Does it connect to a smart-home system? SOSA does not publish any integration with a home-automation system, and this page will not invent one. What is published is Bluetooth app control plus onboard buttons, day scheduling, adjustable intensity, auto-stop and a key-lock. No app name, no phone compatibility and no connection range appear on the product page.
Is it another device that needs feeding? Less than most. It is waterless, so there is no water to top up, and every unit ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances, 100 ml each. The ultrasonic machines are the water-based ones, and they do want regular refilling. Those are SOSA's own hotel-inspired interpretations, and SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel brand.

A first independent house that has been fitted out properly is a hard place to bring a device into. Anything that plugs in and does a job has already been chosen, compared and installed by people who enjoyed doing it, and turning up with one more is either a duplicate or a downgrade of something they researched for a fortnight. The appliance category is closed, and no amount of money reopens it. What is still open sits right beside it and is easy to miss, because it is the one thing in the house that nobody specified.
The one category a finished fit-out leaves open. SOSA Vaayu, ₹11,999 - waterless cold-air diffusion with no water to top up, published for up to 1000 m3, about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected air, a 400ml refillable tank, Bluetooth app plus onboard buttons, run windows of 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours, adjustable intensity and operation under 38 dB. Four 100 ml fragrances included.

What premium gift is left when a house already has every appliance and gadget? The one category nobody specifies. Lighting, climate, security and entertainment all got chosen; scent did not. SOSA Vaayu at ₹11,999 is a waterless cold-air scent machine published for up to 1000 m3, about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected air, under 38 dB, with 1, 4, 8 or 24-hour run windows.Does it connect to a smart-home system?

The short answer
Short answer: The category still open is scent, because it is the only layer of a fitted-out house that no specifier ever chose. SOSA Vaayu is Rs 11,999, waterless and published for about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected air, under 38 dB, with four 100 ml fragrances included.
The pick: A SOSA Vaayu at ₹11,999 where the living level is one open volume - and honestly, reed diffusers from ₹749 where it is a set of separate rooms, because a second machine is not a published answer.
Why: No appliance already in the house does it, it is waterless so there is nothing to top up, it runs under 38 dB and it is complete in the box.
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
It is their first independent house and the fit-out is finished, including the smart-home work. Every appliance and gadget is already bought - what premium category is actually still open?
Scent, and it is open for a structural reason rather than a marketing one. Think about who chose everything else in that house. Somebody specified the lighting and how it is controlled. Somebody specified climate, security, entertainment, the kitchen machines, the water system. Each of those is a category with products, comparisons and an owner. Scent has no specifier anywhere in the process, which is why a house can be finished to the last switch plate and still have nothing at all deciding what it smells like. That makes it the only gift category in the building that is not a duplicate, a downgrade or a comment on somebody's research. SOSA Vaayu at ₹11,999 is the published answer: waterless cold-air diffusion producing a dry, residue-free mist with no water and no heat, rated for up to 1000 m3, stated on the page as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft, with a 400ml refillable tank, Bluetooth app control alongside onboard buttons, run windows of 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours with day scheduling and adjustable intensity, under 38 dB, DC 12V / 1A at 5W, 165 x 80.5 x 215 mm at 0.9 kg, black or white, freestanding or wall and HVAC mounted, CE, RoHS and SGS marked, made in India, and supplied with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances of 100 ml each. Three honest notes for a technically minded household. No integration with any home-automation system is published, and neither is an app name, a phone compatibility list or a connection range, so nobody should promise you those. A coverage rating assumes one connected body of air, so the figure describes an open living level rather than a plan of shut doors. And fragrance adds a scent - it does not remove, neutralise or purify one, and a residue-free mist is a claim about residue rather than about air quality. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
You are not looking for a better gadget than the ones they bought. You are looking for the category nobody put on the specification at all, and in a fitted-out house there is essentially one.
The quick version: Vaayu at ₹11,999 - waterless, so nothing to top up, about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected air, under 38 dB, scheduled in 1, 4, 8 or 24-hour windows, four 100 ml fragrances in the box.

