal gift to one individual rather than a gift to the household that is hosting you. That is the whole difference, and it decides the question rather than the price does: if you are thanking a family for a week of hospitality, the object addressed to the address is the one that matches. Reed refills at ₹2,399 for 300ml and ₹3,499 for 500ml exist for all five scents and are worth knowing about, though a refill is a re-order for somebody who already has a bottle rather than a first gift. And Sukoon at ₹1,899 is a real product in the range, so nothing here claims the band above the duo sets is empty - it simply needs a socket, water and refilling, which is a different ask in a temporarily run flat.
₹749 to ₹849 across five scents, published to last 6 to 8 weeks. Large enough to be a proper object, small enough that the household never has to find permanent space for it.
from ₹749
₹1,249 to ₹1,349, published to last 14 to 18 weeks. The same object with more of it - the honest way to make the gesture larger without making it more complicated.
from ₹1,249
Two bottles in one box, ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 in 50ml and ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 in 130ml. Three published pairings, and those three are the whole range - none is composed to order.
from ₹1,498
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.
In a household running on a few weeks, generosity is not measured in volume. Volume is the one thing that has to go somewhere afterwards.
— 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 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 reed diffuser - 50ml | The first-visit size | ₹749 to ₹849 across five scents. Published to last 6 to 8 weeks, with 6 fibre reeds and a refillable glass bottle. No flame, no socket, nothing to switch on | from ₹749 |
| SOSA reed diffuser - 130ml | The larger bottle | ₹1,249 to ₹1,349, the same five scents. Published to last 14 to 18 weeks - the honest choice when the gesture needs weight rather than a second bottle | from ₹1,249 |
| SOSA reed diffuser duo sets | Two bottles, one box | Day & Night ₹1,498, Fresh & Grounded ₹1,548, Warmth & Bloom ₹1,598 in 50ml x 2; ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 in 130ml x 2. These three pairings are the whole set range | from ₹1,498 |
| SOSA reed diffuser refills | If they like it, it continues | ₹2,399 for 300ml and ₹3,499 for 500ml, published for all five scents. The bottle is refillable glass, so the gift does not have to be a one-off | from ₹2,399 |
| SOSA attars | Worn, not placed | From ₹379 in 3ml. An attar is a personal gift and a reed diffuser is a household one - which is the distinction most first-visit questions are really about | from ₹379 |
| SOSA candles | They need a flame | From ₹399. Warm and traditional, but somebody has to light them and stay with them, which is a real consideration in a home you do not know | from ₹399 |
| SOSA ultrasonic machines | Water-based, plugged in | Boond ₹899, Sukoon ₹1,899, Megh ₹5,999 - they need a socket, water and regular refilling. That is a commitment to hand somebody on a first visit | from ₹899 |
A reed diffuser is a consumable, which is the whole argument for it as a first-visit gift. It is not a permanent object competing for a shelf in somebody else's home, and it needs no flame, no socket, no switch and no explanation at a front door. Published life is 6 to 8 weeks for the 50ml and 14 to 18 weeks for the 130ml, with 6 fibre reeds per bottle, a refillable glass bottle, and a CCT coconut-derived carrier that is phthalate-free, paraben-free and IFRA-compliant, made in India. Flip the reeds roughly once a week to refresh projection - the product pages state the interval slightly differently, between every three and every seven days. Fragrance adds a scent to a room; it does not remove, neutralise, mask or purify an odour and it does not clean the air. Prices above are published retail prices; bulk orders are welcome and custom label or logo on product is available, with quantities settled on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531. SOSA is an Indian fragrance house based in Pune, sending orders across India. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
The honest spec sheet
What the SOSA reed 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 five scents and their prices - Morning Freshness, Malabar lemon and mint, ₹749 and ₹1,249; Garden Bloom, British rose and night-blooming jasmine, ₹799 and ₹1,299; Evening Calm, lavender and chamomile, ₹799 and ₹1,299; Mountain Breeze, Himalayan pine, sage and cedar, ₹849 and ₹1,349; Fresh Brew, Coorg coffee and Kerala vanilla, ₹849 and ₹1,349.
