Founder Diaries · Attars, Fragrance Discovery & Buying for Known Taste
Are the three chosen to suit him? No, and it is better that way than the alternative. The SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed combination - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - with all three bottles in the size you select. Nobody puts it together around a recipient. Adaa, the lightest of the four attars, is not in it and is bought on its own from ₹379.
What do the three sizes cost? ₹1,055 for 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 for 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 for 3 x 12ml. The same three bottles bought one at a time are ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543, a difference of ₹118, ₹204 and ₹354 - ten per cent at every tier. All three attars come in the same size in any tier you choose.

Notice what you have actually described. Your brother is not somebody with weak opinions about fragrance - he is somebody with a replacement habit. One bottle is open, it runs down, and when it runs out he buys another. Under that pattern he has never once had two fragrances available on the same morning, which means he has never had the one thing a collection gives you: a choice at the point of getting dressed. So the real question behind the birthday is not big bottle or small bottles. It is whether the gift adds to the supply he already manages perfectly well, or adds something he has never had.
The set most of these questions arrive at, and the one fact most of them get wrong: it is a fixed combination. The SOSA Attar Trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 in 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 in 3 x 12ml, against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 bought singly. All three bottles come in the size you pick, Adaa is not in it, and nobody chooses the three. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle.
Quick answers — read this first
For a birthday, are three small fragrances better than one expensive bottle? They answer different questions. One large bottle is supply; three small ones are a comparison. The SOSA Attar Trio is ₹1,055 for three 3ml bottles - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - against ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 for a single 12ml attar. Each 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab, so three of them is three fragrances to live with rather than three to sniff.Are the three chosen to suit him?

The short answer
Short answer: One 12ml attar is Rs 1,149 to Rs 1,199 and buys depth in a single direction. The SOSA Attar Trio is Rs 1,055 for three 3ml bottles - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, a fixed set - and buys three directions at roughly 60 wears each. For somebody who has only ever owned one fragrance at a time, the second thing is the one he has never had.
The pick: The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 for a first birthday gift of fragrance - three bottles open at once is the thing a replacement habit never produces.
Why: A person who buys a fragrance only when the last one finishes has plenty of supply and no comparison. Three bottles at roughly 60 wears each is the comparison, at a price below one 12ml attar.
In this guide
Knowing somebody's signature fragrance is more information than most gift buyers have, and it still does not answer the question, because the next bottle is not the same bottle. What three small attars buy you is evidence rather than a guess - three things to put on skin over a week. What the published trio is not is a set you assemble: it is one fixed combination of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, in whichever single size you choose. And no page can tell you what anybody will make of any of them.

Straight answer
My brother only buys another bottle when his current perfume finishes and has never built a fragrance collection - could three smaller fragrances be a better birthday gift than one expensive bottle?
Probably, and the reason is about his habit rather than his taste. A replacement buyer is never under-supplied - there is always something on the shelf, and the next purchase is triggered by a bottle running out rather than by curiosity. What that pattern has never given him is two open bottles and a reason to pick one. The SOSA Attar Trio is ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 in 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 in 3 x 12ml, against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 for the same bottles bought singly. It holds Ameeri - Taif rose, Persian saffron, Indian sandalwood, a soft oudh and amber; Nawaab - white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, published as the deepest of the four; and Mastani - night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown developing after the first thirty minutes, and a 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab. The limits, plainly. The trio is fixed - nobody assembles it around a person, every bottle in it comes in one size, and Adaa is not in it. All three are evening compositions, so if what he needs is a daytime bottle, Adaa is the published answer at ₹379 and it is a separate line on the order. And no page here can tell you which of the three he will use most, because that is not something SOSA has any information about. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
He has never been short of perfume. He has never had two bottles open at once either.
The quick version: the 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when the point is to give them three things to wear and find out, 3 x 6ml at ₹1,859 or 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 when you expect all three to be used, a single 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 when you already know the direction. Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani every time - Adaa is sold separately from ₹379.