Why the gadget shelf is closed, and what is still open next to it
Three things to work through, and the middle one is where most technically confident buyers get ahead of what is actually published.
1
The first
Why the appliance shelf is closed and the scent layer is not
A fitted-out house is a house where somebody has been through categories one at a time. Lighting and its control, climate, security, entertainment, kitchen equipment, water. Every one of those had a specification, a comparison of two or three options and a decision that somebody defends at dinner. Arriving with another device in any of those categories puts you in a contest you cannot win: either they already own it, or they considered it and rejected it for reasons you have not heard.
Scent sits outside that entire process. No architect, contractor or systems integrator is ever asked what the house should smell like, so the category never gets opened, never gets compared and never gets bought. It is not that people dislike it. It is that it is nobody's line item.
That is what makes it the one premium category still available to you in a finished house, and it is also why the gift does not read as a correction. You are not suggesting a better version of something they chose. You are handing over the only layer that was never on anybody's list, which is a different kind of gift entirely and a much safer one.

Tip: Do not shop where they already shopped. Shop where nobody in the project was ever asked to.

The second
What a technically minded household will ask, and what is published
This is where a page like this has to be careful, because the obvious next question in a house with a fit-out is whether the machine joins the rest of the system. SOSA publishes no integration with any home-automation platform, and there is no app name, no phone compatibility list and no connection range on the product page either. So none of that is claimed here, and anybody who does claim it is filling in a blank.
What is published is specific and checkable. Control is a Bluetooth app together with buttons on the unit. Run windows are 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours, with day scheduling and adjustable intensity, plus auto-stop and a key-lock. Power is DC 12V / 1A at 5W, operation is under 38 dB, and the unit is 165 x 80.5 x 215 mm at 0.9 kg in black or white, standing freestanding or going on a wall or HVAC mount. It carries CE, RoHS and SGS marks and its country of origin is India.
The mounting line invites one more question, and the answer is the same kind of honest. Freestanding, wall and HVAC mounting are published as options; no installation service is published, no warranty period, no service interval and no running-cost figure. Nothing about wall fixings or anything electrical belongs on a fragrance page, and who fits it is a matter for the household rather than for SOSA. What is worth checking before you buy is on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531.

The third
How much of the living level is genuinely one volume
The published coverage figure is the useful part of the specification, and also the part most easily over-read. Vaayu is rated for up to 1000 m3, stated as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft, and the sentence that governs it is this: a rating assumes one connected body of air.
In a modern independent house that usually works in your favour, because the living level is often deliberately open - entrance into living, living into dining, a stairwell running through. That is one volume, it is what the figure describes, and it is precisely the case a small passive bottle cannot handle. Bedrooms upstairs behind their own doors are not part of that volume, whatever the total built-up area says.
So the sensible shape of the gift is often a machine for the open level and something passive for a room or two above it. Reed diffusers from ₹749 and duo sets from ₹1,498 need no socket, no schedule and no app, and they keep going whether or not anybody is at home. If the connected area is unusually large, that is a WhatsApp question rather than a calculation, because no figure is published for what a second machine adds.

Tip: Coverage describes connected air, not built-up area. Those two numbers are rarely the same in a two-storey house.
Read the number strictly, not generously
About 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft - of air that is actually connected
Vaayu publishes a coverage figure, which almost nothing in home fragrance does: up to 1000 m3, stated as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft. The caveat matters more than the number. A rating assumes one connected body of air. A ground floor that runs living into dining into a stairwell is one volume and is exactly what the figure describes. A bungalow of the same total area with six closed doors is not one volume, it is six rooms, and the figure does not transfer. Work out how much of the house is genuinely open before you work out anything else - and note that no guidance is published on what a second unit adds.

Work it out in this order
Four steps for a house where everything else is already chosen
- Skip every category that had a specification. You cannot win those.
- Take the one layer nobody specified, which in practice means scent.
