What does SOSA not publish? Five things, and they are worth naming individually. No projection figure of any kind — no distance, no rating, no test — because the industry has never agreed a method and SOSA has not commissioned one. No volume per application: no millilitres per pass, no drops, no count of applications in a bottle. No dose guidance tied to a setting — nothing that distinguishes a shared desk from a wedding. No note list at all for the two balms, which is a blank rather than a short one. And nothing about fabric, which is why this guide declines the staining question in both directions rather than answering it.
So what should the product pages say? Six lines, and they fit on a card. A starting dose (one pass of the roller, one point, held for a week). A definition of the unit in words rather than millilitres. A way to judge it (third hour, ordinary day, not a paper strip). A placement note (a wrist is low and part covered; the neck is at conversation height). A no-top-up line. And a seasonal note: warm skin lifts an oil more readily, so use less in a hot month. The full version is written out further down this page, along with the three things such a card must never say.
See the SOSA Attar Roll-On Collection Ask SOSA how close it stays
Facts verified 19 October 2026 against the live SOSA product pages: the SOSA attar roll-on collection holds the four attars and the trio, from ₹379. the SOSA Adaa attar is the lightest of the four and the only one with no oudh at all - Calabrian bergamot, green cardamom and neroli over jasmine sambac, magnolia and ylang ylang, on white musk, vetiver and cedarwood - at ₹379 for 3ml, ₹669 for 6ml and ₹1,149 for 12ml. the SOSA Ameeri attar is Persian saffron, pink pepper and bergamot over Taif rose and Indian sandalwood, on soft oudh, amber and white musk, at ₹385 for 3ml, ₹679 for 6ml and ₹1,165 for 12ml. SOSA’s own product page gives its mood as warm and festive, never theatrical. the SOSA Titan solid body perfume is a 15g balm in a tin at ₹500, one of the two tins currently in stock. every SOSA attar is sold in exactly three sizes - 3ml, 6ml and 12ml - all alcohol-free oil on an Indian sandalwood and jojoba carrier, DPG-free, hand-blended in Pune, and SOSA states wear time as 6-8 hours on skin. oudh is present in three of the four attars and absent from one: Nawaab is oud-led, Ameeri names a soft oudh and Mastani names oudh in its base, and Adaa has none. Among the perfume oils, Zaffran has no oud either. On projection: SOSA publishes a wear time of 6-8 hours on skin and publishes nothing at all about projection - no distance, no rating and no test, because the industry has never agreed one. Where this guide describes how close a fragrance stays, that is Sonal Sahani’s own assessment as the perfumer who composed it, labelled as such, and it carries no figure. Longevity, projection and sillage are three different properties and this guide keeps them apart. On other people: SOSA makes no claim about what anybody else will notice, think, feel or conclude because of a fragrance, and no claim about compliments, attraction, impressions or professional outcomes. On sensitivity: low projection is not low irritation risk. No SOSA product is described as hypoallergenic, as safe for sensitive individuals or as suitable for anybody who reacts to fragrance; alcohol-free and DPG-free are ingredient facts and not skin or safety claims, and natural materials are not inherently gentler. Where a workplace, clinic or hospital has its own rule about scented products, that rule decides it and the honest answer is to wear none. Patch-testing a new fragrance is general guidance, not medical advice. Where a fragrance family a reader asks about is not in the SOSA range, this guide says so rather than stretching a product to fit. SOSA is an independent Indian fragrance house and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any perfume house or brand named anywhere for reference; its “inspired by” perfume oils are SOSA’s own independent compositions and are never dupes, clones or equivalents. Prices, variants and availability are subject to change - see the live product pages.
A question like this usually produces a brand page full of warm intentions, so let us make it checkable instead. Below is what SOSA publishes today, named item by item; what it does not, named just as plainly; and then the application card this guide thinks belongs on every product page, written out in full sentences rather than described. If the card is any good, you can copy it and use it on a fragrance from any house. If SOSA has not put it up by the time you read this, the gap is still a gap and the page still says so.