The SOSA Attar Trio from ₹1,055
Three things to weigh, starting with a habit rather than a taste
Most birthday-gift advice for fragrance assumes you are guessing at a taste. You are not guessing - you are deciding between supply and variety, and the three things below are what actually settle that.
01
The habit, not the taste
A replacement buyer has never had a second bottle open
Somebody who buys the next bottle only when the current one finishes has a purchase pattern rather than a preference pattern. Each new bottle is bought under mild pressure, in a shop, to replace something that has run out - which is not the state anybody is in when they discover something. The consequence is specific and it is the thing to design the gift around: he has never got dressed with a choice in front of him. A second bottle would be new to him. Three at once would be genuinely unlike anything the habit has ever produced.
Tip: A bottle running out is a deadline. Nobody discovers anything against a deadline.
02
The arithmetic
Three 3ml bottles cost less than one 12ml
This is unusually clean for a gifting decision, because both options are published. A single 12ml attar is ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 depending which of the four you take, and it is the largest size SOSA publishes. The trio at 3 x 3ml is ₹1,055 and it is three different compositions. So the choice is not really about money at this end of the range - the two land within about a hundred rupees of each other. It is about whether the birthday adds twelve millilitres of one thing or nine millilitres across three, and only the second of those is something his own buying pattern will never produce on its own.
03
Whether small is too small
Roughly sixty wears is the number that settles it
The objection to small bottles as a gift is that they look like samples. The published figure kills that objection: a 3ml is roughly 60 wears at one dab. That is enough to wear a fragrance to work on an ordinary Tuesday, notice what happens to it after the first thirty minutes, and form a view that is not a shop-counter reaction. Three of those at ₹1,055 is three real trials, in a single gift-ready box. If you would rather the birthday be supply - three bottles he is expected to finish rather than assess - the ₹1,859 and ₹3,189 tiers are the same three attars in 6ml and 12ml. SOSA publishes no wear figure for those sizes, so nothing here scales the sixty.
Tip: A sample is something you smell once. Sixty wears is something you live with.
The bottle the trio does not contain
Adaa, and why it matters to half these questions
SOSA publishes four attars. Three of them are in the trio and one is not. Adaa - bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac and white musk - is published as the lightest of the four and a daytime attar, and it is sold on its own at ₹379 in 3ml, ₹669 in 6ml and ₹1,149 in 12ml. That matters because the trio page itself lists a reason not to buy the trio: it is an evening set of depth, warmth and floral, and somebody who wears bright, light, citrus-led fragrance is not the buyer for it. If what you know about their taste is that it is fresh, the honest route is Adaa rather than the box - and if you want Adaa alongside two others, that is three individual bottles at full price, because the trio cannot be recomposed.
See Adaa from ₹379 →
Work it out in this order
Decide it in this order rather than by price
- Ask what he is short of. It is not perfume, so do not buy more perfume.
- Pick the job: supply in one direction, or a comparison across three.
- Check the register. All three in the box are evening compositions.
- Then size it. Rs 1,055 is the comparison, Rs 3,189 is the supply.
The SOSA principle
The gift is not a better bottle than the one he would have bought. It is the first time he has not had to choose one blind.
And at this end of the range, three small bottles and one large one cost about the same.
What is in the box, and the fourth bottle that sits outside it
Three compositions, and they are not three variations on one theme. Ameeri is the warm and festive one - Taif rose and Persian saffron over Indian sandalwood, a soft oudh beneath and amber in the base. Nawaab is the deepest of the four as SOSA publishes it: white royal oud led, dry and woody, with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf. Mastani is the floral one, though floral with weight under it - night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka. Oudh is published in all three and sits in a different position in each, which is worth knowing: the variety in this box is in how the depth is arranged, not in whether there is any.
