SOSA Home & Body
Three SOSA formats put fragrance in a cabin. What separates them is who decides how much, and when - you pressing a spray, a stopper set once, or three speeds and a timer
Situations this guide covers
Situation
Worked out that six short trips a day meant pressing a spray six times, and that was the whole reason to want a dial instead.
Relevant to: Safar, three speeds and a timer
Situation
Drives twice a week, enjoys the ritual of spraying, and was told plainly that Safar would be more device than the routine needs.
Relevant to: 10ml car perfume spray
Situation
Wanted the cabin right for clients without touching anything, and the timer turned out to be the feature that mattered.
Relevant to: Safar, 1/2/3-hour auto shut-off
Situation
Already had a hanging set exactly where it was wanted, and the honest answer was that there was nothing to upgrade from.
Relevant to: 12ml hanging car perfume
Situation
Shared car, two drivers who wanted different intensities, and a stopper that had to be reset every time was the actual problem.
Relevant to: Safar, light to intense
Situation
Asked whether an electric car needs a different diffuser and learned it does not - the nine-hour parking and the ninety-minute commute are what change the answer.

Founder Diaries · SOSA Safar & Choosing a Car Fragrance Format
What exactly should I count over the thirty days? Three things per journey: how many seats were occupied, whether the back row was one of them, and whether anybody wanted the level changed. A note on your phone is enough. Decide before you start what count would change your mind, so that you are reading the result and not arguing with it afterwards.
Does buying a bottle during the wait spoil the count? No. The count measures who is in the car, not what fragrance is in it. A bottle in the cabin does not change how many seats are occupied, and it adds a useful fourth observation: whether a setting you can already adjust, a stopper or a press, was ever the thing anybody asked to change.
Waiting is the right answer, and it is only right if it has a method. A decision postponed with nothing to learn in the meantime is just delay. This one has a very simple thing to learn. The five-seat or seven-seat configuration says what the car can carry, and what you need to know is what it does carry. So for thirty days, count: how many seats were occupied on each journey, whether the back row was one of them, and whether anybody, including you, wanted the level changed. Those three numbers decide whether one setting is enough. a 10ml spray or a 12ml hanging at ₹449 to ₹549 is the choice if you cannot bear a month without, since it costs little to be wrong about. Safar at ₹3,999 with 3 speeds and a timer is the purchase that should follow the count and not precede it.
Wait. Postponing is the right answer here, and it comes with a method: for thirty days, count how many seats are occupied and which rows are used. The configuration says what the car can carry. Use says what it does, and a purchase made before you know is a purchase made for a car you are imagining. Nothing is lost by waiting, because a 10ml spray or a 12ml hanging at ₹449 to ₹549 costs very little to be wrong about if you cannot bear a month without. ₹3,999 is the purchase that should wait for the count.
Quick answers — read this first
Should you postpone the decision until you know how many seats you use? Yes, and with a method: count occupied seats and rows used over thirty days. The configuration says what the car can carry, not what it does, and a purchase made before the count is made for a car you are imagining. Nothing is lost by waiting, and if you cannot wait, a 10ml spray or 12ml hanging at ₹449 to ₹549 costs very little to be wrong about.What exactly should I count over the thirty days?

The short answer
Short answer: Postponing is the right answer, with a method: for thirty days count how many seats are occupied, which rows are used and whether anybody wanted the level changed. The configuration says what the car can carry and use says what it does. Wait and see before buying Safar at Rs 3,999, and if you cannot wait, a 10ml spray at Rs 449 to Rs 549, published at 100 sprays, or a 12ml hanging at the same price costs very little to be wrong about.
The pick: Nothing yet, and a note on your phone for thirty days. If a month without is too long, a 10ml spray or a 12ml hanging at ₹449 to ₹549 costs very little to be wrong about and does not disturb the count.
