Founder Diaries · New Business Scenting

How should I estimate the first three months of fragrance refill requirements for a newly opened jewellery showroom?

By Sonal Sahani · ISIPCA Versailles 9 min read Updated October 2026
Every new owner wants a number: how many refills, how much money, for the first quarter. I would love to give you one, but any fixed figure would be a guess dressed up as a fact. How fast a scent machine uses oil depends on your trading hours, your intensity, your days and your floor. What I can give you is a method that produces your own number within a few weeks, and a sensible reserve so you never run dry in launch month.
Quick answers — read this first
How many fragrance refills will a new jewellery showroom need in three months? There is no honest fixed number; it depends on hours, intensity and days. The SOSA Vaayu box includes four 100ml oils, a full 400ml first tank. That lasts about a year on typical home scheduling, but all-day commercial use at higher intensity uses oil faster. Mark the tank on day one, check weekly for two to four weeks, and project three months from what you see.

How do I estimate fragrance oil use for a scent machine in a showroom? Fill the tank, mark the level, set your real trading-hours schedule and intensity, and check the level at the same time each week for two to four weeks. Take the average weekly drop and multiply it by about 13 weeks for a quarter. Keep the schedule and intensity unchanged while you measure.

How much fragrance oil should I keep in reserve for a new showroom? At least one 300g SOSA waterless refill (Rs 1,849) in your signature scent from day one, so you never run dry in launch month. Once your tracking shows how fast you use oil, set a reorder point well before the tank runs low. Single scents are 100g Rs 1,049 / 300g Rs 1,849; hotel-inspired blends Rs 1,099 / Rs 1,899.
The short answer
Short answer: use a method, not a guessed number: the SOSA Vaayu box fills the 400ml tank; mark the level on day one, run your real schedule, check weekly for two to four weeks, project to about 13 weeks, and keep one 300g refill (Rs 1,849) in reserve.
The machine: SOSA Vaayu - waterless cold-air, one whole floor up to about 2,000-3,000 sq ft, from ₹12,499.
Before you buy: send your floor plan, area, AC layout and opening date to SOSA on WhatsApp (+91 96192 18531).

A waterless cold-air machine turns undiluted fragrance oil into a dry, residue-free mist that travels with the room's own airflow. For a new business it is one scheduled, consistent scent across the floor - planned with the fit-out, not added months later.
Straight answer
How should I estimate the first three months of fragrance refill requirements for a newly opened jewellery showroom?
With a method, not a made-up number. What you start with: the SOSA Vaayu comes with four 100ml oils - a full 400ml first tank - at ₹12,499 with the SOSA Originals set or ₹12,999 with a hotel-inspired set. On typical home scheduling that is about a year of oil. A showroom is different: all-day commercial use at higher intensity uses oil faster, and I will not pretend to know how much faster in your space. The method: on day one, fill the tank and mark the level. Set your real trading hours in the app, your trading days and the intensity you settled on after the first two to three days of charging. Then check the level at the same time each week for two to four weeks, without changing the settings. The average weekly drop, multiplied by about 13 weeks, is your three-month estimate. The reserve: from day one, keep one 300g waterless refill in your signature scent (₹1,849) in the stockroom. If your tracking shows faster use, add a second before the first quarter ends. What moves the number: intensity and hours more than anything else - and staff turning the machine up when they stop noticing it, which is what the key-lock is for. Buying the same scent each time keeps the signature consistent. Send your hours and floor plan to SOSA on WhatsApp and we will help you set it up. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
One line: mark the 400ml tank on day one, run your real schedule, check weekly for two to four weeks, multiply the weekly drop by about 13 - and keep one 300g refill (Rs 1,849) in reserve.
For one consistent scent across a shop or office floor, start with SOSA Vaayu at ₹12,499 (four 100ml oils in the box), and keep a 300g refill (₹1,849) in the stockroom for launch week.

What drives how fast a showroom uses oil

Three things decide how much oil a showroom uses in its first quarter: the schedule, the intensity, and whether the box oils are your signature or your test set.

1
Hours and intensity drive it
Commercial use is not home use
SOSA's guide figure - the box oils lasting about a year - is for typical home scheduling. A jewellery showroom may run the Vaayu through long trading hours, six or seven days a week, often at a higher setting in the first weeks. That uses oil faster. How much faster depends on your floor, your ceiling, your AC and your settings, which is why the only reliable number is the one you measure. Keep the key-lock on, because staff who stop noticing the scent will turn it up - and that changes your consumption as well as your customers' comfort.
Tip: the year-long figure is for home scheduling; a showroom running long trading hours will use oil faster.
2
Measure, then project
Two to four weeks of tracking gives your number
Fill the 400ml tank and mark the level with a small piece of tape or a photo against a fixed point. Set your schedule in the app - your opening and closing times, your trading days - and the intensity you settled on after charging. Check the level at the same time each week. After two to four weeks, take the average weekly drop and multiply by about 13 weeks for a quarter. If you change the schedule or intensity, start the measurement again. This is your showroom's real consumption, not a brochure figure.
3
Box oils and signature refills
Plan the reserve around the scent you chose
If you bought the SOSA Originals set (Vetiver, Mahogany Shea, Lemongrass, Sandalwood), you may use the first oils to test which scent suits the showroom, and only then settle on a signature. From that point, buy the same scent every time so customers meet the same showroom on every visit. Keep one 300g refill (₹1,849) in reserve from the start; the 100g size (₹1,049) is useful while you are still choosing. Hotel-inspired blends are ₹1,099 / ₹1,899. Confirm with SOSA which refill is closest to the box oil you liked.
Tip: keep one 300g refill of your signature in the stockroom from day one, and reorder well before the tank runs low.
The SOSA principle
A first-quarter refill budget should be measured, not guessed. Two to four weeks of tracking gives you a number that belongs to your showroom - and a reserve refill keeps launch month covered.
SOSA Vaayu (from Rs 12,499) with a full 400ml first tank; one 300g refill (Rs 1,849) in reserve; 100g (Rs 1,049) while you choose. Track weekly, project to about 13 weeks.