Quick answers — read this first
What application guidance does SOSA publish today? Less than it should, and the parts it does publish are good. On each attar product page: the full composition — top, heart and base — the three sizes of 3ml, 6ml and 12ml with prices from ₹379, the format facts (alcohol-free oil on an Indian sandalwood and jojoba carrier, DPG-free, hand-blended in Pune, applied as a roll-on), and a wear time of 6-8 hours on skin, longer on warm or oily skin. In the Founder Diaries there is also a walk-through of pulse-point application. What is absent is any statement of how much to apply, where to start, or how to judge it.What does SOSA not publish?

The short answer
Short answer: SOSA publishes composition, sizes, prices and 6-8 hours on skin. It publishes no dose guidance, no volume per pass, no projection figure, and no note list for the balms.
The pick: ₹0 — this page is an audit and a card you can use on any fragrance, from any house.
Next step: copy the six-line card below and apply it to whatever is already in your drawer.
In this guide
An audit rather than a wish list, which is the only version of this question worth writing. Attar is concentrated, so patch-test any new fragrance if your skin reacts easily — general guidance, not medical advice.

Straight answer
What SOSA publishes, what it does not, and what the card should say
Published today, on every attar product page: the composition in full, top to base; the three sizes — 3ml, 6ml and 12ml — with prices from ₹379; the format facts, which are alcohol-free oil on an Indian sandalwood and jojoba carrier, DPG-free, hand-blended in Pune and applied as a roll-on; and a wear time of 6-8 hours on skin, longer on warm or oily skin. That is a better disclosure than much of the market manages, and it is also not application guidance. Not published: any starting amount; any volume per pass, drop count or number of applications in a bottle; any guidance that distinguishes one setting from another; any note list for the two balms, which is a blank and should be read as one; anything about fabric; and no projection figure of any kind, because the industry has never agreed a test and SOSA has not commissioned one. One more piece of honesty, since this is an audit of SOSA by SOSA: the product pages carry some skin-and-suitability language that this guide deliberately does not repeat, because low projection is not low irritation risk and an ingredient fact such as alcohol-free or DPG-free is not a gentleness claim. There is also a climate figure on the product pages and no page in this guide repeats it. The proposal is a six-line card on every product page, and it is written out in full below — a starting dose, a defined unit, a way to judge it, a placement note, a no-top-up line and a seasonal line — plus three sentences such a card must never contain. All of it costs a reader nothing, which is the point: the dose protocol and the five free levers already exist as pages here, and the argument of this one is simply that they belong where the buying decision happens.
One line: SOSA publishes what is in the bottle and how long it lasts on skin, and not a word about how much to put on — which is the one thing every buyer has to decide on the first morning.
Nothing to buy on this page. For reference, the SOSA attar roll-on collection starts at ₹379, and the Titan balm is ₹500 with the same stated 6-8 hours — and its missing note list is one of the blanks this page is arguing about.

What to actually buy, and what to skip
There is nothing to buy on a page about disclosure, and the links below are here so you can check the audit rather than take it on trust. Open any of the three and see for yourself what is on it and what is not.

Four attars and the trio, from ₹379
The collection page lists all four attars in 3ml, 6ml and 12ml. Open it and you will find composition, sizes and prices, and no starting dose, no volume per pass and no projection figure. That is the gap this page is about — and the absence is not an oversight on a single page, it is consistent across the range.

The best-disclosed case
The lightest, and the only one with no oudh
Calabrian bergamot, green cardamom and neroli over jasmine sambac, magnolia and ylang ylang, closing on white musk, vetiver and cedarwood, at ₹379 for 3ml, and SOSA states 6-8 hours on skin. Everything a reader needs in order to choose, and nothing at all about how much to apply on the first morning — which is the decision that actually determines what they experience.
From ₹379
The clearest blank in the range
A balm at ₹500, with no note list published
A 15g solid body perfume in a tin at ₹500. SOSA states 6-8 hours on skin for the balms too, which this guide treats as the oils’ own figure and never as a shortfall against it. What it does not publish is any note list, and a card of the kind proposed here should label that blank in words rather than leave a reader guessing what is in the tin.
From ₹500
Three things that decide it
Three parts: the card itself, written out; the three sentences it must never contain; and the limit of what a card can do.