Why: The seat configuration is a count of what the car can carry. The decision depends on how many seats are used and whether anybody disagrees, and that takes a month to learn for free.
In this guide
There is a real question underneath every version of this one, and it is not which product smells better. It is who you want deciding how strong the cabin is. A 10ml spray at ₹449 to ₹549 puts that in your hand, press by press, and holds 100 sprays. A 12ml hanging at the same price hands it to a stopper you set once, then runs 4 to 6 weeks. Safar at ₹3,999 gives you three speeds and a 1/2/3-hour timer on a cordless 2000 mAh battery, up to 10 hours continuous per charge. That is the difference you are paying nine times the price for - a dial, not a better fragrance. Which means the first honest question is whether you would ever turn the dial.

Straight answer
I have just taken delivery of the seven-seat version of the MG Hector Tomahawk EV and I do not yet know how many seats I will actually use, so should I postpone buying the Rs 3,999 diffuser until I do, or buy a Rs 449 bottle now?
Wait and see: postpone the Rs 3,999 decision for thirty days and count, and if you cannot go a month without, buy a Rs 449 bottle in the meantime. Postponing is only a good answer when something is learned during the wait, so start with what. The configuration is a fact about the car. It says how many seats there are. It does not say how many are used, and SOSA publishes no cabin-volume, coverage or scent-throw figure for any product, so the seat count cannot be turned into a quantity of fragrance in either direction. What it does give you is occupancy, which is a real variable: more people means more tolerances for one setting to satisfy, and an occupied back row is a seat the driver gets no signal from, because the driver is the worst-placed person in the car to judge level. All of that is something you can count. For thirty days, after each journey, note three things: how many seats were occupied, whether the back row was one of them, and whether anybody, including you, wanted the level changed. Decide before you start what result would change your mind, for instance how many journeys with an occupied back row would make a second setting worth having, so that you read the count and do not argue with it afterwards. Now what the count is for. Safar publishes 3 speed settings and a 1, 2 or 3-hour auto shut-off timer, cordless on a 2000 mAh battery for up to 10 hours continuous or 30 hours intermittent per charge. Those hour figures describe the battery, not how long the oil lasts, and the refill is ₹1,049 per 100 gm or ₹1,849 per 300 gm, with no interval published and none estimated here. What ₹3,999 buys is control and automation, not a better fragrance. That control is worth having if the count shows people who disagree or a level you keep wanting to move, and it is worth nothing if the count shows one regular occupant. Waiting costs almost nothing. If a month without is too long, a 10ml spray at ₹449 to ₹549, published at 100 sprays and three months and above at one spray a day, or a 12ml hanging at the same price, which runs 4 to 6 weeks on a stopper that loosens for stronger and tightens for subtler, costs very little to be wrong about, and neither disturbs the count, because the count measures who is in the car and not what is in the cabin. A bottle even adds a fourth observation: whether a setting you can already adjust was ever the thing anybody wanted changed. Nothing published predicts what any person will prefer, so the people who sit in the car are the only source, and the count is how you ask them without asking. If the thirty days show a car that is often full of people who disagree, you will be buying a device with a reason. If they show the same one or two people every journey, you will have kept Rs 3,999 and the bottle does the entire job. Fragrance adds a scent to a cabin and does not remove one, so find the source of any smell before judging anything. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
Wait thirty days and count occupied seats, rows used, and requests for a change. If you cannot wait, a Rs 449 bottle costs little to be wrong about. Rs 3,999 should follow the count.
The quick version: a 10ml spray at ₹449 to ₹549 when you want to decide journey by journey - it holds 100 sprays, which is three months and above at one a day. The 12ml hanging is the same price and runs 4 to 6 weeks on its own, with the stopper to adjust it. The 50ml at ₹1,499 is 500 sprays, once you know your rate.

The thirty-day count, and what it decides
What to count, what the count can decide, and why waiting costs almost nothing.