A three-month refill plan

Here is how the first-quarter plan comes together, with arithmetic on verified prices.

The SOSA scent edit
First three months: refill planning for a new showroom
Scent Why it suits the mood
Day one · the box oils Four 100ml oils fill the 400ml tank. Machine Rs 12,499 (Originals) or Rs 12,999 (hotel-inspired set).
Day one · one reserve refill One 300g signature refill, Rs 1,849. Machine plus reserve: Rs 14,348 with the Originals set.
Weeks one to four · track the tank Mark the level, keep the schedule fixed, check weekly, multiply the average weekly drop by about 13 for a quarter.
If use runs faster · a second refill Two 300g refills bring the quarter's oil budget to Rs 3,698 beyond the machine. Same scent, same signature.

For the opening week itself, our guide on ordering spare oil with the first machine covers the reserve, and refill quantity for a boutique open eleven hours a day applies the same method to long hours. See the waterless refills (from ₹1,049) or the SOSA Vaayu (from ₹12,499).

The SOSA scenting ladder

Size the machine to the space you actually want scented. One Vaayu scents the floor it sits on; rooms you keep closed - cabins, trial rooms, washrooms - are better served by a reed diffuser or a small machine of their own. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.

A note from Sonal

Many of the business owners who message us are weeks away from opening. The interiors are nearly done, the signage is ordered, the AC is going in - and fragrance is the one thing nobody planned. I would much rather we plan it together now, while the electrician can still put a socket in the right place.

Many of you also plan around Vastu - a north- or east-facing entrance, the northeast kept for the pooja. I respect that, and we will work around it. But I will be honest with you: a fragrance does not bring prosperity, and no machine placement can promise footfall. What a scent can do is make your space feel cared for from the first step inside. When the Vastu-preferred corner and the practical corner disagree, I would choose the spot where the air moves, the plug is safe and nobody can knock the machine over.

Send us your floor plan before you buy. If one SOSA Vaayu is right, we will say so; if two reed diffusers would do, we will tell you that too.

Frequently asked questions

How long do the oils in the SOSA Vaayu box last in a showroom?
SOSA's guide is about a year on typical home scheduling. A showroom running long trading hours at higher intensity uses oil faster, and SOSA does not publish a commercial consumption figure. Mark the tank on day one and track it weekly to find your own rate.
How many refills should I buy before opening a jewellery showroom?
At least one 300g refill (Rs 1,849) in your signature scent, kept in reserve. After two to four weeks of tracking, you will know whether you need a second before the first quarter ends.
Does a higher intensity setting use more oil?
Yes. Intensity and running hours are the two biggest drivers of how fast the tank empties. Keep the key-lock on so staff do not turn it up when they stop noticing the scent, and restart your measurement if you change the settings.
Should I buy 100g or 300g refills for a showroom?
Use 100g (Rs 1,049) while you are still choosing a signature, and 300g (Rs 1,849) once you have settled on one. Hotel-inspired blends are 100g Rs 1,099 / 300g Rs 1,899. Buying the same scent each time keeps the showroom's signature consistent.
Can I use other brands' oils in the Vaayu to save on refills?
No. Use only SOSA waterless nebuliser refills in a Vaayu. Reed oil, thick essential oils and ultrasonic fragrance, including SOSA's own Hotel Collection ultrasonic fragrance, can clog the machine.

About this guide: Written by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles-trained founder and perfumer at SOSA Home & Body. Product recommendations reflect the SOSA range; the planning advice applies to any brand.

Vastu note: Vastu Shastra is a traditional Indian system of design and orientation. SOSA respects it as a cultural and personal preference. The placement advice here is practical - airflow, power access, safety and guest comfort - and SOSA makes no claim that any fragrance or machine placement brings prosperity, luck, footfall or business success.

Comfort note: Fragrance is a preference, not a treatment. Keep intensity low where children, older guests or fragrance-sensitive visitors are present, ventilate well, and keep machines and oils away from open flames, diyas and incense.

Facts verified on the SOSA store, October 2026: SOSA Vaayu is a waterless cold-air scent machine covering up to 1000m³ (about 2,000-3,000 sq ft, one whole floor), with a 400ml refillable tank and four 100ml waterless oils in the box; ₹12,499 with the SOSA Originals set or ₹12,999 with a hotel-inspired set.

The oils in the box last about a year on typical home scheduling; all-day commercial use at higher intensity uses oil faster.