1
One
The card, written out in full
Six lines, and they are deliberately boring. “Start with one pass of the roller on one point, and keep it there for a week before changing anything.” “One pass means one touch of the roller, moved once and lifted — not a line drawn along the wrist. We do not publish a volume for it, because we have not measured one.” “Judge it at the third hour of an ordinary day, not in the first ten minutes and not on a paper strip.” “An inner wrist sits lower than conversation height and spends part of the day under a sleeve; the neck does neither.” “Do not top up. A second application does not replace the first, it adds to it.” “Warm skin lifts an oil more readily, so use less in a hot month than in a cold one.” That is the whole card, it fits beside a price, and every line of it is free advice that reduces the amount a customer uses. The long version lives here and the arithmetic behind line one is here.
Tip: Copy the six lines and use them on whatever you already own, from any house. Nothing in them is specific to SOSA.
2
Two
The three sentences such a card must never contain
A disclosure proposal is only honest if it also says what it refuses. No projection figure or metaphor. Not a distance, not a rating, not “stays within arm's reach” — there is no agreed test, SOSA has not commissioned one, and a simile is a figure wearing a coat. No claim about what another person will notice, think or conclude. That depends on their nose and their attention, and a dose card that promises it has stopped being guidance and become advertising. No invented quantity. No millilitres per pass, no applications per bottle, no “a 3ml lasts a season” — all of which are the same fabrication in different units, and all of which a shopper would reasonably believe because they look like facts.
Tip: A quick test for any brand's dose guidance: does it contain a number nobody could have measured? If so, somebody has estimated it and then rounded it into a fact.
3
Three
What a card cannot do, and the deferrals it owes
Guidance has limits and a good card admits them. It cannot tell a reader what their colleague will register. It cannot settle a setting: where a workplace, a clinic or a hospital has a rule about scented products, the answer is to wear none, and a dose line that implies a very light application is the compliant option would be worse than silence. It cannot make a sensitivity claim: low projection is not low irritation risk, those are unrelated properties, and alcohol-free and DPG-free are ingredient facts rather than gentleness claims. And it cannot answer the fabric question, because SOSA publishes nothing about how an attar behaves on cloth — so the only honest line is that an oil belongs on skin rather than on silk, wool or a collar. The companion page on what to ask any brand approaches the same subject from the buyer's side.
Tip: If a brand's application advice never once says "wear none", it has not thought about shared spaces — it has thought about selling fragrance in them.
The SOSA principle
The hardest thing for a fragrance house to publish is the sentence that reduces how much its customers use — which is exactly why it is the one worth asking for.
A composition list makes a brand look generous. A starting dose makes it useful, and costs it volume. Only one of those is a real disclosure.
Work out your own answer
Two questions, plain nested HTML and no script, so this works whether you are reading it or having it read to you.
First: what were you actually looking for on the product page?
“How much should I put on?”
Genuinely missing, and the most important of the gaps. The answer is one pass of the roller on one point, held for a week, judged at the third hour of an ordinary day. The long version is here, and this page's argument is that it belongs on the product page rather than three clicks away.
“How far does it carry?”
Deliberately absent, and this guide defends the absence. SOSA publishes no projection figure and has not commissioned a test, because the industry has never agreed a method — so any number would be an opinion with a decimal point in it. What the page should add is a sentence saying that in plain words rather than simply omitting it.
“How long will the bottle last me?”
Not published, and it should stay that way: it depends entirely on how much you apply, so a figure would be invention. What a product page can honestly say is that a 3ml at ₹379 is the sensible first purchase and that a 12ml is the right buy only after a week of daily wear.
“Is it suitable for someone who reacts to fragrance?”
No SOSA product is described that way in this guide, and the reason is the one line this family keeps repeating: low projection is not low irritation risk, and alcohol-free and DPG-free are ingredient facts rather than gentleness claims. Patch-testing a new fragrance is general guidance, not medical advice.
Second: what do you want to do with the card?
Use it on something I already own
Exactly what it is for, and the cost is ₹0. The six lines are not specific to SOSA and work on any concentrated oil from any house. Start with one point and hold it a week.