- Check the living level is one open volume before choosing a machine.
- Ask SOSA on WhatsApp what is published, and treat the rest as unknown.
The SOSA principle
A house can be specified down to the last switch plate and still have nobody at all deciding what it smells like. Scent is not an unpopular category in a fit-out; it is an absent one, because it never appears on a drawing, a schedule or a bill of quantities for anybody to own.
That absence is the entire opportunity here, and it also explains why the gift cannot read as a correction: there is no earlier decision for it to disagree with.
What the machine actually is, and what SOSA does not publish about it
Three published four-scent sets exist, all at ₹11,999, so this is a taste decision and not a specification one. The sets pair Ritz-Carlton with Westin, St. Regis and 1 Hotels inspirations; Westin with Shangri-La, Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton; and St. Regis with W Hotels, 1 Hotels and Four Seasons. Those are SOSA's own hotel-inspired interpretations, and SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel brand. In a first independent house the hotel register can go either way - some people want the building to read as an arrival, others have just spent a year making it read as theirs and would rather it did not sound like anywhere else. You cannot resolve that from outside, and four 100 ml bottles mean you do not have to: the decision moves to the people living there. If none of the four suits, the waterless nebuliser oils at ₹1,049 for 100 gm and ₹1,849 for 300 gm keep the correction small. One technical note worth repeating: a waterless machine takes water-free oil, and the water-based bottles on the site belong to the ultrasonic line.
The SOSA gift edit
Four premium categories, and why three of them are already closed
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| SOSA Vaayu · ₹11,999 | The open category. Waterless, so nothing to top up; about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected air; under 38 dB; 1, 4, 8 or 24-hour run windows with adjustable intensity; four 100 ml fragrances in the box. It closes only where the plan is separate rooms, or where nobody will ever set a schedule. |
| Another connected device · any price | Closed before you arrived. Whatever it is, it was either specified and bought or considered and rejected, and a second one is a duplicate. Worse, it invites comparison with a decision somebody made carefully, which is the one conversation a gift should never start. |
| An ultrasonic diffuser · ₹899 to ₹5,999 | Boond, Sukoon and Megh are water-based and suit one room. They are good products, but they hand a recurring refilling job to somebody who did not choose them, which is a real consideration for a gift. In a house of finished systems, a task is a poor thing to give. |
| A reed diffuser or duo set · ₹749 to ₹2,598 | The right answer for bedrooms, a study or a landing above the open level. About 6 to 10 weeks, nothing to plug in, nothing to operate. It comes apart if it is asked to cover a double-height living volume on its own, which no passive bottle can do. |
The two details that matter in a finished house
Under 38 dB, and it runs only when you tell it to
Two published details decide whether this belongs in a house somebody spent years on. It runs under 38 dB, which is the answer to the reasonable worry about a machine humming in a double-height living room. And it is scheduled: Bluetooth app plus onboard buttons, run windows of 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours, chosen days and adjustable intensity, with auto-stop and a key-lock. That is what makes it workable in a house occupied for part of the year, or a room used only when people come over. It is 165 x 80.5 x 215 mm and 0.9 kg, black or white, freestanding or wall and HVAC mounted, and it ships with four 100 ml fragrances - so it is complete on the day it arrives.
See the nebuliser refills from ₹1,049 →
Two products at the ends of the range are worth ruling in or out explicitly. SOSA Meenar at ₹38,500 is published for 12,000 to 18,000 sq ft, which is hotel, showroom and corporate territory; buying it for an independent house because the house is well equipped would not be ambitious, it would be a mismatch at more than three times the price. At the other end, SOSA Safar at ₹3,999 is cordless and portable, about 6.9 cm, with a 2000 mAh Type-C battery, three speeds and a 1, 2 or 3-hour auto shut-off; it goes with a person to a car or a hotel room rather than scenting a property, and it is imported rather than made in India. Attars from ₹379 are worn rather than placed. Each of those answers a different question from the one you are asking, which is what belongs in a finished building.
