How much area does one scent machine cover? One SOSA Vaayu covers up to 1000 cubic metres, which is about 2000 to 3000 sq ft, so a single open zone within that size is usually one machine. A larger open floor beyond that uses an Angaan (about 8,000 to 10,000 sq ft) or Meenar (about 12,000 to 18,000 sq ft) rather than several Vaayu units.
What counts as a zone when planning quantity? A customer-facing area that reads as one open space - a reception, a shop floor, a lounge, a display hall. Separate rooms or floors are separate zones. Plan roughly one Vaayu per zone up to 1000 cubic metres (about 2000 to 3000 sq ft); very large open zones step up to a bigger machine.

Facts verified August 2026 (SOSA Vaayu product page): The Vaayu is a waterless cold-air diffuser priced at ₹11,999 (one-time), and each machine ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrance oils of 100ml each (400ml total, about one full tank). It atomises alcohol-free, water-free fragrance oil into a dry nano-mist covering up to 1000m3 (about 2000 to 3000 sq ft), has a 400ml refillable tank that lasts up to about 75 days depending on the intensity setting and daily run hours, offers 1h/4h/8h/24h timers and Bluetooth app control, and runs under 38dB. The main recurring cost is fragrance oil; electricity is minimal on a low-power cold-air atomiser. SOSA does NOT publish a fixed monthly running-cost figure because it depends on intensity, hours, space and refill size chosen - the exact monthly cost, refill cadence, refill sizes and prices, bulk machine pricing, lead times and any multi-location fragrance-supply plan are confirmed on a quotation, and there is no compulsory subscription or lock-in. Larger spaces use the Angaan (₹25,999, ~8,000-10,000 sq ft) or Meenar (₹38,500, ~12,000-18,000 sq ft). A signature scent enhances a premium space and works alongside good service; SOSA makes no claim that scent alone increases sales, conversions or footfall. Hotel-inspired scents are SOSA's own original interpretations; SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel. Prices and availability are subject to change - see the live product pages.
Planning how many scent machines a multi-location business needs sounds like a big estimation problem, but it is really one small rule applied consistently: one machine per customer-facing zone, sized by area, counted per site.
Quick answers — read this first
How do I plan how many scent machines my business needs? Use a simple rule: roughly one Vaayu (Rs 11,999 one-time, covers up to 1000 cubic metres, about 2000 to 3000 sq ft) per open customer-facing zone. Count the zones in each location and add them across sites. A very large single floor uses a bigger Angaan or Meenar instead. SOSA confirms the machine quantity on a quotation.

The short answer
Short answer: to plan scent machine quantity, count the open customer-facing zones per location (one Vaayu per zone up to 1000m3, about 2000 to 3000 sq ft, Rs 11,999 one-time each) and add across sites; very large floors step up to Angaan or Meenar, confirmed on a quotation.
The numbers we can state: SOSA Vaayu ₹11,999 one-time (ships with 400ml oil, about one full tank); covers up to 1000m3 (about 2000-3000 sq ft); a 400ml tank lasts up to ~75 days depending on intensity and hours. Larger floors: Angaan ₹25,999, Meenar ₹38,500.

In this guide
Commercial scenting has a simple cost shape: a one-time machine, then fragrance oil as the main recurring cost, plus minimal electricity. The SOSA Vaayu is ₹11,999 and ships with 400ml of oil (about one full tank); a 400ml fill lasts up to about 75 days depending on the intensity setting and how many hours a day it runs, so refills are occasional rather than constant. Exact monthly fragrance cost, bulk machine pricing and multi-location supply depend on your settings and scale, and are confirmed on a quotation.

Straight answer
How do I plan the right number of scent machines across my locations?
Use one rule, applied consistently. A SOSA Vaayu covers up to 1000 cubic metres (about 2000 to 3000 sq ft), so plan one machine per open customer-facing zone within that size. Count the zones in each location - a reception, a shop floor, a lounge each count as one - and add them across all your sites for your machine quantity. Where a single open floor is very large, step up: one Angaan (₹25,999, about 8,000 to 10,000 sq ft) or Meenar (₹38,500, about 12,000 to 18,000 sq ft) instead of several Vaayu units fighting the volume. The Vaayu is ₹11,999 one-time each and ships with 400ml of oil. SOSA confirms the final quantity, placement and fragrance supply on a quotation - we would rather plan the right number with you than sell you extra.
Plan one Vaayu per open customer-facing zone up to 2000 to 3000 sq ft (Rs 11,999 one-time each), counted per location and added across sites; very large floors step up to Angaan or Meenar.
The honest headline: the SOSA Vaayu is ₹11,999 as a one-time machine, and it ships with 400ml of oil (about one full tank), so your first fill is included. After that the main recurring cost is fragrance oil - a 400ml tank lasts up to about 75 days depending on intensity and hours - plus minimal electricity. For exact monthly figures, bulk pricing or a multi-location plan, a quotation gives you real numbers.