The SOSA gift edit
The four things that genuinely compete for this birthday budget
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| One 12ml attar at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 | The largest published size of a single composition, and the option closest to how he already buys. It extends the habit rather than interrupting it, and it commits the whole budget to one direction. |
| The trio, 3 x 3ml at ₹1,055 | Three fixed compositions at roughly 60 wears each, in one gift-ready box, for slightly less than a single 12ml. The honest limits: the three cannot be swapped, and all three are evening compositions. |
| The trio, 3 x 6ml at ₹1,859 | The middle tier, and the one to take when the intention is that all three get used up rather than compared. Twice the volume of the 3 x 3ml, though SOSA publishes no wear figure for a 6ml at all. |
| A 15g solid body perfume from ₹459 | Also worn on skin and the smallest worn-fragrance spend in the range, so it works as an add-on rather than a birthday gift on its own. Be aware that SOSA publishes no wear figure for the solid perfumes. |
What the three sizes actually buy you
3ml, 6ml or 12ml - and roughly sixty wears in the smallest
All three trio tiers contain the same three attars; the only variable is how much of each. ₹1,055 buys 3 x 3ml, and the published figure for a 3ml is roughly 60 wears at one dab - which is the number that makes a discovery gift a real one rather than a set of samples, because it is enough to wear a scent on an ordinary Tuesday and not just sniff it in a shop. ₹1,859 buys 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 buys 3 x 12ml, the largest published size of each. Against the same bottles bought singly those are savings of ₹118, ₹204 and ₹354. The trio ships with all three bottles in the same size - there is no mixed-size set, and SOSA states that mixing sizes means buying the three individually and losing the trio price.
See the SOSA Attar Trio from ₹1,055 →
The format is worth explaining to somebody who has only ever used sprays, because it changes how the gift is used on day one. These are concentrated oil attars with a built-in dab applicator - the published instruction is to dab on pulse points and not to rub, which is the opposite of what most people do by reflex. They are alcohol-free and DPG-free, carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, IFRA-compliant, skin-safe and heat-stable to 45 degrees C, hand-blended in small batches in Pune. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin rather than straight onto a shirt. All three trio bottles come in a single gift-ready box; beyond that, custom label or logo on product is the only branding SOSA offers.
₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 in 3 x 6ml, ₹3,189 in 3 x 12ml. Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - the same three every time, all in the size you pick, in one gift-ready box.
from ₹1,055
₹379, ₹669 and ₹1,149. Bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, white musk. The lightest of the four and the one the trio does not contain - the honest answer whenever the question is a fresh or daytime one.
from ₹379
₹1,149 to ₹1,199 for a single 12ml. The alternative to the trio when you already know the direction and the useful thing is depth in one bottle rather than breadth across three.
from ₹1,149
One message, one honest recommendation
Tell SOSA what they already wear, anything they have said they dislike, whether this is a first attar or an addition, and what you want to spend - and you will be told which size and which bottles, including the times the honest answer is Adaa on its own from ₹379 rather than the trio.
A replacement habit produces a full shelf and no choice. The useful gift is the one the habit was never going to buy.
— Sonal Sahani, SOSA
The SOSA gifting range
Two questions settle almost every attar gift where you already know what they wear, and the first one is not price. Are you buying breadth or depth? Breadth means three bottles to put on skin over a week, which is what the published trio is for; depth means one 12ml in a direction you are already confident about. Then: does what you know about their taste sit inside what the trio actually contains? The trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - warm rose and saffron, white royal oud, and night-jasmine with Damask rose. It has no light, fresh or citrus-led bottle in it, because Adaa is the lightest of the four and is sold separately from ₹379. Price follows those two answers rather than leading them.
