₹749 · 25 = ₹18,725 
₹799 · 50 = ₹39,950 
₹799 · stocked separately 
₹849 · 50 = ₹42,450 
₹449 · below the reed floor
Is there a bulk price? No. ₹749 is ₹749 whether you buy one or a hundred. There is no discount band, no GST invoicing scheme, no custom branding or printed logo, no minimum order, no lead time and no account manager. None of those exists and I will not invent one for a page.
The constraint that does exist: the five reeds are stocked separately, so a hundred bottles across two or three scents is far easier to fill than a hundred identical ones. No stock figure is published here, because it changes daily and would date this page within a week. The shape of the constraint is the useful part.
What to do: for anything above roughly twenty-five units, write to us through the contact page before you order — availability by scent varies, and it is better to ask than to assume. That is an invitation to ask, not a promise of terms.
The honest gap: if your per-head figure is below ₹749, the reed is not available to you at any quantity, and the correct answer is the ₹449 candles rather than a stretched version of this one.
2. The arithmetic is therefore simple, which is its own small advantage. Twenty-five Morning Freshness at ₹749 is ₹18,725. Fifty is ₹37,450. A hundred is ₹74,900. There is no rate to negotiate and therefore no number in your plan that can move underneath you.
3. The real constraint is scent, not price. Each of the five reeds is stocked as a separate product, so a hundred bottles spread across two or three scents is several ordinary orders sitting side by side, while a hundred of one scent is a single concentrated demand. A large mixed order is easier than a large single-scent one. That is the shape of it; I will not publish a stock figure, because it moves daily and a page that quotes one is wrong the following week.
4. So decide the assortment question before anything else. If you can accept two or three scents, say so when you write in and you have a great deal more room. If uniformity genuinely matters — and on an employee list it often should — the middle path is one scent per team or per office, so that everybody who can compare their gift with the person beside them has the same one.
5. Above roughly twenty-five units, write in before you order. Use the contact page. Nothing is waiting on the other end except an honest answer about availability by scent, and that answer is worth more than a rate card because it is the thing that can actually derail a list.

What “in bulk” turns out to mean when you look at it closely
Almost everybody who types this question is asking one of three quite different things, and they have three different answers. Some mean “will you sell me a hundred?” Some mean “will you sell me a hundred more cheaply?” And some mean “can you handle a hundred of the same one?” The first is yes, the second is no, and the third is the only one that requires a real conversation. Separating them is most of the work, so here they are one at a time.
Evening Calm₹799Nothing prevents a large order. The five 50ml reeds are ₹749 to ₹849 and the 130ml bottles are ₹1,249 to ₹1,349, and those prices are the same at one unit and at a hundred. Twenty-five Evening Calm is ₹19,975, fifty is ₹39,950 and a hundred is ₹79,900. The virtue of having no rate card is that the number in your plan is the number you will pay, which on a hundred-name order placed under time pressure is not nothing. Free shipping above ₹499 applies as it does to any order, and that is the only logistics fact I will state anywhere on this page.
Mountain Breeze₹849No bulk rate or per-unit bulk price. No discount band that opens at fifty or a hundred. No GST invoicing scheme beyond an ordinary purchase. No custom branding, printed logo, sleeve or co-branded label. No minimum order. No lead time, no reserved production slot and no dedicated account manager. Six things, and I would rather name all six than let a reader infer any one of them from a friendly sentence. There is also no gift set, gift box, gift wrap, gift note, personalisation or gift card — the duos are two 50ml bottles at ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 rather than a boxed collection, which is worth knowing before you plan around one.
Garden Bloom₹799This is the honest one, and it is the reason to write in rather than simply to click. The five reeds are held as five separate products, so the difficulty of a large order is not a function of its size but of how much of it lands on a single scent. A hundred bottles spread across Morning Freshness, Evening Calm and Mountain Breeze is three ordinary orders next to one another. A hundred bottles of Garden Bloom is one very concentrated demand on one line. A buyer who will accept an assortment has far more room than one who needs a hundred identical bottles — and no stock figure appears on this page, because that number changes daily and would make this guide wrong within a week of publication.
Why I would rather give you this than a rate card
A bulk buyer’s real problem is not the discount. It is the risk of fifty identical wrong gifts — and no rate card has ever protected anybody from that. Three things do. Buy identically within a tier, so that nobody standing next to anybody else can see a difference. Choose a low-polarisation scent, because a gift on a list has to be inoffensive before it is impressive. And ask before ordering, because availability by scent varies and the cost of finding that out late is a re-planned list during the busiest week of the year. That advice is worth more than a percentage, and unlike a percentage it is true.
On the second of those, the blind-buy order at SOSA is settled and I apply it consistently. Evening Calm at ₹799 is the safest, at 8.9 on our strength scale — the softest thing we make, with no cultural loading in an Indian home, where rose, jasmine, coffee and pine all arrive pre-attached to something. Morning Freshness at ₹749 is the cheapest and the lowest-polarisation option at volume. Mountain Breeze at ₹849 is the best answer for a list full of people who are hard to buy for. Garden Bloom at ₹799 is superb and is not a blind buy, because anti-floral is a common and firmly held position. Fresh Brew at ₹849 is the least safe blind buy we make, a warm gourmand at 9.5, and I would not lead it on a staff or client list however well it would land on a coffee drinker.