- Published life - 6 to 8 weeks for the 50ml and 14 to 18 weeks for the 130ml, stated on all five pages. This is newer and more specific than the flat figure earlier SOSA writing used.
- The format - 6 fibre reeds per bottle rather than rattan, a refillable glass bottle, and a CCT carrier (caprylic/capric triglyceride, coconut-derived) that is phthalate-free, paraben-free and IFRA-compliant. Made in India, formulated by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles trained. No flame, no socket, no switch.
- Flip the reeds roughly once a week to refresh projection. The pages state it slightly differently - once a week on three of them, every five to seven days on one, every three to five on another - so treat it as about weekly rather than as a rule.
- Duo sets and refills - three published pairings at ₹1,498, ₹1,548 and ₹1,598 in 50ml x 2 and ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 in 130ml x 2, and refills at ₹2,399 for 300ml and ₹3,499 for 500ml in all five scents. Those three pairings are the entire set range and none is composed to order.
- Not published, and therefore never stated here: any coverage or room-size figure for a reed diffuser; how a scent behaves in a particular home; any bulk rate, minimum quantity, price break or lead time; any presentation packaging beyond a custom label or logo on product; and anything whatsoever about how a gift is received. Those go to WhatsApp +91 96192 18531.
Not sure how big the gesture should be? Tell SOSA on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 four things: whose home you are going to and how well you know them, whether you are staying or visiting for an evening, roughly what you want to spend, and whether anybody in the household has said anything about scent. You will get one straight answer rather than a catalogue - including the times the honest answer is the 50ml at ₹749 rather than anything larger. What is not on this page, because SOSA does not publish it: any coverage or room-size figure for a reed diffuser, any bulk rate, minimum quantity or lead time, and anything at all about how a gift is received. What is: 6 to 8 weeks for the 50ml, 14 to 18 weeks for the 130ml, 6 fibre reeds, a refillable glass bottle, and refills at ₹2,399 for 300ml and ₹3,499 for 500ml in all five scents. On presentation, be warned: custom label or logo on product is the one branding option - there is no custom box, no printed sleeve and no insert card, and there is no carton, no ribbon and no message card, so anything you want wrapped is yours to arrange. 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
A particular kind of message arrives on our WhatsApp, usually in the evening, usually slightly rushed. I am going to his parents' place on Sunday. I have never met them. I cannot go empty-handed and I have no idea what they like. It is one of the few gifting questions where the person is not really shopping. They are trying not to get something wrong in front of people whose opinion they have decided matters.
So the useful thing is not a recommendation, it is a subtraction. Most of what goes wrong with a first-visit gift is permanence. A decorative object has to be kept, displayed, and eventually explained if it is not. Food runs into what people eat. Anything personal runs into taste you have not earned the right to guess at yet. What is left is the category that ends by itself, and that is genuinely why a reed diffuser keeps coming up in those messages.
The part I would want you to hold on to is the least romantic part. The 50ml is published to last six to eight weeks, and the 130ml fourteen to eighteen. It has no flame, no plug and no switch, so nobody has to be shown how it works while their family stands in a doorway. It is a glass bottle and six fibre reeds, and it does the whole job by standing on a surface.
And the part I will not pretend about: I cannot tell you how anybody will take it. Nobody selling you a gift can, and the ones who promise it are selling you reassurance rather than a product. What I can tell you is what the object is, how long it lasts and what it asks of the person receiving it - which is very little. What that is worth on a Sunday afternoon in somebody's living room is yours to judge, not mine.
Frequently asked questions
What compact gift suits a family who already have everything?
Something small, complete and finite. A 50ml SOSA reed diffuser is Rs 749 to Rs 849, published to last 6 to 8 weeks, with 6 fibre reeds in a refillable glass bottle, no flame, no socket and nothing to operate. It takes one small surface while it lasts and then it is finished, so it never becomes something to store or carry.
What is published about the 50ml and the step up from it, for judging proportion?
Proportion is a judgement, and the useful thing is to make it on published facts rather than on nerves. What is published for the 50ml is Rs 749 to Rs 849, 6 to 8 weeks of life, 6 fibre reeds and a refillable glass bottle; the step up is a 130ml at Rs 1,249 to Rs 1,349 at 14 to 18 weeks, or a duo set from Rs 1,498. Step up for the length of the hospitality if you want to, not to signal anything.
