Kit B — open-plan villa: one Vaayu at ₹11,999 for the whole ground floor, four Sukoons upstairs. ₹19,595, plus the Vaayu's own neat oil.
Both kits: nothing in the corridors, nothing on the landing, nothing in the guest room you use four times a year.
2. Kit B, for an open ground floor: one Vaayu plus four Sukoons. The Vaayu at ₹11,999 covers the whole connected downstairs from one point; the four bedrooms upstairs stay on Sukoons at ₹7,596. Total ₹19,595, with the Vaayu's neat oil bought separately — it is waterless and cannot use the Hotel Collection.
3. Add a Boond only for the small odd rooms. A powder room, a home office cupboard, a puja alcove — anything under 150 sq ft is a Boond at ₹899 rather than a full Sukoon. It is the cheapest sensible line on either kit list.
4. Leave the transit space out of the list entirely. Corridors, stairs, the landing, the double-height void. A villa has enough passage area to swallow two machines and give nothing back. Those rooms take their fragrance from the doors either side of them.
5. Do not add a Megh to make the kit feel more serious. It is ₹3,499 for six litres and up to 100 hours, but it is rated to 215 sq ft — less than the ₹1,899 Sukoon. There is exactly one villa use for it: a single very dry bedroom you want running unattended for days.

Why one kit list does not fit both kinds of villa
Floor area is the least useful number on a villa's floor plan. Two houses of 3,200 sq ft can need entirely different equipment, because what determines the kit is how the air inside is divided rather than how much of it there is. An older bungalow is cellular by design — a drawing room you close, a formal dining room, a kitchen with a door because of the cooking, bedrooms off a corridor. Every one of those is a self-contained body of air of two or three hundred square feet, which is precisely what a Sukoon was built for. A bungalow like that is not a big house as far as fragrance is concerned; it is six small ones. Six Sukoons at ₹1,899 finish it completely, each with its own timer, its own scent and its own switch.
The contemporary villa inverts that. The ground floor is deliberately undivided — entrance flowing into seating, seating into dining, dining into an island kitchen, often with a void over the living area and a staircase passing through it. There are no doors to count, so there is nothing to allocate machines to, and the temptation is to place three or four Sukoons around the edge and hope they meet in the middle. They do not. Ultrasonic mist is cold and dense; it falls out of the air within a few metres of the machine rather than travelling across a hall, so what you get is three scented islands and dead air between them. The Vaayu exists for exactly this: it nebulises neat oil into cold air with no water at all, producing a far finer particle that stays airborne long enough to fill a volume. That is the whole reason Kit B has a different machine in it rather than more of the same one.
The three parts of a villa kit
SOSA Sukoon₹1,899Every room with a door that closes takes one Sukoon: master, children's rooms, the study, the guest suite if it is genuinely used. 270–320 sq ft each, which comfortably covers the 150–250 sq ft a villa bedroom usually runs to, with room to spare for a high ceiling. Sixteen to eighteen hours on a fill at low, a remote so nobody crosses a dark room, and steady / 2H / 4H timers so a bedroom can scent itself before bed and stop on its own. Three 15ml scents in each box means a six-machine order arrives with eighteen bottles.The room-by-room list
Both kits laid out room by room, with the machine and the running dose. Coverage figures assume a closed room without a strong draught — a villa bedroom with the garden door open behaves like a smaller room, so err towards the lower end of every range.

| Kit A total: six Sukoons, ₹11,394, eighteen 15ml fragrances included. Kit B total: one Vaayu ₹11,999 plus four Sukoons ₹7,596 = ₹19,595, twelve 15ml fragrances included and the Vaayu's neat oil bought separately. Neither list contains a Megh, which at ₹3,499 covers 215 sq ft — less than a Sukoon. | |||

Where each machine stands, and what it runs on
Bedrooms are the same job in both kits. Put the Sukoon about a metre off the floor and a metre from the bed — a chest of drawers rather than the bedside table if the room allows — and keep it out of the direct throw of the split AC, which will drive the mist against one wall and leave the rest of the room untouched. Three drops of the Hotel Collection in a normal bedroom, four in a large master with a high ceiling. Set the 2H timer and let it run before the room is occupied rather than through the night; a bedroom that smells of something at 3am is over-scented, not well-scented.
Kit A's ground floor rooms want more than a bedroom does and less than people give them. A drawing room of 300–350 sq ft takes four to five drops and an hour of running before guests, not a continuous low burn from lunchtime. Place the machine off to the side of the seating rather than in the middle of it, at roughly the height of a console table, with a foot of clear space around it so the mist disperses instead of condensing on a wall. If the room opens to a garden and that door is open all evening, accept that you are scenting a part-outdoor space and run a slightly higher dose for a shorter time rather than all day at a low one.
Kit B's Vaayu is placed once and then operated from an app, which changes the discipline entirely. It wants to sit low and near existing air movement — beside the seating, in the path of the AC return or the natural draught coming in from the entrance — and it must not go up on a mezzanine or in the void, where its output rises and never comes down. Schedule it in blocks: an hour in the morning, two or three across the evening. Housekeeping for the Sukoons either side of it: filtered water in hard-water cities, a rinse when you change scent, never raw essential or carrier oil in an ultrasonic tank, and every bottle kept away from children and pets.
What each kit costs, itemised
Both kits with the arithmetic shown, plus the trimmed versions for people who do not need every room scented on day one. The fragrance column matters: Sukoons arrive with theirs, the Vaayu does not.

Versailles
The thing I most often delete from a customer's villa order is a machine for the corridor. It feels like the responsible purchase — the passage connects everything, so surely it should smell of something — and it is the one line on the list that reliably does nothing. Air moves through a corridor; it does not sit there.
The second thing I delete is the fourth machine in an open ground floor. People who have accepted that a large space needs more usually reach for more of what they already own, and with ultrasonics that produces pockets rather than coverage. It is not a failure of the Sukoon — it is what cold mist does. That is the only situation in a home where I will point somebody at a commercial machine, and it is why Kit B exists at all.
What I would keep on the list without hesitation: one machine behind every door you actually close, three drops rather than six, and a 300ml bottle once the included fifteens run out. It is a shorter list than most people expect for a house this size. A portion of it funds a girl's classroom through Nanhi Kali.
