Can I run a scent machine during construction work? It is better not to. Construction dust and fresh paint fumes are not a good environment for a scent machine, and testing a fragrance over fumes tells you nothing. Keep it boxed until the dust work ends.
Can I return SOSA Vaayu if my showroom opening is delayed? Damaged, defective or wrong items reported on arrival with photos are replaced or refunded, with shipping on SOSA. A change-of-mind return follows SOSA's store refund policy, where shipping plus a cancellation fee apply - so a delay alone is usually better handled by storing the machine.
Plan My Launch Fragrance
Vastu note: Vastu Shastra is a traditional Indian system of design and orientation. SOSA respects it as a cultural and personal preference. The placement advice here is practical - airflow, power access, safety and guest comfort - and SOSA makes no claim that any fragrance or machine placement brings prosperity, luck, footfall or business success.
Comfort note: Fragrance is a preference, not a treatment. Keep intensity low where children, older guests or fragrance-sensitive visitors are present, ventilate well, and keep machines and oils away from open flames, diyas and incense.
Facts verified on the SOSA store, October 2026: SOSA Vaayu is a waterless cold-air scent machine covering up to 1000m³ (about 2,000-3,000 sq ft, one whole floor), with a 400ml refillable tank and four 100ml waterless oils in the box; ₹12,499 with the SOSA Originals set or ₹12,999 with a hotel-inspired set. Bluetooth app and onboard buttons, 1h/4h/8h/24h timers, choice of days, adjustable intensity, key-lock, auto-stop, under 38 dB, DC 12V/5W, 165 x 80.5 x 215 mm, freestanding or wall / HVAC mount, CE / RoHS / SGS. Use only SOSA waterless nebuliser oils (100g ₹1,049, 300g ₹1,849; hotel-inspired blends ₹1,099 / ₹1,899) - not Hotel Collection ultrasonic fragrance, reed oil or thick essential oils. The oils in the box last about a year on typical home scheduling; all-day commercial use at higher intensity uses oil faster. Larger floors: SOSA Angaan (₹25,999, about 8,000-10,000 sq ft) and SOSA Meenar (₹38,500, about 12,000-18,000 sq ft). Hotel names describe fragrance styles only; SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel brand.

What should I do if my new showroom's interior work is delayed but I have already purchased SOSA Vaayu?
This happens more often than anyone admits. The machine arrives on time and the carpenter does not. Please do not worry - nothing about the Vaayu needs you to rush. It is perfectly happy in its box. What it does not like is construction dust, and the oils do not like heat and sunlight. Here is exactly what to do on the day it arrives, how to store it, and when to finally set it up.

Then keep the machine boxed and unfilled, with the oils capped and stored somewhere cool and dark, away from site dust.

The short answer
Short answer: inspect it on arrival (damage or defect: email photos, SOSA replaces or refunds), then store it boxed and unfilled with the oils capped, cool and dark, away from site dust, and set it up once dust work ends and the AC is running.
The machine: SOSA Vaayu - waterless cold-air, one whole floor up to about 2,000-3,000 sq ft, from ₹12,499.
Before you buy: send your floor plan, area, AC layout and opening date to SOSA on WhatsApp (+91 96192 18531).
In this guide
A waterless cold-air machine turns undiluted fragrance oil into a dry, residue-free mist that travels with the room's own airflow. For a new business it is one scheduled, consistent scent across the floor - planned with the fit-out, not added months later.