01
The count
Three things per journey, for thirty days
How many seats were occupied, whether the back row was one of them, and whether anybody wanted the level changed. A note on a phone is enough. At the end of the month you hold something the configuration cannot give you, which is what the car actually does.
Tip: The configuration says what the car can do. Use says what it does.
02
The threshold
Decide before you count what would change your mind
A count read afterwards can be bent to fit a wish. Write down, on day one, what result would make a second setting worth having, and what result would make it unnecessary. A back row that is occupied often, and a level somebody keeps asking to change, are the two things that move the answer.
03
The cost of waiting
Almost nothing, and a bottle covers the rest
A spray or hanging at Rs 449 to Rs 549 costs very little to be wrong about and does not disturb a count that measures who sits in the car. If a month without is too long, buy one and treat it as the first piece of evidence, not the last decision.
Tip: Waiting is cheap. Buying early is the expensive mistake.
What is published, and what is not
Safar’s whole spec sheet, in one place
Everything SOSA publishes about the device, and it is worth having in front of you before spending ₹3,999: a 20ml bottle; a 2000 mAh rechargeable battery charged over Type-C, cable in the box; up to 10 hours continuous or up to 30 hours intermittent diffusion per charge; 3 speed settings from light to intense; a 1, 2 or 3-hour auto shut-off timer; approximately 6.9 cm, which is cup-holder and handbag sized. It cold-diffuses pure oil with no water and no heating element, and it is aroma only - it does not humidify. Three fragrance oils come with it, set by the variant you choose. And here is what is not published, because it matters as much: no charge duration, no coverage area or room size, no warranty term, no battery-cycle life, and no oil-consumption rate at all. So the refill price is known - ₹1,049 per 100 gm - and how often you will need one is not something anybody can honestly tell you. The hour figures are the battery, not the oil.

Work it out in this order
Postponing with a method, in four steps
- Write down on day one what count would make a second setting worth having.
- For thirty days, note seats occupied, back row used or not, and any request to change.
- Cannot wait? A Rs 449 spray or hanging is cheap to be wrong about.
- At the end, compare the count with your threshold, then price a device or do not.
The SOSA principle
A purchase made before the count is made for a car you are imagining. The thirty days turn the configuration, which is a possibility, into occupancy, which is a fact.
The same count that tells you whether a dial is needed also tells you who to ask about the level, since a back-row passenger is the one the driver cannot read.
If you cannot wait, choose the scent now and the format later
If you cannot wait, choose the scent now and leave the format question to the count. Eight of the nine SOSA car scents come as a 10ml spray or a 12ml hanging at the same price per scent: Jasmine ₹449, Lavender and Sandalwood ₹479, Sandalwood ₹479, Icy Mint ₹489, Lemon ₹499, Oud, Vetiver and Sea Breeze ₹509, with Mysore Orange Blossom at ₹549 as a spray only. Nothing published ranks these by strength, and nothing predicts which one will suit the people who sit in your car. The Discovery Set publishes eight three-scent combinations from ₹699 to ₹899 if you want to find a scent by trying while you count.
