How to Present Home-Fragrance Choices to Interior-Design Clients
SOSA · for interior designers
Let the client choose the scent
Fragrance is personal in a way that tiles and fabrics are not. The designer’s job is to guide the choice, not make it.

The short answer
Ask what the client loves and dislikes, then offer only the oils that suit the chosen machine: Pawan’s two pairs, or Vaayu’s four sets. Agree intensity and which rooms stay unscented, record the choice, and revisit it a few weeks after move-in.
A short conversation
Five questions
- Love and dislike. Woods, fresh tea, citrus, florals or warm amber?
- Where. Shared rooms, private rooms, or both.
- How strong. A hint on arrival, or a clear presence.
- Who is sensitive. Anyone in the household who prefers no fragrance.
- Record and revisit. Write the choice into the handover and check back after a few weeks.

Questions
Before you choose
Can clients sample the scents?
Message us and we will help you choose between the options for the client’s rooms.
Should every room have the same scent?
It does not have to. One scent across connected spaces feels calm and consistent. A closed bedroom can have its own scent if the person using it prefers something different.
Can one room be left unscented?
Yes. Fragrance is optional. Simply leave that room without a machine, or switch a Pawan off in the SOSA app.
What if someone in the home is sensitive to fragrance?
If someone is pregnant, has asthma, migraines or a known fragrance sensitivity, check with your doctor first, start on the lowest setting and keep the space ventilated.
Not sure which one?