The SOSA range, sorted by how much it asks of the person receiving it
Start from what the gift demands, not from what it costs
| Product | What it is | What it is for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOSA Attar Trio - 3 x 3ml | Three to smell, not one to guess | ₹1,055 for Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani in 3ml each, against ₹1,173 bought singly. The published figure for a 3ml is roughly 60 wears at one dab - enough to actually live with a scent rather than sniff it | ₹1,055 |
| SOSA Attar Trio - 3 x 6ml | The middle size | ₹1,859 against ₹2,063 bought singly. The same three attars; the trio ships with all three bottles in the same size | ₹1,859 |
| SOSA Attar Trio - 3 x 12ml | Three full bottles | ₹3,189 against ₹3,543 bought singly. The largest published size of each, in one gift-ready box | ₹3,189 |
| Adaa - 3ml, 6ml, 12ml | The lightest in the range | ₹379, ₹669 and ₹1,149. Bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac and white musk. Adaa is not in the trio - SOSA publishes it as the daytime attar and sells it separately | from ₹379 |
| Ameeri - 3ml, 6ml, 12ml | Warm, rose and saffron led | ₹385, ₹679 and ₹1,165. Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, Persian saffron, a measured oudh and amber | from ₹385 |
| Mastani - 3ml, 6ml, 12ml | Floral depth | ₹389, ₹685 and ₹1,179. Night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka | from ₹389 |
| Nawaab - 3ml, 6ml, 12ml | The deepest in the range | ₹399, ₹699 and ₹1,199. White royal oud led, with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf. SOSA publishes this as the deepest of the four | from ₹399 |
| SOSA solid body perfumes - 15g | Worn, and smaller still | ₹459 to ₹549. The other worn format in the range. No wear-time figure is published for these, so this page does not give one | from ₹459 |
| SOSA reed diffusers | A room, not a person | From ₹749 in 50ml. Listed here only to rule it out: a reed diffuser scents a room and an attar is worn. They are not substitutes, and a fragrance-taste question is not answered by a bottle that sits on a shelf | from ₹749 |
The single most useful fact on this page: the published Attar Trio is one fixed combination. It is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, every time, and all three bottles ship in the size you select. Adaa cannot be substituted into it, and there is no mixed-size trio - SOSA's own page says that if you want a different three, or three different sizes, you buy the bottles individually and the trio discount does not apply. Published across all five pages: 6 to 8 hours of wear per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, a built-in dab applicator (dab on pulse points, do not rub), a carrier of Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, and alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant formulations hand-blended in small batches in Pune. A 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin rather than on fabric. Prices above are the published selling 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 the SOSA attar pages publish, and what they do not
Everything below is on the live product pages. Anything not on this list is not something a page like this should state.
- The four attars and their prices - Adaa, bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac and white musk, ₹379 / ₹669 / ₹1,149; Ameeri, Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, Persian saffron, soft oudh and amber, ₹385 / ₹679 / ₹1,165; Mastani, night-blooming jasmine, Damask rose, Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka, ₹389 / ₹685 / ₹1,179; Nawaab, white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, ₹399 / ₹699 / ₹1,199. In 3ml, 6ml and 12ml. Those four are the entire attar range.
- The trio - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani at ₹1,055, ₹1,859 and ₹3,189 for 3 x 3ml, 3 x 6ml and 3 x 12ml, against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 bought singly. It is one fixed combination, all three bottles in the same size, and Adaa is not in it. A different three, or mixed sizes, means buying individually at full price.
- Wear - 6 to 8 hours on skin per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown developing after the first 30 minutes. A 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab. That is the only quantity figure SOSA gives for an attar.
- The format - a concentrated oil attar with a built-in dab applicator; dab on pulse points and do not rub. Carrier of Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba. Alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant, skin-safe, heat-stable to 45 degrees C, hand-blended in small batches in Pune by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles trained. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin rather than fabric.
- Relative depth, in SOSA's own words - Adaa is published as the lightest of the four and Nawaab as the deepest, with Ameeri and Mastani between them. That ordering is published; no number from any product page is quoted here, and no claim is made about how any of them behaves on a particular person.
- Not published, and therefore never stated here: any sillage, projection or room-distance figure; any shelf life, expiry, concentration or oil percentage; any seasonal or skin-chemistry claim beyond "longer on warm or oily skin"; any bulk rate, minimum quantity, price break or lead time; any presentation beyond the trio's single gift-ready box and a custom label or logo on product; and anything whatsoever about what a recipient will like or how a gift will be received. Those go to WhatsApp +91 96192 18531.