The side-by-side
Four ways to treat the next thirty days, and where each one fails
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| A spray at ₹449 to ₹549 | 100 sprays per 10ml bottle. A cheap way to have something in the cabin while you count, and the press is a setting you can already adjust. It fails only the owner who would rather not press. |
| A hanging at the same price | A stopper set once, 4 to 6 weeks per bottle. Also cheap to be wrong about, and it costs nothing in attention during the count. It fails where the level would have to change while the car is moving. |
| Safar at ₹3,999, today | 3 speeds and a 1, 2 or 3-hour auto shut-off. It fails an owner who has not yet counted, because every feature on it acts on a difference you have not yet observed. Buy it after the count if the count calls for it. |
| Buying before you know your occupancy | The trap. A purchase for a car you are imagining is a bet on how many seats will be used and whether anybody will disagree, and a month of counting settles both for nothing. |
The comparison that settles it
Nine times the price buys a dial, not a better scent
Set the three SOSA formats side by side on the only axis that separates them. The 10ml spray is ₹449 to ₹549 and holds 100 sprays - three months and above at one a day, fifty days at two - and it does nothing until you press it. The 12ml hanging is the same price for the same scent, runs 4 to 6 weeks of continuous diffusion in refillable glass, and its stopper is the strength control, loosened for more or tightened for less. Safar is ₹3,999 and gives you three speeds and a 1/2/3-hour timer. That is roughly nine sprays’ worth of money, and what it adds is the ability to change your mind halfway through a journey without wasting anything. For somebody making six short trips a day, or sharing a car with another driver who wants it softer, that is worth real money. For somebody who drives twice a week and rather likes pressing a spray, it is a dial that will sit on one setting forever - and then ₹449 was the correct answer all along.
Compare the car range from ₹449 →
Make the count something you will actually do. Put a note on the phone with three columns, and fill it in at the end of each drive, not at the end of the week. The back row is the one people forget to record because it is the one the driver cannot see, so write a line for it even when it is empty. At the end of thirty days, add up the journeys with an occupied back row and the number of times anybody wanted a change, and compare both with the threshold you wrote on day one.

One message, one honest recommendation
Tell SOSA how many hours a day somebody is actually sitting in the car, where it is parked and for how long, whether the windows are usually open or shut, and who else drives it - and you will be told which format and how much, including the times the honest answer is the hanging at the same price because you would rather not think about it.
Waiting is the right answer when there is something to learn. Here the thing to learn is how many seats are used, and it takes a month and costs nothing.

The SOSA car fragrance range
Two questions settle almost every car fragrance decision. First: is the cabin smelling of nothing in particular, or is it smelling of something? If it is smelling of something, that is the question to answer first, because a perfume adds a scent and does not remove one - and the mats, the boot carpet and the air-conditioning come before any bottle. Second, once the cabin is neutral: how many hours a day is somebody actually sitting in it? A 25 km commute is about an hour; a field job can be four. That number decides how much of what you buy is experienced by anybody at all, because the rest of the day is a sealed cabin in a parking bay. Then: do you want fragrance you switch on, or fragrance that simply runs? The 10ml spray holds 100 sprays and does nothing until you press it; the 12ml hanging runs 4 to 6 weeks whether anybody is there or not, and its stopper loosens for stronger or tightens for subtler. They cost the same for the same scent, so price does not decide it - which is unusual, and useful.
The SOSA car range, sorted by how much it asks of you day to day
Start from how the car is used, not from what the product costs
| Product | What it is | What it is for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOSA car perfume spray - 10ml | You decide, press by press | ₹449 to ₹549 across nine scents. Published at 100 sprays - 3 months and above at one a day, 50 days at two. No battery, nothing to charge, nothing to set. It does nothing at all until you press it, which for a lot of people is exactly the point | from ₹449 |
| SOSA car hanging - 12ml | Decided once, by a stopper | The same price as the spray, scent for scent. Published at 4 to 6 weeks of continuous diffusion in refillable glass. The stopper is the control - loosen for stronger, tighten for subtler, and published advice is to start tighter and open gradually. Set it and it runs | from ₹449 |