₹11,999. Up to 1000 m3, stated as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected volume. A 400ml tank, Bluetooth app plus onboard buttons, 1h/4h/8h/24h run windows and adjustable intensity. Under 38 dB.
₹11,999
165 x 80.5 x 215 mm and 0.9 kg, in black or white, freestanding on a surface or wall and HVAC mounted. DC 12V / 1A at 5W, with auto-stop and a key-lock, and CE, RoHS and SGS marks.
0.9 kg · under 38 dB
Every Vaayu ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances, 100 ml each, in one of three published four-scent sets. So it is complete on arrival, which matters more for a gift than it sounds.
four x 100 ml included
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.
A house can be specified to the last switch plate and still have nobody deciding what it smells like. That is not a gap in their planning. It is a gap in how houses get planned.
— 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 air it is meant to handle
Start from the architecture, not from the budget
| Product | What it is | What it is for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOSA Vaayu | Waterless cold-air scent machine | Up to 1000 m3, stated as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected volume - a 400ml tank, Bluetooth app and onboard buttons, 1h/4h/8h/24h scheduling, adjustable intensity, under 38 dB | ₹11,999 |
| SOSA Meenar | The commercial-scale machine | Published for 12,000 to 18,000 sq ft - a hotel, showroom or corporate answer rather than a home one, and rarely the right gift | ₹38,500 |
| SOSA reed diffuser duo sets | Two bottles, two rooms | ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 in 50ml x 2 and ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 in 130ml x 2, about 6 to 10 weeks - passive, and running whether or not anybody is in the house | from ₹1,498 |
| SOSA reed diffusers | One room at a time | ₹749 to ₹849 in 50ml and ₹1,249 to ₹1,349 in 130ml - nothing to schedule, nothing to plug in, and no control over when it runs | from ₹749 |
| SOSA ultrasonic machines | Water-based, single room | Boond ₹899, Sukoon ₹1,899 and Megh ₹5,999 - they need water, a socket and regular refilling, and they suit one room rather than a connected floor | from ₹899 |
| SOSA Safar | Portable, cordless, 6.9 cm | ₹3,999 - it goes with a person to a car, a bag or a hotel room. It does not scent a property, and it is imported rather than made in India | ₹3,999 |
| SOSA attars | Alcohol-free roll-on oil | Worn on the body rather than placed in a room - the right answer when the gift is about the person and not the house | from ₹379 |
A coverage rating assumes one connected body of air. Vaayu's figure describes an open-plan volume - a living-dining floor, a duplex's main level, a double-height hall. A house with every internal door shut is not one volume, and the figure does not transfer to it. Every Vaayu ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances, 100 ml each, and its country of origin is India. Fragrance adds a scent to a space; it does not remove, neutralise or purify one, and the dry residue-free mist is a statement about residue rather than about air quality. SOSA blends described as hotel-inspired are SOSA's own interpretations and SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel brand. Prices above are published retail prices; bulk orders are welcome and quantities are settled on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531. SOSA is an Indian fragrance house based in Pune. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
The honest spec sheet
What the Vaayu page publishes, and what it does not
Everything below is on the live product page. Anything not on this list is not something a page like this should state.
- Coverage - up to 1000 m3, published as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft. A rating assumes one connected body of air, so it describes an open-plan floor rather than a house of closed rooms.
- The machine - waterless cold-air diffusion, dry and residue-free, no water and no heat. 165 x 80.5 x 215 mm, 0.9 kg, black or white, freestanding or wall and HVAC mounted. DC 12V / 1A, 5W. Under 38 dB. Auto-stop and key-lock. CE, RoHS and SGS. Country of origin India.
- Control - a 400ml refillable tank, Bluetooth app plus onboard buttons, run windows of 1h, 4h, 8h or 24h, day scheduling and adjustable intensity. This is what makes it workable in a house that is empty for stretches, or a room used only at weekends.