Know what they wear and not what to buy next? Tell SOSA on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 four things: the fragrance they already own and wear, anything they have said they dislike, whether this is a first attar or an addition to a collection, and roughly what you want to spend. You will get one straight answer rather than a catalogue - including the cases where the honest answer is a single 3ml at ₹379 to ₹399 rather than the trio, or Adaa on its own because the trio is published as an evening set. What is not on this page, because SOSA does not publish it: any sillage, projection or room-distance figure; any shelf life, expiry or concentration; any claim about how an attar behaves on a particular person; any bulk rate, minimum quantity or lead time; and anything at all about what a recipient will think. What is: 6 to 8 hours of wear per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, a drydown that develops after the first 30 minutes, roughly 60 wears in a 3ml at one dab, a built-in dab applicator, a carrier of Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, and alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant formulations made in India. On presentation: the trio's three bottles ship in a single gift-ready box, which is published; beyond that, custom label or logo on product is the one branding option, and there is no custom box, printed sleeve or insert card. 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 message we get most often on WhatsApp is not what should I buy. It is a more specific and more interesting problem: I know exactly what she wears. I have known for years. I just cannot buy it again. That person is not short of information. They are short of a next step, which is a different thing entirely, and almost nothing written about fragrance gifting treats it as different.
Here is the part I would want them to hold on to. Knowing somebody's signature tells you where they started, not where they would go. A person who has worn one bottle for a decade has usually not rejected the alternatives - they have never had three of them on their own skin at the same time. So the useful gift is not a better guess at one bottle. It is evidence: several things to wear, on separate days, and the chance to notice which one they reach for without being asked to be polite about it.
The part I will be blunt about, because our own product page is blunt about it: the trio is one fixed set. Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, all three in whichever size you choose. It is not assembled around a person's taste, Adaa is not in it, and if somebody wears bright citrus and nothing else, that box is the wrong box - Adaa on its own is the honest answer, and it costs a great deal less. I would rather lose the larger sale than have three bottles sit unopened on somebody's dressing table.
And the thing nobody selling fragrance should pretend to know: I cannot tell you what they will like. I can tell you what is in each bottle, that one dab carries six to eight hours, that a 3ml is roughly sixty wears, and that all four are alcohol-free and blended here in Pune. What happens when a particular person puts a particular attar on a particular wrist is genuinely theirs to find out - and giving them three ways to find it out is, I think, the whole point.
Frequently asked questions
Is three 3ml bottles really cheaper than one big bottle?
The trio at 3 x 3ml is Rs 1,055. A single 12ml attar is Rs 1,149 for Adaa, Rs 1,165 for Ameeri, Rs 1,179 for Mastani and Rs 1,199 for Nawaab. So three small bottles sit just under one large one. What you give up is volume: nine millilitres across three compositions against twelve millilitres of one.
Can I swap one of the three for a different attar?
No. The SOSA Attar Trio is a fixed combination of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, and all three come in the single size you select. Adaa is not in it and is sold separately from Rs 379. A different three, or three in mixed sizes, means buying the bottles individually, and the trio price no longer applies.
Will a 3ml look too small to be a birthday present?
That is a judgement about presentation, and the published facts are these: a 3ml is roughly 60 wears at one dab, the trio is three of them, and all three come in a single gift-ready box. Whether nine millilitres of oil attar reads the way a large bottle does is your call, not something SOSA publishes a view on.
He wears one fragrance for everything. Does the trio cover that?
Partly, and it is worth being exact. The three in the box are all published as evening compositions - depth, warmth and floral. SOSA's own trio page lists a need for a daytime or office-safe attar as a reason not to buy it, and points that need at Adaa, the lightest of the four, at Rs 379 in 3ml. If the everyday slot matters, that is a separate bottle on the same order.
How is an oil attar different from the spray he uses now?
Mechanically, mostly. It is a concentrated oil with a dab applicator rather than an alcohol spray, so it goes on pulse points and is not rubbed in, and it is alcohol-free and DPG-free. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown developing after the first thirty minutes. No comparison with what he currently owns is made here, because SOSA publishes none.