Straight answer
What should I do if my new showroom's interior work is delayed but I have already purchased SOSA Vaayu?
Stay calm - a delay costs you nothing if you store it well. On arrival: open the box and check the machine, the adapter and the four 100ml oils straight away, even if you will not use them for weeks. If anything is damaged, defective or wrong, email photos to SOSA - it will be replaced or refunded, with shipping on SOSA. Do not leave this until the interiors are done; check it the day it arrives. Then store it: put everything back in the box, unfilled. Keep the oil bottles capped, upright, and somewhere cool and dark - not in a hot car, not on a sunny window ledge and not in the site office next to the cutting saws. Construction dust gets everywhere, so a sealed cupboard at home or at another location is better than a corner of the site. Do not run it on a dusty site - wait until painting and dust work are finished and the AC is running. About returns: a change-of-mind return follows SOSA's refund policy, where shipping plus a cancellation fee apply, so for a delay alone, storing is usually the better choice. When the site is ready, set-up takes about ten minutes. The SOSA Vaayu is ₹12,499 with the Originals set or ₹12,999 with a hotel-inspired set. Message SOSA on WhatsApp with your new date. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
One line: inspect on arrival, then keep Vaayu boxed and unfilled, oils capped, cool and dark, away from site dust - set up once dust work ends. SOSA Vaayu from Rs 12,499.
For one consistent scent across a shop or office floor, start with SOSA Vaayu at ₹12,499 (four 100ml oils in the box), and keep a 300g refill (₹1,849) in the stockroom for launch week.
from ₹12,499
Looking after Vaayu while the interiors catch up
Three steps cover a delay: check it now, store it well, and set it up at the right moment rather than the first possible one.
1
Check it now
Inspect on arrival, even if you will not use it yet
The one thing you should not postpone is the inspection. Open the box, check the Vaayu body, the tank, the 5W adapter and the four oil bottles for damage or leaks, and photograph anything that looks wrong. Damaged, defective or wrong items are replaced or refunded by SOSA, with shipping on SOSA, when you email photos to sosahomeandbody@gmail.com. If you only open it weeks later on a finished site, it is much harder to say what happened. Keep the invoice with the box.
Tip: open and photograph everything the day it arrives - then put it back in the box.
2
Store it well
Boxed, unfilled, cool, dark and away from dust
Leave the tank empty until set-up. Keep the oil bottles capped and upright in a cool, dark place - heat and sunlight are the enemies of fragrance oil. Construction dust is the enemy of the machine, so store it away from the site, or in a sealed cupboard if it must stay there. If you buy extra waterless refills (from ₹1,049) during the delay, store them the same way. Do not try to test the machine in a corner of the site while sanding and painting are still going on.
3
Set it up at the right moment
After dust work, with the AC running
When the painters and polishers have finished and the AC is commissioned, air out the space, then set up the machine: about ten minutes plus pairing the app, with SOSA's guidance by WhatsApp if you want it. Give the new space two to three days to charge, then dial the intensity down and test through the last days before opening. If the delay has moved your opening date, re-plan from the new date the same way. A change-of-mind return follows the store refund policy (shipping plus a cancellation fee apply), so storing is usually the simpler path.
Tip: re-plan from the new opening date: set up after dust work, 2-3 days to charge, then test.
The SOSA principle
A delayed site does not hurt a boxed machine. Inspect it the day it arrives, store it unfilled, cool, dark and dust-free, and set it up when the space is ready.
SOSA Vaayu (from Rs 12,499) arrives with four 100ml oils; damage or defects on arrival are replaced or refunded when you email photos. Change-of-mind returns follow the store refund policy.
Your options while the site is not ready
Here is how the options compare when the interiors slip.
The SOSA scent edit
Interiors delayed: what to do with the machine
| Scent | Why it suits the mood |
|---|---|
| Store it · the usual right answer | Boxed and unfilled, oils capped, cool and dark, away from site dust. Costs nothing. |
| Damage or defect on arrival · report it | Email photos; SOSA replaces or refunds, with shipping on SOSA. |
| Run it on site now · avoid | Dust and fresh paint fumes; the test result is meaningless anyway. |
| Change-of-mind return · refund policy applies | Shipping plus a cancellation fee apply, so a delay alone is rarely worth returning for. |
When the site is ready again, installing Vaayu before the ceremony or after the AC is running covers the order of work, and our pre-opening fragrance checklist keeps the final week on track. See the SOSA Vaayu or contact SOSA.
Plan My Launch Fragrance
Send SOSA your floor plan, area, AC layout and opening date on WhatsApp - we will tell you honestly whether you need a Vaayu, reed diffusers or both.
The machine does not mind waiting. Check it on the day it arrives, put it somewhere cool and dark, and let the carpenters finish.

The SOSA scenting ladder
Size the machine to the space you actually want scented. One Vaayu scents the floor it sits on; rooms you keep closed - cabins, trial rooms, washrooms - are better served by a reed diffuser or a small machine of their own. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.

A note from Sonal
Many of the business owners who message us are weeks away from opening. The interiors are nearly done, the signage is ordered, the AC is going in - and fragrance is the one thing nobody planned. I would much rather we plan it together now, while the electrician can still put a socket in the right place.
Many of you also plan around Vastu - a north- or east-facing entrance, the northeast kept for the pooja. I respect that, and we will work around it. But I will be honest with you: a fragrance does not bring prosperity, and no machine placement can promise footfall. What a scent can do is make your space feel cared for from the first step inside. When the Vastu-preferred corner and the practical corner disagree, I would choose the spot where the air moves, the plug is safe and nobody can knock the machine over.
Send us your floor plan before you buy. If one SOSA Vaayu is right, we will say so; if two reed diffusers would do, we will tell you that too.
Frequently asked questions
Should I open the Vaayu box if my showroom is not ready?
Yes, once, on arrival. Check the machine, adapter and oils, and email photos to SOSA if anything is damaged, defective or wrong. Then pack it back in the box and store it until the site is ready.
How should I store the oils during a delay?
Keep the bottles capped and upright in a cool, dark place, away from heat, sunlight and construction dust. Leave the machine's tank empty until you set it up.
Can I return the machine because my opening is delayed?
A change-of-mind return follows SOSA's store refund policy, where shipping plus a cancellation fee apply. Damage, defects or a wrong item on arrival are different: email photos and SOSA replaces or refunds, with shipping on SOSA.
When should I set it up once the interiors are back on track?
After painting and dust work are finished and the AC is running. Set-up takes about ten minutes plus app pairing; then give the space two to three days to charge before dialling the intensity down.
Is it all right to test the machine on site during construction?
It is better not to. Dust and fresh paint fumes are a poor environment for the machine and make any fragrance test misleading. Wait until the site is clean.