What can be checked before deciding, and what cannot be?
What can be checked is published; what cannot be is not, and this page will not invent it. What can be stated is what the object is and what it requires: a consumable, no flame, no socket, nothing to switch on, a published life per size and a refillable glass bottle. What anybody makes of being given one is not something SOSA has information about.
How does an order reach Hyderabad?
SOSA is in Pune and sends across India, so it is an online order with delivery to Hyderabad. No delivery timeframe is published here, no same-day or next-day claim is made, and no delivery charge is stated. There is no SOSA counter, no warehouse, no branch and no stockist in any other city, so nothing is collected in person.
Can anything be added around a small bottle so it is not handed over bare?
Not by SOSA. The only branding offered is a custom label or logo on product. There is no custom box, no printed sleeve and no insert card. There is no carton, no ribbon and no message card. If it should look wrapped, that is yours to arrange. Bulk orders are welcome with no rate, no minimum quantity and no price break published, and quantities are settled on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531.

- Brand: Founder story — why SOSA exists
Editorial standards & sources
About this guide: Written by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles-trained founder and perfumer at SOSA Home & Body. Product recommendations reflect the SOSA range; the gift-choosing reasoning applies to any brand.Specifications verified from the live SOSA product pages, September 2026: SOSA reed diffusers are published in five scents and two sizes. Morning Freshness, Malabar lemon and mint, is ₹749 in 50ml and ₹1,249 in 130ml. Garden Bloom, British rose and night-blooming jasmine, and Evening Calm, lavender and chamomile, are ₹799 and ₹1,299. Mountain Breeze, Himalayan pine, sage and cedar, and Fresh Brew, Coorg coffee and Kerala vanilla, are ₹849 and ₹1,349. Published longevity is 6 to 8 weeks for the 50ml and 14 to 18 weeks for the 130ml. Every bottle is supplied with 6 fibre reeds rather than rattan, in a refillable glass bottle, on a CCT carrier - caprylic/capric triglyceride, coconut-derived - that is phthalate-free, paraben-free and IFRA-compliant, made in India. The product pages advise flipping the reeds to refresh projection and state the interval slightly differently, between once a week and every three to seven days, so no single interval is given here as a rule. Three duo combo sets are published: Day & Night at ₹1,498 in 50ml x 2 and ₹2,498 in 130ml x 2, Fresh & Grounded at ₹1,548 and ₹2,548, and Warmth & Bloom at ₹1,598 and ₹2,598; those three pairings are the entire set range and none is composed to order. Reed diffuser refills are ₹2,399 for 300ml and ₹3,499 for 500ml, published for all five scents. For comparison: SOSA attars are ₹379 to ₹399 in 3ml, rising to ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 in 12ml, and are worn rather than placed; SOSA candles start at ₹399 and require a flame; the ultrasonic machines Boond ₹899, Sukoon ₹1,899 and Megh ₹5,999 are water-based and need a socket, water and regular refilling. What is not published, and is therefore not stated here: any coverage, room-size or square-footage figure for a reed diffuser; how a scent behaves in any particular home; any shelf life, oil concentration or evaporation rate; any bulk rate, minimum quantity, price break or lead time; and any presentation packaging beyond a custom label or logo on product. Limits of this guide: fragrance adds a scent to a room. It does not remove, neutralise, mask or purify an odour, it does not clean the air, and no SOSA product makes any health, antibacterial or air-purifying claim. No claim is made anywhere on this page about mood, stress, calm, sleep or wellbeing; where a product is named Evening Calm or Mountain Breeze that is a product name and not a claim about its effect. No claim is made about how any gift will be received. Nothing here states or implies that a gift will impress anybody, be appreciated, create a good impression or affect any relationship; SOSA publishes no information of that kind and none is invented here. No statement is made about what any community, religion or family customarily eats, drinks or gives, and no etiquette rule is presented as a fact - the reasoning offered is reasoning the reader can check against their own situation. No rating, review count or customer name from any product page is cited, and no competitor or category of competing product is characterised. 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. Prices and availability are subject to change - see the live product pages.