| SOSA Safar - waterless diffuser | Three speeds and a timer | ₹3,999, or ₹4,499 for the hotel-inspired sets. Cold-diffuses pure oil, no water and no heating element. 3 speed settings and a 1/2/3-hour auto shut-off timer, cordless on a 2000 mAh battery for up to 10 hours continuous or 30 hours intermittent per charge, Type-C. Approx 6.9 cm, cup-holder sized. Aroma only - it does not humidify. Three oils come with it, set by the variant | ₹3,999 |
| Waterless Nebuliser Refill | What Safar runs on afterwards | ₹1,049 per 100 gm, ₹1,849 per 300 gm - the published refill for Safar and Vaayu, in Vetiver, Neelakurinji, Malabar Lemon, Sage & Cedar, Mahogany and Japanese Cherry Blossom. The price is published; how long one lasts is not, because SOSA publishes no consumption rate at all | from ₹1,049 |
| Car perfume combos | Two scents, one purchase | ₹899 for Jasmine & Lemon or Jasmine & Lavender; ₹949 for Oud + Lemon or Sandalwood & Oud. Spray combo (2 x 10ml) or hanging combo (2 x 12ml) at the same price, and each also as 50ml x 2 at ₹2,999. Four published pairs | from ₹899 |
| Car Perfume Sprays Discovery Set | Three to try first | ₹699 to ₹899 for three sprays, or ₹2,999 for all nine. Eight published trios plus the pack of nine, and that is the whole range - none is composed to order. The sensible way to find a scent before committing to any device | from ₹699 |
| Hanging refills - 15ml | Only the hanging refills | ₹399 to ₹449 across eight scents. There is no spray refill, and Orange Blossom has no refill at all | from ₹399 |
Read the table as a ladder of control, not a ladder of quality. A 10ml spray is 100 sprays and is decided by you every time; a 12ml hanging runs 4 to 6 weeks and is decided once by its stopper; Safar at ₹3,999 has 3 speeds and a 1/2/3-hour timer and can be turned down mid-journey. Spray and hanging are the same price scent for scent, so between those two the choice is purely about how you want to use the car. Safar is a different kind of purchase: it costs roughly nine times a spray and what it adds is a dial and an off-switch on a schedule, running cordless on a 2000 mAh battery for up to 10 hours continuous or 30 hours intermittent per charge. It is aroma only and does not humidify. Its published refill is ₹1,049 per 100 gm; the interval between refills is not published and cannot honestly be estimated. Safar is imported from China and marketed by SOSA in Pune; the car perfume range is made in India. Fragrance adds a scent to a cabin; it does not remove, neutralise, mask or purify an odour - so a car that has developed a smell is a question about the car at any price point. Prices above are published retail prices; bulk orders are welcome and custom label or logo on product is available, with quantities settled on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531. SOSA is an Indian fragrance house based in Pune, sending orders across India. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
The honest spec sheet
What SOSA publishes about Safar, and what it does not
Everything below is on the live product record. Anything not on this list is not something a page like this should state.
- What it is - a waterless, cordless, rechargeable cold-diffusion perfume diffuser that breaks pure fragrance oil into a dry aroma with no water and no heating element. Aroma only - it does not humidify. ₹3,999, or ₹4,499 for the hotel-inspired sets.
- The published spec, in full - a 20ml bottle; a 2000 mAh rechargeable lithium battery on Type-C charging with the cable included; up to 10 hours continuous or up to 30 hours intermittent diffusion per charge; 3 speed settings from light to intense; a 1, 2 or 3-hour auto shut-off timer; approximately 6.9 cm. The box holds the diffuser, the bottle, the cable and a manual, and the variant you choose sets the three fragrance oils supplied with it.
- Running cost - the published refill is the Waterless Nebuliser Refill at ₹1,049 per 100 gm or ₹1,849 per 300 gm, in Vetiver, Neelakurinji, Malabar Lemon, Sage & Cedar, Mahogany and Japanese Cherry Blossom.
- The two formats it is being compared against - a 10ml spray at ₹449 to ₹549, published at 100 sprays, three months and above at one a day; and a 12ml hanging at the same price, published at 4 to 6 weeks, whose stopper is its strength control. Both have no battery and nothing to charge.
- Placement - published guidance is to keep Safar in a cup-holder or door pocket and not to leave it in direct sun on a closed dashboard. Cold diffusion means cabin heat does not cook the oil.
- Origin - country of origin China, imported and marketed by SOSA Home & Body, Pune. The SOSA car perfume range is made in India; Safar is not, and that is worth stating plainly rather than blurring.