- In the box - every Vaayu ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances, 100 ml each, in one of three published four-scent sets, all at ₹11,999. SOSA blends described as hotel-inspired are SOSA's own interpretations and SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel brand.
- The fragrance - alcohol-free, water-free oils formulated for cold-air diffusion. SOSA waterless nebuliser refills are ₹1,049 for 100 gm and ₹1,849 for 300 gm and are published for Vaayu and Safar. The water-based ultrasonic bottles belong to a different kind of machine.
- Not published, and therefore never stated here: how long a 400ml fill lasts as a single figure - the page says about 75 days in one place and 90 or more in another; what a second unit adds; any warranty period, service interval or filter; any installation service; any app name, phone compatibility or Bluetooth range; and any running or electricity cost. Those go to WhatsApp +91 96192 18531.
Not sure whether the house needs a machine or a bottle? Tell SOSA on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 four things: roughly how much of the ground floor is one connected open volume, whether the internal doors stay open or shut, how often the house is actually occupied, and what you want to spend. You will get one straight answer rather than a catalogue - including the times the honest answer is a reed diffuser from ₹749 or a duo set from ₹1,498 rather than a machine. What is not on this page, because SOSA does not publish it: what a second unit adds, any warranty period, any installation service, any running or electricity cost, and any app or Bluetooth compatibility detail. One thing to check before you buy: the Vaayu page states the life of a 400ml fill two different ways - about 75 days in one place and 90 or more in another - and it depends on intensity and scheduled hours in any case, so ask rather than plan around a number. Every Vaayu ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances, 100 ml each; SOSA waterless nebuliser refills are ₹1,049 for 100 gm and ₹1,849 for 300 gm. Bulk orders are welcome and custom label or logo on product is available; quantities and anything commercial are settled on WhatsApp rather than priced on a page. Bespoke composition, a fragrance composed for you by Sonal, is a real SOSA service and is also discussed there. 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
The messages I find hardest to answer are the ones that begin with an apology. They have just finished building the house. I don't want to sound cheap, but I also can't buy them anything that matters at that scale. And underneath it is a real anxiety: that after years of drawings and delays and site visits, whatever you turn up with will look like a token.
What I would say is that the anxiety is aimed at the wrong thing. You are not competing with the house. Nobody is. The people who built it spent two years choosing between four shades of the same stone, and there is no object you can hand over that will register on that scale. Trying is how people end up buying a vase that gets moved to a spare room.
The reason I keep coming back to scent for these particular houses is unromantic. It is the last layer, and it is the only one nobody planned. An architect resolves the volume, a designer resolves the surfaces, a lighting consultant resolves the evening, and then everybody stops - because scent is not on anybody's drawing. So it is one of the few things left that adds to a finished house without arguing with a single decision already made in it.
The part I would be careful about is the number. Vaayu publishes a coverage figure, which almost nothing in home fragrance does, and I would rather you read it strictly than generously. About 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft, of air that is actually connected. A ground floor that opens living into dining into a stairwell is that. A bungalow with six closed doors is not that, whatever its total square footage says on paper, and a page that blurs the two is doing you no favours.
Frequently asked questions
What premium category is genuinely still open in a fully fitted-out house?
Scent, because no architect, contractor or systems integrator is ever asked to specify it. Lighting, climate, security, entertainment and kitchen equipment all have owners and comparisons behind them, so a gift in those categories is a duplicate or a second opinion. Scent has no earlier decision for a gift to disagree with.
Does SOSA Vaayu connect to a home automation system?
SOSA publishes no integration with any home automation platform, and no app name, phone compatibility list or connection range appears on the product page, so nothing of the sort is claimed here. What is published is Bluetooth app control alongside buttons on the unit, run windows of 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours, day scheduling, adjustable intensity, auto-stop and a key-lock.
Is this another device that needs constant attention?
Less than most. It is waterless, so there is no water to top up and no white dust, and every unit comes with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances of 100 ml each. How long one 400 ml fill lasts is stated two ways on the page - about 75 days in the specification data and 90 or more in the body copy - and it depends on intensity and scheduled hours, so ask on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531.