Judge another brand with it
Also what it is for. Ask any seller for a starting amount, a definition of the unit, a way to judge it and a sentence about what they do not publish. The last of those four is the one that separates a careful brand from a confident one.
Buy a first attar and start properly
Tell SOSA what is missing
The most useful option on this list. Write with the piece of guidance you wanted and could not find, and the audit above gets shorter rather than longer.
The case against buying anything
The case against this page, which is the honest version of an objections block when the page is a brand auditing itself and recommending that you spend nothing.
- A brand marking its own homework is worth very little. Fair, and the only defence is specificity: every line of the proposed card is written out above in words you can check against the live product pages, and the audit names what is missing rather than gesturing at improvement. Partly conceded — if the card is not on the product pages by the time you read this, the page has produced an argument and not a change, and you should treat it accordingly.
- The guidance already exists; it is just in the wrong place. Also true, and it is the sharper criticism. The dose protocol and the free levers are both published here already. A buyer deciding at a product page is not three clicks from a blog post, so guidance that lives only in a guide is guidance most customers never see.
- Some of these blanks should stay blank. Agreed, and the page says so: no projection figure, no volume per pass and no bottle-life arithmetic belong on a product page, because nobody has measured them. The argument is not for filling every gap — it is for labelling the deliberate ones in plain words instead of leaving a silence a reader will fill with a guess.
Sonal’s own assessment · a perfumer’s judgement, not a measurement
My own view, as the person who composed these and writes the product pages: the missing dose line is my fault and it is the most useful thing I could add. I publish the whole composition because I think a buyer deserves it, and then I leave them to guess the amount, which is the variable that decides most of what they will actually experience. The reason I have not published a projection figure is different and I would defend it: there is no agreed test, so any number I printed would be my feeling with a decimal point attached. A starting dose is not like that — it is an instruction I give people every week by email, and it should be on the page.
That is the perfumer's own judgement about her own disclosure, not a measurement. SOSA publishes a wear time of 6-8 hours on skin and publishes no projection figure of any kind, has not commissioned a projection test, and publishes no volume per application. Nothing on this page describes a test SOSA might run as though it had been run.
The four attars, side by side
The audit as a table: four things SOSA publishes well, and the blank sitting beside each of them. Everything in the left column was read off the live product pages on 19 October 2026.
The SOSA plan
Published, and not published, side by side
| What SOSA publishes | The blank beside it |
|---|---|
|
The composition in full — top, heart and base, on every attar page
|
No guidance on how to read it for a close-range brief, which is to read the base line first: dry bases of white musk, vetiver and cedarwood behave differently at close quarters from sweet bases of vanilla and tonka. The note list is published and the way to use it is not. |
|
Three sizes and prices — 3ml, 6ml and 12ml, from ₹379
|
No starting amount, and no statement that a 3ml is the right first purchase. Nor any volume per pass, drop count or applications-per-bottle figure — and that blank is correct, because nobody has measured one, but the page could say so rather than leaving it silent. |
|
6-8 hours on skin, longer on warm or oily skin
|
No breakdown of that figure into stages, which is right — and no note list at all for the two balms, which is a blank that should be labelled as one on the product page instead of leaving a reader to guess what is in it. |
|
The format facts — alcohol-free oil, Indian sandalwood and jojoba carrier, DPG-free, hand-blended in Pune
|
No note that these are ingredient facts rather than gentleness claims, and no statement that low projection is not low irritation risk. Also no projection figure of any kind, which is the right blank — and it deserves a sentence explaining why rather than a silence. |
Three to read alongside this one. The dose protocol, which is the long form of line one of the card is the page the card would point at. Five free ways to reduce the reach of an attar you already own is the version for somebody who has already bought. And what to ask any brand about intensity, ingredients and application is the same audit written from the buyer's side rather than the seller's. SOSA has also published a walk-through of pulse-point application and a long buyer's guide to alcohol-free attar roll-ons.
Something missing from this audit
If there is a piece of application guidance you wanted and could not find on a SOSA page, write and tell us what it was. That is the most useful email this guide receives, and it is the only way the list above gets shorter.
Publishing the composition makes me look generous. Publishing a starting dose would cost me volume. That is exactly why the second one is the real disclosure.