- Not published, and therefore never stated here: any charge duration; any coverage area, room size, scent-throw or projection figure; any warranty term; any battery-cycle life; any oil-consumption rate - the 10-hour and 30-hour figures are the battery, not the oil, so the refill price is published and the interval is not; any fitment, cup-holder dimension, testing or compatibility claim for any car model, in either direction; any difference between a petrol, diesel or electric car; and any health effect in either direction. Those go to WhatsApp +91 96192 18531.
Not sure whether ₹3,999 is the right spend or nine times too much? That is the only question worth asking here, and it takes one message. Tell SOSA on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 four things: how many separate journeys you make in a day, how long each one lasts, whether anybody else drives the car, and whether you would actually change the setting if you had one. You will get a straight answer rather than a catalogue - including the times the answer is "the ₹449 spray does everything you have described, keep your money." What is not on this page, because SOSA does not publish it: any charge duration for Safar; any coverage area, room size or scent-throw figure; any warranty term; any battery-cycle life; any oil-consumption rate, so the refill price is published and the refill interval is not; and anything whatsoever about any car model - no fitment, no cup-holder dimension, no testing. What is: a 20ml bottle, a 2000 mAh Type-C battery, up to 10 hours continuous or 30 hours intermittent per charge, 3 speeds, a 1/2/3-hour auto shut-off timer, approximately 6.9 cm, three oils set by the variant, and ₹1,049 per 100 gm to refill. It is aroma only and does not humidify, it is imported from China and marketed by SOSA in Pune, and the published advice is to keep it in a cup-holder or door pocket rather than in direct sun on a closed dashboard. On presentation: custom label or logo on product is the one branding option. 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
I will tell you the thing a brand is not supposed to say about its own most expensive car product. Safar does not smell better than our ₹449 spray. It is the same kind of fragrance oil going into the same kind of closed cabin. What ₹3,999 buys you is three speeds and a timer - the ability to turn it down when your mother-in-law gets in, and to have it shut itself off after an hour because you forgot about it. That is a real thing to want. It is not a better scent.
So when somebody messages asking whether to buy it, I ask two questions. How many separate journeys do you make in a day, and does anybody else drive the car? Six short trips means pressing a spray six times, and a dial starts to look sensible. Two people who want different intensities means a stopper being reset twice a day, and a dial looks even better. But if you drive twice a week and you quite like the small ritual of spraying before you set off, I would rather you kept your money. We sell a ₹449 product that does that job completely.
The other thing I want to be straight about: the hour figures on Safar are the battery, not the oil. Ten hours continuous, thirty intermittent, per charge. How long the oil itself lasts depends on which of the three speeds you use and how many hours it actually runs, and we do not publish a figure for it, so nobody should be telling you one. A refill is ₹1,049 for 100 gm. How often you buy one, I honestly cannot say.
And the part that has nothing to do with price: a perfume adds a scent and does not remove one. If somebody has eaten in the car, or there is something damp in the boot, turning Safar up to its third speed gives you two smells instead of one. Deal with the thing itself first. No setting on any device is a substitute for opening the doors.
Frequently asked questions
Should I wait to buy until I know how many seats I use?
Yes, with a method. For thirty days count how many seats are occupied, whether the back row is used and whether anybody wanted the level changed. The configuration says what the car can carry, and use says what it does. If you cannot wait, a Rs 449 spray or hanging costs very little to be wrong about, and Rs 3,999 should follow the count.
Does a seven-seat car need a different fragrance decision from a five-seat one?
That cannot be answered from anything published, because SOSA publishes no cabin-volume, coverage or scent-throw figure for any product. What the configuration changes is occupancy: how many people one setting has to satisfy, and whether anybody sits where the driver cannot judge the level. That is what the thirty-day count measures.
What result would justify Safar at Rs 3,999?