How much of a two-storey house does one unit handle?
The published figure is up to 1000 cubic metres, stated as approximately 2,000 to 3,000 square feet, and it assumes one connected body of air. In practice that means the open living level rather than the built-up area of the whole house; bedrooms behind their own doors are separate volumes. No figure is published for what a second unit adds.
Who installs it, and is there a warranty?
Freestanding placement and wall or HVAC mounting are published as options, but no installation service is published and no warranty period, service interval or running-cost figure appears on the page, so none is stated here. Anything structural or electrical is a matter for the household. Ask SOSA on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 for whatever is current.

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-buying reasoning applies to any brand.Specifications verified from the live SOSA product pages, September 2026: SOSA Vaayu ₹11,999 is a waterless cold-air scent diffuser producing a dry, residue-free mist with no water and no heat. Published coverage is up to 1000 cubic metres, stated on the product page as approximately 2,000 to 3,000 square feet. It has a 400 ml refillable tank; Bluetooth app control together with onboard buttons; run windows of 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours with day scheduling and adjustable intensity; auto-stop and key-lock; operation under 38 dB; a DC 12V / 1A, 5W supply; dimensions of 165 x 80.5 x 215 mm at 0.9 kg; a choice of black or white; freestanding or wall and HVAC mounting; and CE, RoHS and SGS marks. Its country of origin is India. Every Vaayu ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances of 100 ml each, in one of three published four-scent sets, all at the same price. SOSA Meenar ₹38,500 is published for 12,000 to 18,000 sq ft. The ultrasonic machines Boond ₹899, Sukoon ₹1,899 and Megh ₹5,999 are water-based and suit a single room or small area. SOSA reed diffusers are ₹749 to ₹849 in 50 ml and ₹1,249 to ₹1,349 in 130 ml, lasting approximately 6 to 10 weeks, with three duo combo sets at ₹1,498, ₹1,548 and ₹1,598 in two 50 ml bottles and ₹2,498, ₹2,548 and ₹2,598 in two 130 ml bottles; those three pairings are the entire set range and none is composed to order. SOSA Safar ₹3,999, or ₹4,499 for the hotel-inspired trios, is a waterless cordless portable diffuser of approximately 6.9 cm with a 2000 mAh Type-C battery giving up to 10 hours continuous or 30 hours intermittent per charge, three speeds and a 1, 2 or 3-hour auto shut-off; its country of origin is China. SOSA attars are ₹379 to ₹399 in 3 ml, rising to ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 in 12 ml. SOSA waterless nebuliser refills for Vaayu and Safar are ₹1,049 for 100 gm and ₹1,849 for 300 gm. About the coverage figure: a rating assumes one connected body of air. The published figure describes an open-plan volume such as a living-dining floor, a duplex's main level or a double-height hall, and does not describe a property whose rooms are separated by closed doors, whatever its total floor area. No guidance is published on what a second unit adds. About tank life: the Vaayu product page states the life of one 400 ml fill in two different ways - approximately 75 days in its specification and FAQ data, and 90 or more days in its body copy - and in either case it depends on the intensity setting and the scheduled hours, so no single figure is stated on this page. What is not published, and is therefore not stated here: any warranty period, service interval or filter; any installation service; any app name, phone compatibility or Bluetooth range; any running or electricity cost; and any multi-unit coverage. Limits of this guide: fragrance adds a scent to a space. It does not remove, neutralise, mask or purify odour, it does not clean the air, and no SOSA product makes any health, antibacterial or air-purifying claim; a dry residue-free mist is a statement about residue and not about air quality. No claim is made anywhere on this page about mood, stress, calm, sleep or wellbeing, nor about how any recipient or guest will feel, nor about what a gift does for any business result. No page here characterises any recipient's wealth or describes people who own particular kinds of property; where a property value appears it is the figure the reader themselves supplied as context. SOSA blends described as hotel-inspired are SOSA's own interpretations and SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel brand. 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.
