A pack is a set of decisions already made

A handover pack for this layer has one job, and it is not to explain how fragrance works. Its job is to remove decisions, so that the client never has to make one and therefore never makes a bad one. Everything in it should be a decision you have already taken, written down plainly. There are six items. The first is the register and the product locations, room by room. Which of the seven Hotel Collection scents is in use, and exactly where each item sits: the machine on the console in the living volume, a reed in each bedroom, bathroom, study and dressing room. Locations matter more than people expect, because objects migrate - a reed placed on a console ends up on a windowsill in direct sun, where heat speeds evaporation and empties the bottle early while running it stronger in the meantime, or beside a velvet sofa, where the textile loads over days and the corner becomes progressively stronger while the setting has not changed. A one-line note per room prevents both. The second is the level and schedule you set. Low and continuous rather than high and intermittent, because bursts read as fragrance being applied to a room while a low continuous output reads as the room simply being a certain way. If the machine has timer and app control, write down the schedule you programmed rather than leaving it as an undocumented state, and note that in a heavily glazed home the afternoon reads stronger than the evening because solar gain drives convection currents, so the schedule may deliberately run lower during the day. The third is the correction rule, and it is the single most valuable sentence in the pack: leave the level alone, and adjust only if a visitor remarks on it. This exists because everybody in a household adapts to a steady background within about an hour and can no longer detect it. A client who adjusts by nose will climb steadily upward, because each time they stop noticing it they will turn it up, and the end state is a house that guests find strong and that the family cannot smell at all. A rule protects the client from that and protects you from the phone call. It is also worth writing down that a change of register takes weeks rather than days to read cleanly in a home with heavy textiles, because stored fragrance keeps being released, and that washing and airing textiles speeds it up while running the new register harder does not. The fourth is the machine instruction, which needs to be explicit because the two products look interchangeable and are not. Machines take the water-based Hotel Collection only, at three to six drops per tank, with a rinse between scents. Reed oil must never go into a machine, because it can damage it. Add the tray note as well: machines and reeds both stand on trays, because oil marks stone, timber and lacquered surfaces, and porous stone such as travertine and honed limestone absorbs it permanently. The fifth is the reorder path, and it is what keeps the layer alive. Reeds are consumed by time rather than by use, so a bottle lasts three to four months whether the room is used daily or monthly, which means month four is when an unattended scheme quietly dies. Garden Bloom and Evening Calm are Rs 799, Morning Freshness Rs 749, and Fresh Brew and Mountain Breeze Rs 849, with refills at Rs 2,399 for 300ml and Rs 3,499 for 500ml - roughly Rs 200 to Rs 280 per room per month. Write the number to order from and the products by name, so that nobody has to work out what was installed. A layer that stops working three months after handover reflects on the practice that specified it, not on the client who forgot. The sixth is the exclusions, in writing, so that nobody helpfully extends the scheme later. The kitchen is never scented, at any time, because cooking smell is aerosolised oil and the answer is extraction. Children's rooms get no fragrance. A covered terrace, balcony or verandah cannot hold fragrance because the air is not enclosed, so nothing installed there will work regardless of size. Staff quarters and utility areas get nothing. And add the consent line: anybody who shares the home and cannot leave it - a live-in parent, staff, a long-staying guest - gets a low neutral register and a physical off switch, not an app-only one, that they never have to justify using. In a ducted air-conditioned home, add a note that the circuit joins rooms into one air volume, so fragrance may reach rooms that were meant to be excluded and it is worth checking. Two optional additions that are worth including if the pack has room. A short note that fragrance is a finishing layer and never a correction - so if a smell appears, the answer is to find the source rather than to raise the level, because fragrance combines with an existing smell rather than masking it. And a line that one register runs throughout the home varied by intensity rather than a different scent per room, because two registers meet in doorways many times a day and the collision reads as something being wrong, which prevents a well-meaning client from buying a different scent for the guest room. On the products, the Vaayu is Rs 11,999 - waterless with no tank, coverage up to 1,000 square metres or roughly 10,700 square feet, with Bluetooth app and timer control - the Megh Rs 3,499 with a 6L tank, the Sukoon Rs 1,799 and the Boond Rs 799. The seven Hotel Collection registers are Rs 299 for 15ml, Rs 999 for 100ml and Rs 1,799 for 300ml, and they are SOSA's own interpretations, since we are independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by or associated with any hotel brand. Do not put any claim about mood, focus, sleep, stress or wellbeing into a handover document; we make none. Everything is alcohol-free and made to IFRA-compliant standards, and a portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali. Volume pricing is quoted against the specification on WhatsApp.

So the client never has to make one

A handover pack has one job, which is to remove decisions so the client never makes a bad one. Six items. One: the register and product locations room by room, because objects migrate - a reed moved to a sunny windowsill empties early and runs stronger meanwhile, one moved beside a velvet sofa loads the textile over days and that corner strengthens while the setting has not changed. Two: the level and schedule you set, low and continuous rather than high and intermittent, written down rather than left as an undocumented state - and note that a heavily glazed home reads stronger in the afternoon because solar gain drives convection, so the schedule may deliberately run lower by day. Three: the correction rule, the most valuable sentence in the pack - leave the level alone and adjust only if a visitor remarks - because the household adapts within about an hour and a client adjusting by nose climbs steadily until guests find the house strong. Add that a change of register takes weeks in a textile-heavy home, and that washing and airing speeds it while running harder does not. Four: the machine instruction, explicit because the products look interchangeable and are not - water-based Hotel Collection only, three to six drops per tank, rinse between scents, never reed oil, which can damage a machine - plus the tray note, since oil marks stone, timber and lacquer and porous stone absorbs it permanently. Five: the reorder path, because reeds are consumed by time rather than use and month four is when an unattended scheme quietly dies; Garden Bloom and Evening Calm at Rs 799, Morning Freshness at Rs 749, Fresh Brew and Mountain Breeze at Rs 849, refills at Rs 2,399 for 300ml and Rs 3,499 for 500ml, roughly Rs 200 to Rs 280 per room per month, written by name so nobody has to work out what was installed. Six: the exclusions in writing - kitchen at any time, children's rooms, covered terraces, staff quarters and utility areas - plus the consent line, that anyone who cannot leave a room gets a low neutral register and a physical off switch. In a ducted home, note that the circuit joins rooms and may carry fragrance into an excluded one. Two optional additions: that fragrance is a finishing layer and never a correction, so a new smell means finding the source rather than raising the level; and that one register runs throughout varied by intensity. Products: the SOSA Vaayu at Rs 11,999 with coverage to 1,000 m², the SOSA Megh at Rs 3,499, the SOSA Sukoon at Rs 1,799, the SOSA Boond at Rs 799, Hotel Collection from Rs 299. Everything is alcohol-free and made to IFRA-compliant standards. Volume pricing is quoted on WhatsApp.