This is an audit rather than a shop, and the honest recommendation is ₹0: take the six-line card and use it on whatever is in your drawer. For completeness on the set: the trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, does not include Adaa, and is ₹1,055 against ₹1,173 for three 3ml bought separately — a genuine discount on its own contents, and a set whose product page carries the same missing dose line as the rest.
The verdict
Is there anything here worth buying
| Worth it if | Not worth it if |
|---|---|
| You were going to buy a first attar anyway and want to start properly: a 3ml at ₹379 or ₹385, applied at one pass on one point for a week, which is the card in practice rather than in theory. Or you specifically want the balm format at ₹500 and are content that it publishes no note list. | You came to this page for the audit, which is free, and the card, which is also free. Nothing about a disclosure gap is solved by a purchase, and the most useful thing you can do with this page is apply its six lines to a bottle you already own — including one from another house entirely. |
An audit page that ended in a hard sell would have failed its own argument. The recommendation is ₹0 and the card below the hero is the deliverable.
What to actually buy
The card, if you want it in one place
| Starting dose | One pass of the roller on one point. Keep it there for a week before changing anything. |
|---|---|
| The unit | One touch, moved once, lifted — not a line drawn along the wrist. No volume is published for it, because none has been measured. |
| How to judge it | At the third hour of an ordinary day. Not in the first ten minutes, and not on a paper strip. |
| Placement | An inner wrist is lower than conversation height and spends part of the day under a sleeve. The neck does neither. |
| The rule | No top-up. A second application adds to the first rather than replacing it. |
| Season | Warm skin lifts an oil more readily, so use less in a hot month than in a cold one. |
| The deferral | Where a workplace, clinic or hospital has a rule about scented products, wear none. No dose gets round a rule. |
SOSA states wear time as 6-8 hours on skin, longer on warm or oily skin, publishes no projection figure, has not commissioned a projection test, publishes no volume per application and states 6-8 hours on skin for the balms too. Every one of those sentences is a published position or a labelled blank, and none of them is filled in here.
What this page actually gives you
Two reference links and no bundle. The deliverable on this page is the six-line card, which is free and works on any fragrance you already own.

Sonal’s recommendation
If you asked me what SOSA should add, I would not start with a projection number — I would refuse that one again, because there is no agreed test and I will not print my own feeling as a measurement. I would start with the dullest sentence in this guide: “Start with one pass on one point and keep it there for a week.” It belongs on every product page, beside the price, and it would reduce how much of my own oil people use. Then the unit defined in words, then the third-hour rule, then the no-top-up line, then the seasonal note, then an explicit line about what we do not publish and why. If you want to hold me to that list, this page is where it is written down.

A note from Sonal
I trained as a perfumer at ISIPCA in Versailles, and the training was mostly about dose. Which makes it slightly absurd that the one thing my own product pages do not tell you is how much to put on — so this page exists to say that in public, with the missing lines written out rather than promised.
On the blanks I intend to keep: there is no agreed test for projection, SOSA has not commissioned one, and I am not going to publish a number for how far anything carries. The same goes for volume per pass and how long a bottle lasts — both depend on the hand holding it, and a figure would be fabrication that looked like a specification. SOSA publishes the composition in full, the three sizes, the prices and a wear time of 6-8 hours on skin, and the same 6-8 hours on skin for the balms.
SOSA's attars are alcohol-free oil on an Indian sandalwood and jojoba carrier, DPG-free, hand-blended in Pune, in 3ml, 6ml and 12ml. They are made in India, and a portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali. One honest note: attar is concentrated, and natural materials like rose and oud can occasionally react on skin that reacts easily, so a small patch test with anything new is worth the minute.
Frequently asked questions
What application guidance does SOSA publish today?
On every attar product page: the full composition from top to base, the three sizes of 3ml, 6ml and 12ml with prices from Rs 379, the format facts — alcohol-free oil on an Indian sandalwood and jojoba carrier, DPG-free, hand-blended in Pune, applied as a roll-on — and a wear time of 6-8 hours on skin, longer on warm or oily skin. There is also a Founder Diaries walk-through of pulse-point application. What is missing is any starting amount.