A car that is often full of people who disagree about level, or a level you keep wanting to move within a journey. Safar offers 3 speeds and a 1, 2 or 3-hour auto shut-off timer, which act on exactly that. If the count shows the same one or two people on most journeys, nothing in it does any work and the bottle does the entire job.
What if the count shows the back row is rarely used?
Then a person getting in later is the unusual case and not the rule, and one setting is probably enough. That is a result worth having, because it saves Rs 3,999 on evidence. Somebody getting in later may still notice what you have stopped noticing, so ask them when it happens.
Will a Rs 449 bottle during the month hide a smell I should deal with?
No fragrance removes a smell. A fragrance adds a scent to a cabin and does not remove, neutralise, mask or purify one, so use the month to find the source: check the mats and the boot carpet are dry, look under the seats and air the car while it is parked in shade.
Take the next step
Decide whether you want a dial. Then buy accordingly
Buy the 10ml spray at ₹449 to ₹549 if you like deciding journey by journey - 100 sprays, three months and more at one a day. Buy the 12ml hanging at the same price if you would rather set a stopper once and never think about it again - 4 to 6 weeks per bottle. Buy Safar at ₹3,999 only if you will genuinely use what it adds: three speeds and a 1/2/3-hour timer, cordless on a 2000 mAh battery, up to 10 hours continuous per charge, with three oils in the box and ₹1,049 refills after that. If the honest answer is that you would leave it on one setting, the cheaper product is not a compromise - it is the right purchase. Tell SOSA on WhatsApp how many separate journeys you make in a day, how long each one is, and who else drives the car.
Not sure whether this is a fragrance question or a cleaning one? Tell SOSA on WhatsApp whether the cabin smelled fine before and has changed, where the car is parked and for how long, and how long anybody is actually sitting in it. You will get one straight answer - including the times that answer is to dry the car out and buy nothing this week.
Car fragrance chosen from how the car is used, not from what it runs on
SOSA — alcohol-free car perfumes, nine scents, spray or hanging at the same price from ₹449; a 10ml spray is 100 sprays and a 12ml hanging runs 4 to 6 weeks
Tell SOSA on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 what your thirty-day count showed - seats occupied, rows used and any request for a change - and you will get one scent and one format, including the times it is "a ₹449 bottle is the right buy and the device is money better unspent." A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.

About this guide: Written by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles-trained founder and perfumer at SOSA Home & Body. Product details reflect the SOSA range; the reasoning about journey length, occupancy, parking and control applies to any brand.Trademark notice: MG, Hector and Tomahawk are trademarks of their respective owner, used in India by JSW MG Motor India. SOSA Home & Body is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to MG Motor or JSW MG Motor India, and publishes no vehicle-specific fitment or compatibility claim for any car model. Where a model is named on this page it is the wording of the question being answered, and nothing about the product is derived from it.
SOSA Safar, verified from the live product record on 4 October 2026: a waterless, cordless, rechargeable cold-diffusion perfume diffuser that cold-diffuses pure fragrance oil with no water and no heating element. Aroma only - it scents the air and explicitly does not humidify it. Published specification: a 20ml bottle; a 2000 mAh rechargeable lithium battery charged over Type-C with the cable included; up to 10 hours continuous or up to 30 hours intermittent diffusion per charge; 3 speed settings from light to intense; a 1, 2 or 3-hour auto shut-off timer; approximately 6.9 cm, sized for a cup-holder or a handbag. The box holds the diffuser, the 20ml bottle, a Type-C cable and a user manual, and the variant selected determines the three fragrance oils supplied with it. ₹3,999, or ₹4,499 for the hotel-inspired sets. The published refill is the Waterless Nebuliser Refill at ₹1,049 per 100 gm or ₹1,849 per 300 gm. Published placement guidance is to keep it in a cup-holder or door pocket and not to leave it in direct sun on a closed dashboard. Country of origin China, imported and marketed by SOSA Home & Body, Pune - Safar is not made in India, unlike the SOSA car perfume range. Not published about Safar, and therefore not stated here: any charge duration; any coverage area, room size or scent-throw figure; any warranty term; any battery-cycle life; and any oil-consumption rate - the 10-hour and 30-hour figures describe the battery, not how long the oil lasts, so the price of a refill is published and the interval between refills is not.