And on the third: what to put in the message. Four lines is enough. How many units you need; whether one scent or an assortment across two or three; which scent or scents you would prefer; and whether the number could grow. You will get an honest answer and no terms, because there are none to give. Write through the contact page for anything above roughly twenty-five units. It is better to ask than to assume, and it costs one message.
| The request | Does it exist at SOSA | What is true instead |
|---|---|---|
| “Can I order fifty or a hundred?” | Yes | An ordinary order at the ordinary price. 50 × ₹749 = ₹37,450; 100 × ₹749 = ₹74,900 |
| “Is there a bulk rate or a discount band?” | No | ₹749 is ₹749 at one unit and at a hundred. No per-unit bulk price exists to quote |
| “Can you invoice under a GST arrangement?” | No published scheme | There is no bulk invoicing arrangement to describe on a page |
| “Can you brand the bottles with our logo?” | No | No custom branding, sleeve, printed label, gift wrap, gift note or personalisation exists |
| “What is the minimum order and the lead time?” | Neither exists | No minimum, no lead time, no reserved slot and no dedicated account manager |
| “Can you do a hundred of one scent?” | Ask first | The five reeds are stocked separately. Mixed is easier than single-scent — write through the contact page above roughly 25 units |

Which quantity and budget combinations the reed actually fits
This is where I would rather talk a reader out of the reed than sell one badly. The reed fits when your per-head figure is ₹749 or above. Below that it does not fit at any quantity, because there is no reed under ₹749 at any size and the cheapest machine is the Boond at ₹899 — a bulk order does not conjure a cheaper bottle into existence. So if your brief is fifty gifts at ₹500 a head, the honest answer is not a reed. It is the Sandalwood or Smoked Oudh candle at ₹449, where fifty is ₹22,450 and a hundred is ₹44,900, or the message-free jar candles at ₹379, where a hundred is ₹37,900.
Where the reed is unambiguously the better object, and the reason people keep coming back to it for lists, is duration and effort. A 50ml reed runs six to eight weeks with no flame, nothing to light and nothing to supervise, against roughly fifteen to eighteen hours for a single jar candle and thirty to thirty-six for the two-pack. On a list, that difference has a specific consequence: the candle is an event the recipient has to arrange, and the reed is simply a condition of the room from the day it is unpacked. If you are choosing between the two on a hundred-name list and the budget allows either, the reed is the stronger gift and it is not close.
One fair word for the alternative, because a fifty-name list is normally a decision between categories rather than products. Mithai is a ritual, not a lazy default. On a first approach to elders, or in a household where sweets are the expected shape of the greeting, sweets are correct and a diffuser is a substitution nobody asked for. Where the reed wins is the rest of the list — fifty households receiving several near-identical boxes inside one week, nobody having told you about the diabetic parent, and a fourth box arriving as an event rather than a gift. Duplication and dietary exposure are what home fragrance answers; it does not pretend to answer the others.
What to do, in sequence
The whole answer as a set of moves rather than a description, with the arithmetic shown at each quantity. The last row is the honest gap, printed with its figures, because on a page whose subject is what a brand will and will not do, the will-not is the part worth publishing.
| Step | What it is | The arithmetic | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Decide single scent or mixed ★ | The one decision that changes how large an order can sensibly be | Mixed across two or three scents is materially easier to fill than one scent | Free to decide |
| 2. Morning Freshness 50ml | Cheapest reed and lowest polarisation at volume, 9.0, bright | 25 × ₹749 = ₹18,725 · 50 = ₹37,450 · 100 = ₹74,900 | ₹749 |
| 3. Evening Calm 50ml | The safest blind buy, 8.9 — softest projection in the range | 25 × ₹799 = ₹19,975 · 50 = ₹39,950 · 100 = ₹79,900 | ₹799 |
| 4. Write in above roughly 25 units | Four lines: how many, one scent or mixed, which scents, whether it may grow | Availability by scent varies — an answer, not an arrangement | No terms quoted |
| 5. Buy identically within the tier | Nobody who can compare two gifts should be able to see a difference | One scent per team or per office if uniformity matters | Free to do |
| Below ₹749 a head, the reed is not available: the honest gap | No reed under ₹749 at any size, no machine under ₹899, and no bulk rate, band, GST scheme, branding, minimum or lead time at any quantity | 50 × ₹449 = ₹22,450 · 100 × ₹449 = ₹44,900 · 100 × ₹379 = ₹37,900 | ₹449 / ₹379 |
Versailles
We could have built a bulk programme. Every Diwali somebody suggests it, and every Diwali I decide against publishing one, for a reason that has nothing to do with generosity. A rate card is a promise about the future, and the part of a large order that actually goes wrong is not the price. It is the availability of one particular scent in one particular week, and no percentage on a page can protect a buyer from that.
So what this page does instead is tell you the truth twice. There is no bulk rate, no band, no GST scheme, no branding, no minimum and no lead time — and the reason a hundred bottles of one scent is a harder request than a hundred bottles is that we hold the five reeds as five separate products. Those two sentences are the entire honest content of the subject, and I think a buyer with a hundred names is better served by them than by a discount they would spend an afternoon chasing.
What I would genuinely like you to do is write. Above roughly twenty-five units, send us four lines through the contact page before you order — how many, one scent or an assortment, which scents, and whether the number might grow. There is nothing to negotiate at the other end and I will not pretend there is. There is an answer, and in the week before Diwali an answer is worth a great deal. Everything is made in Pune, and part of every order funds a girl’s classroom through Nanhi Kali.