What should SOSA add to its product pages?
Six lines: a starting dose of one pass on one point held for a week; the unit defined in words rather than millilitres; a way to judge it, at the third hour of an ordinary day; a placement note, since a wrist is lower than conversation height and often covered; a no-top-up rule; and a seasonal line, because warm skin lifts an oil more readily. All six are written out in full on this page.
Why does SOSA not publish a projection figure?
Because there is no agreed industry test for projection, so there is no method that would make a number mean anything — and SOSA has not commissioned a test of its own either. Any figure printed on a product page would be somebody's impression with a decimal point attached. What this page argues for is not a number but a sentence: a plain statement on the product page explaining that the figure is absent and why.
Is the wear time different for the solid balms?
No. Both balm product pages state 6-8 hours on skin — the attars’ own figure — so this page claims no difference in either direction: not that a balm outlasts an oil, and not that it falls short. What a balm does not publish is a note list, and that is the blank the product pages should label in words.
Can I use this card on fragrances from other brands?
Yes, and that is partly the point of writing it out. Nothing in the six lines is specific to SOSA: a starting amount, a defined unit, a judging window, a placement note, a no-top-up rule and a seasonal note apply to any concentrated oil. The last question to ask any seller is the revealing one — what do you not publish, and why.

About this guide: Written by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles-trained founder and perfumer at SOSA Home & Body. Product recommendations reflect the SOSA range; the way of choosing applies to any brand. Skin note: attar is concentrated, so patch-test any new fragrance if your skin reacts easily - that is general guidance, not medical advice.Facts verified 19 October 2026 against the live SOSA product pages: the SOSA attar roll-on collection holds the four attars and the trio, from ₹379. the SOSA Adaa attar is the lightest of the four and the only one with no oudh at all - Calabrian bergamot, green cardamom and neroli over jasmine sambac, magnolia and ylang ylang, on white musk, vetiver and cedarwood - at ₹379 for 3ml, ₹669 for 6ml and ₹1,149 for 12ml. the SOSA Ameeri attar is Persian saffron, pink pepper and bergamot over Taif rose and Indian sandalwood, on soft oudh, amber and white musk, at ₹385 for 3ml, ₹679 for 6ml and ₹1,165 for 12ml. SOSA’s own product page gives its mood as warm and festive, never theatrical. the SOSA Titan solid body perfume is a 15g balm in a tin at ₹500, one of the two tins currently in stock. every SOSA attar is sold in exactly three sizes - 3ml, 6ml and 12ml - all alcohol-free oil on an Indian sandalwood and jojoba carrier, DPG-free, hand-blended in Pune, and SOSA states wear time as 6-8 hours on skin. oudh is present in three of the four attars and absent from one: Nawaab is oud-led, Ameeri names a soft oudh and Mastani names oudh in its base, and Adaa has none. Among the perfume oils, Zaffran has no oud either. On projection: SOSA publishes a wear time of 6-8 hours on skin and publishes nothing at all about projection - no distance, no rating and no test, because the industry has never agreed one. Where this guide describes how close a fragrance stays, that is Sonal Sahani’s own assessment as the perfumer who composed it, labelled as such, and it carries no figure. Longevity, projection and sillage are three different properties and this guide keeps them apart. On other people: SOSA makes no claim about what anybody else will notice, think, feel or conclude because of a fragrance, and no claim about compliments, attraction, impressions or professional outcomes. On sensitivity: low projection is not low irritation risk. No SOSA product is described as hypoallergenic, as safe for sensitive individuals or as suitable for anybody who reacts to fragrance; alcohol-free and DPG-free are ingredient facts and not skin or safety claims, and natural materials are not inherently gentler. Where a workplace, clinic or hospital has its own rule about scented products, that rule decides it and the honest answer is to wear none. Patch-testing a new fragrance is general guidance, not medical advice. Where a fragrance family a reader asks about is not in the SOSA range, this guide says so rather than stretching a product to fit. SOSA is an independent Indian fragrance house and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any perfume house or brand named anywhere for reference; its “inspired by” perfume oils are SOSA’s own independent compositions and are never dupes, clones or equivalents.