The SOSA car perfume range, verified 1 October 2026: SOSA publishes nine car perfume scents. Eight are sold in two formats at the same price per scent - a 10ml spray and a 12ml hanging: Jasmine ₹449; Lavender and Sandalwood ₹479; Icy Mint ₹489; Lemon ₹499; Oud, Vetiver and Sea Breeze ₹509. Mysore Orange Blossom is spray only, ₹549 in 10ml. A 50ml spray is ₹1,499. The published quantities are: 10ml equals 100 sprays, stated as three months and above at one spray a day and fifty days at two a day; 50ml equals 500 sprays, stated as about a year and more; a spray combo is 200 sprays; and a 12ml hanging runs 4 to 6 weeks, that is 28 to 42 days, of continuous diffusion in a refillable glass bottle whose stopper loosens for stronger and tightens for subtler. Four combos are published - Jasmine & Lemon and Jasmine & Lavender at ₹899, Oud + Lemon and Sandalwood & Oud at ₹949 - each as a spray combo of 2 x 10ml or a hanging combo of 2 x 12ml at the same price, and each also in a 50ml x 2 variant at ₹2,999. The Car Perfume Sprays Discovery Set publishes eight three-scent combinations from ₹699 to ₹899 plus a pack of all nine at ₹2,999; those are the entire set range and none is composed to order. Hanging refills are 15ml at ₹399 to ₹449 across eight scents; there is no spray refill and Orange Blossom has no refill. Everything is alcohol-free, phthalate-free, paraben-free and IFRA-compliant, formulated for 45 degrees C heat and 85 per cent relative humidity, made in India. The published placement guidance is to hang from the rear-view mirror or a well-ventilated position and to keep it off leather, fabric and the dashboard. SOSA's published note on the hanging states that exact longevity depends on cabin temperature, stopper setting and how often the car is driven; that statement is about how long a bottle lasts and is not extended here into any claim about scent-throw or intensity. SOSA Safar is ₹3,999, or ₹4,499 for the hotel-inspired sets. What is not published, and is therefore not stated here: any cabin-volume, cabin-size, coverage, scent-throw, projection or evaporation figure, and consequently nothing about how one body of car compares with another - no claim that a larger cabin needs more fragrance, and no claim that it needs the same, because SOSA publishes neither and makes no body-type-specific product; any air-exchange or ventilation rate; any rate, timescale or physiological account of how perception changes across a journey; any seasonal performance claim beyond the stated formulation for heat and humidity; any difference between petrol, diesel and electric vehicles; any shelf life, expiry or concentration; and any bulk rate, minimum quantity, price break or lead time. Limits of this guide: fragrance adds a scent to a cabin. It does not remove, neutralise, mask, eliminate or purify an odour, it does not clean or treat the air, and a car that has developed a new smell is a question about the vehicle rather than about perfume. Where this guide discusses moisture, footwear, food or air-conditioning as the source of a cabin smell, that is general practical reasoning about cars and not a claim about any SOSA product. No health claim is made anywhere on this page, in either direction - nothing here states or implies that any fragrance causes or prevents a headache, nausea, motion sickness or any other effect, and nothing is said about safety in pregnancy or for children or the elderly, because SOSA publishes no information this page can rely on. No third-party brand is named and no competitor or category of competing product is characterised. No rating, review count, strength percentage or customer name from any product page is cited. Bulk orders are welcome and custom label or logo on product is available; that is the only branding option, and quantities are settled on WhatsApp. 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.