Take the next step
Decide whether you are buying breadth or depth, then stop deliberating
The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when the point is to put three different things on their skin and find out - roughly 60 wears in each bottle, so it is a real trial rather than a sample. The 3 x 6ml at ₹1,859 or 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 when you already expect all three to be worn. A single 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 when you know the direction and breadth would be wasted. And Adaa on its own from ₹379 when what you know about their taste is that it is light and fresh, because the trio is published as an evening set. Tell SOSA what they already wear on WhatsApp.
Not sure which one suits the person you are buying for? Send SOSA their age, whether they drive, whether they like their home scented and your budget on WhatsApp, and you will get an honest answer - including when the cheaper product is the better gift.
The fragrance gift that hands the choosing back to the person wearing it
SOSA — alcohol-free oil attars, hand-blended in Pune in 3ml, 6ml and 12ml; the fixed Attar Trio from ₹1,055, single bottles from ₹379, 6 to 8 hours of wear per bottle
Tell SOSA on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 what the budget is and whether the birthday should be supply or variety, and you will get one straight answer - including the times it is a single 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 rather than the trio.

About this guide: Written by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles-trained founder and perfumer at SOSA Home & Body. Product recommendations reflect the SOSA range; the reasoning about how to buy fragrance for somebody whose taste you partly know applies to any brand.Specifications verified from the live SOSA product pages, September 2026: SOSA publishes four attars and one pack of three, and that is the entire attar range. Adaa - bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood - is ₹379 in 3ml, ₹669 in 6ml and ₹1,149 in 12ml. Ameeri - Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, Persian saffron, soft oudh, amber and white musk - is ₹385, ₹679 and ₹1,165. Mastani - night-blooming jasmine, Damask rose, Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka - is ₹389, ₹685 and ₹1,179. Nawaab - white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf - is ₹399, ₹699 and ₹1,199. The SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed combination - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - at ₹1,055 for 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 for 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 for 3 x 12ml, against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 for the same bottles bought singly. All three bottles in a trio ship in the same size and in a single gift-ready box. Adaa is not in the trio; SOSA publishes it as the daytime attar, sold separately, and the trio page states that a different combination or mixed sizes means buying individually without the trio price. Published across all five pages: 6 to 8 hours of wear per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin; a drydown that develops after the first 30 minutes; roughly 60 wears in a 3ml at one dab; a built-in dab applicator, dabbed on pulse points rather than rubbed; a carrier of Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba; alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant and skin-safe; heat-stable to 45 degrees C; hand-blended in small batches in Pune; country of origin India. Attar oils can stain light silks and are applied to skin rather than fabric. For comparison: SOSA solid body perfumes are ₹459 to ₹549 in 15g and are also worn, though no wear-time figure is published for them; SOSA reed diffusers from ₹749 scent a room rather than a person and are not an alternative to an attar. What is not published, and is therefore not stated here: any sillage, projection or room-distance figure; any shelf life, expiry, concentration or oil percentage; any seasonal or skin-chemistry claim beyond "longer on warm or oily skin"; any bulk rate, minimum quantity, price break or lead time; and any presentation beyond the trio's single gift-ready box and a custom label or logo on product. Limits of this guide: no claim is made anywhere on this page about mood, stress, calm, sleep, headaches, sensitivity or wellbeing, in either direction. No claim is made about what any recipient will like. Nothing here states or implies that a named person will enjoy, prefer, adopt or be impressed by any fragrance, that a scent will suit them or become their signature, or that a gift will be well received; SOSA publishes no information of that kind and none is invented here. No third-party perfume, perfume house or brand is named, and no resemblance, alternative or dupe claim is made about any SOSA product. No rating, review count, strength score or customer name from any product page is cited, and no competitor or category of competing product is characterised. No statement is made about what any community, religion or family wears or gives, and no etiquette rule is presented as fact. No fragrance is assigned to a gender; SOSA publishes all four attars as wearable by anyone. 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.