A method for planning machine quantity
The whole method comes down to defining a zone, sizing it, and counting consistently across every site. Here is the method step by step.
1
Define a zone
One open customer-facing space
A zone is an area that reads as one open space to a visitor - a reception, a shop floor, a lounge, a display hall. Separate rooms and separate floors are separate zones. Getting this definition right is most of the work; the counting is easy after that.
Tip: a zone is one open customer-facing space, room by room.
2
Size the zone
Vaayu up to 2000 to 3000 sq ft
One Vaayu covers up to 1000 cubic metres (about 2000 to 3000 sq ft). A zone within that size is one machine. A zone clearly larger than that steps up to an Angaan or Meenar rather than doubling up Vaayu units, which keeps coverage even and the count honest.
3
Count across sites
Sum the zones for your total
Repeat the zone count at every location and add them up. That sum is your machine quantity. A small outlet may be one zone; a flagship several. SOSA reviews the plan, confirms placement and maps the fragrance supply on a quotation. There is no compulsory subscription. Made in India.
Tip: sum the zones across every site for your machine total.
The SOSA principle
Planning machine quantity goes wrong when a business guesses by square footage of the whole building instead of counting the open zones a visitor actually moves through - the zone is the right unit, because that is how scent fills a space.
Count the zones, not the floor plan, and the quantity almost plans itself.
From zone count to machine count
It helps to see the rule turned into a small worked example - clearly illustrative, not a quote. Here is how zones become a machine count.
The SOSA scent edit
From zones to machine count (illustrative)
| Scent | Why it suits the mood |
|---|---|
| A small single-zone outlet | One open floor up to about 2000 to 3000 sq ft - roughly one Vaayu at Rs 11,999 one-time, illustrative, confirmed on a quotation. |
| A branch with three zones | Reception, shop floor and lounge - roughly three Vaayu units, or fewer plus a bigger machine if one zone is very large; illustrative only. |
| A very large single floor | One big open hall beyond 2000 to 3000 sq ft - one Angaan or Meenar rather than several Vaayu units; confirmed on a quotation. |
Those examples are a way to picture the rule, not a quote - your real sites will have their own zone counts, and SOSA validates the plan with you. The surest way to sanity-check the rule is to place one Vaayu in a representative zone and confirm it fills the space at your settings before scaling. When the count is set, a quotation turns it into real numbers with placement and fragrance supply mapped across every location, stepping any large floor up to the Meenar.
Clear numbers, no surprises
SOSA Vaayu ₹11,999 one-time (ships with 400ml oil); a 400ml tank lasts up to ~75 days. Get exact running cost, bulk pricing and multi-location supply on one quotation.
The unit of scenting is the zone, not the building. Count the open spaces a visitor walks through, size each one, add them up - and machine quantity stops being a guess.

The SOSA Vaayu cost structure
Whichever way you buy, the shape is the same: a one-time machine, then mostly fragrance oil, plus minimal electricity. The Vaayu is made in India, ships with 400ml of oil, and covers up to 1000m3 (about 2000-3000 sq ft); very large or multi-floor spaces use the Angaan or Meenar. Exact running cost and any bulk or multi-location plan are confirmed on a quotation. Here is the full structure.

 Bulk & multi-location
|
On a quotation | Machine quantity, placement and monthly fragrance supply across several locations, planned and priced together | on a quote |
How to read this: the biggest number is a one-time machine (₹11,999), and it ships with 400ml of oil, so your first tank is included. After that the main recurring cost is fragrance oil, and because a 400ml fill lasts up to about 75 days (depending on the intensity setting and daily hours), refills are occasional. We do not publish a fixed monthly rupee figure because it genuinely depends on your intensity, hours, space and the refill size you choose - so the exact running cost, bulk machine pricing, refill cadence and any multi-location supply are confirmed on a quotation. There is no compulsory subscription or lock-in beyond buying the fragrance you use.

A note from Sonal
When a business asks me what commercial scenting really costs, I give them the honest shape of it rather than a headline number. There is a one-time machine - the Vaayu is ₹11,999 and it ships with 400ml of our oil, so the first tank is included. After that, the main recurring cost is simply the fragrance oil you use, and electricity is minimal.
The reason I will not quote a fixed monthly figure blindly is that it honestly depends on how you run it. A 400ml tank lasts up to about 75 days depending on the intensity you choose and how many hours a day it runs - a store on daytime hours at a moderate setting sips through it slowly, a high-intensity all-day setting uses more. That is exactly why we put it on a quotation: we look at your space, your hours and your locations, and the numbers are real rather than a guess.
For bulk orders and multi-location groups, we plan the machine quantity, placement and monthly fragrance supply together, so procurement can budget it properly with no surprises. Everything is made in India, and I would always rather you trial the fragrance first and buy what fits than sign up to something you have not smelled.
Frequently asked questions
How do I work out how many scent machines I need?
Plan roughly one Vaayu per open customer-facing zone up to 1000 cubic metres (about 2000 to 3000 sq ft). Count the zones in each location and add them across sites; very large floors step up to an Angaan or Meenar. SOSA confirms the quantity on a quotation.
How much area does one Vaayu cover?
One Vaayu covers up to 1000 cubic metres, which is about 2000 to 3000 sq ft. A single open zone within that size is usually one machine; a larger open floor uses an Angaan or Meenar rather than several Vaayu units.
What counts as a zone?
A customer-facing area that reads as one open space - a reception, a shop floor, a lounge or a display hall. Separate rooms and separate floors are separate zones. Plan roughly one Vaayu per zone up to about 2000 to 3000 sq ft.
When should I use a bigger machine instead of more Vaayu units?
When a single open floor is clearly larger than about 2000 to 3000 sq ft. One Angaan (about 8,000 to 10,000 sq ft) or Meenar (about 12,000 to 18,000 sq ft) covers a very big space more evenly than several Vaayu units fighting the volume.
Will SOSA help me finalise the quantity?
Yes - tell us your locations, zones and daily hours on a quotation. SOSA reviews the plan, confirms machine quantity and placement, and maps the fragrance supply across every site, rather than simply selling you a number of units.
