Founder Diaries · Attars, Fragrance Discovery & Buying for Known Taste
Where is the softest woody material in the SOSA range? Underneath, rather than on top. Adaa is the only one of the four where wood is a base rather than a subject: its published list runs bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood, at ₹379 in 3ml. Ameeri puts Indian sandalwood and a soft oudh under Taif rose and Persian saffron, at ₹385 in 3ml.
Does SOSA publish these attars as being for one kind of wearer? No. SOSA publishes all four as worn by anyone, and this page assigns no fragrance to a gender. What can be described honestly is the composition itself: which material leads, which supports, and where the wood sits in the structure. That is a statement about a bottle rather than about a person, and it is the only kind of statement the published information supports.

The instinct behind this question is sound: if somebody has decided a whole family is not for them, a single bottle from that family is a large ask, and three graded steps would be kinder. The problem is that the published set is not graded. The SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed combination of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, and Nawaab is published as the deepest attar in the range - so the far end of the scale is in the box by default, not at the end of a path. Meanwhile the four bottles do contain a real spread of wood, and it is worth naming it properly. Sandalwood, cedarwood, vetiver and oud are four different materials doing four different jobs, and where they sit in a composition matters more than whether they are present at all.
This is the deep end of the SOSA range, and it is one of the three bottles in the published trio. Nawaab is white royal oud with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, and agarwood, leather, vetiver and amber around them, at ₹399 in 3ml, ₹699 in 6ml and ₹1,199 in 12ml. SOSA publishes it as the deepest of the four. That is why the trio is not a gentle introduction to woods: it is a fixed set of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, and the deepest bottle in the range is in it by default.
Quick answers — read this first
Is the SOSA trio a gentle way into woody fragrance? Not in the way the question hopes. The trio is a fixed set of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani at ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml, and Nawaab is published as the deepest of the four - white royal oud with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf. So the box is not a ladder from light to deep; it is three evening compositions, one of which is the deep end of the range.Where is the softest woody material in the SOSA range? Underneath, rather than on top. Adaa is the only one of the four where wood is a base rather than a subject: its published list runs bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood, at ₹379 in 3ml. Ameeri puts Indian sandalwood and a soft oudh under Taif rose and Persian saffron, at ₹385 in 3ml.

The short answer
Short answer: The SOSA Attar Trio is not a graded introduction to woods. It is a fixed set of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani at Rs 1,055 in 3 x 3ml, and Nawaab is published as the deepest of the four. The one attar where wood sits beneath rather than on top is Adaa, whose published list ends in vetiver and cedarwood under bergamot, neroli, jasmine sambac and white musk, at Rs 379 in 3ml. Ameeri puts Indian sandalwood and a soft oudh under Taif rose and Persian saffron, at Rs 385 in 3ml.
The pick: A single 3ml, chosen for where the wood sits: Adaa at ₹379 when it should be a floor, or Ameeri at ₹385 when a floral lead over sandalwood is the step.
Why: The published set contains the deepest attar in the range, so it cannot be a soft landing. A single bottle with roughly 60 wears in it lets the wood be met slowly, which is what the question is really asking for.
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 girlfriend associates woody perfumes with something too dark or masculine because she mostly wears fresh florals - could a trio introduce a softer woody direction alongside scents closer to her existing taste?
The trio cannot do that, and the reason is its composition rather than its price. The SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed combination - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - with all three bottles in the single size you select, at ₹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 one at a time. Nawaab is published as the deepest of the four - white royal oud with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, and agarwood, leather, vetiver and amber around them - so the deep end of the range comes in the box regardless of pace. Nor is there a bottle in the trio that sits close to fresh florals: Adaa, the lightest of the four, is sold separately from ₹379 and is not part of the set. On the word she used: SOSA publishes all four attars as worn by anyone, and nothing on this page assigns a fragrance to a gender. What can be described is where a material sits. Sandalwood is a creamy, low, milky wood; cedarwood is dry and pencil-like; vetiver is a root, earthy and slightly grassy; oud, or agarwood, is a resinous heartwood and the strongest-smelling of the four. In Adaa the woods are at the bottom, under bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia and white musk. In Ameeri, at ₹385 in 3ml, Indian sandalwood and a soft oudh support Taif rose and Persian saffron. In Mastani, at ₹389, sandalwood and oudh sit under night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose with vanilla and tonka. Which of those she would find dark is not something SOSA publishes, and a 3ml at roughly 60 wears at one dab is how that gets answered by her rather than decided by you. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown developing after the first 30 minutes. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
The published set contains the deepest attar in the range. That makes it a box of three, not a ramp.
The quick version: the trio is not a gradient. It is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani at ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml, and Nawaab is published as the deepest of the four, so the deep end arrives with the box whether or not it is wanted. Adaa at ₹379 is the only attar where wood sits underneath rather than on top.

What has to be true before a first woody bottle makes sense
Three things have to be true before a first woody bottle is a sensible gift, and the published facts settle two of them outright. What the woods actually are, what the set actually contains, and where in the four bottles a wood is a floor rather than a headline.
01
The materials themselves
Four woods, four different jobs, and only one of them is the loud one
Woody is a category rather than a smell, and the four woods in this range behave very differently. Sandalwood is creamy, low and milky, and it usually sits at the bottom of a composition holding everything else up. Cedarwood is dry and sharp-edged, closer to a freshly sharpened pencil. Vetiver is not a wood at all but a root, earthy and a little grassy. Oud, also called agarwood, is a resinous heartwood and the most assertive of the four by a distance.
That distinction is doing all the work here. A composition can be full of sandalwood and still lead with a flower, and a composition with a small amount of oud in the base is a different object from one built on oud. So the useful question is not whether wood is present but where in the structure it has been placed.

A composition can be full of sandalwood and still lead with a flower, and a composition with a small amount of oud in the base is a different object from one built on oud.

Tip: Sandalwood under a flower and oud on top of everything are not the same experience.
02
What the published set contains
The trio is not a gradient - the deepest attar in the range is in it
The SOSA Attar Trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, in that fixed combination, with all three bottles in the one size you select - ₹1,055 for three 3ml, ₹1,859 for three 6ml and ₹3,189 for three 12ml. Nobody chooses the three, and there is no version of it arranged from light to deep.
Nawaab is published as the deepest attar SOSA makes: white royal oud leading, with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, and agarwood, leather, vetiver and amber around them. It is ₹399 in 3ml, ₹699 in 6ml and ₹1,199 in 12ml. So a box bought as a gentle introduction contains the far end of the range on day one. That may still be the gift you want - three things to try is a real offer - but it is not a graded one, and SOSA does not describe it as one.

03
Where a wood is a floor
Adaa is the one composition of the four in which the wood is underneath
Read the four published note lists in order and one of them is structurally different. Adaa runs bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood - citrus and blossom on top, with the woods arriving last and low. It is ₹379 in 3ml, ₹669 in 6ml and ₹1,149 in 12ml, and it is the lightest of the four.
Next along, Ameeri keeps the same shape but raises the volume: Taif rose and Persian saffron lead, Indian sandalwood and a soft oudh support, amber and white musk close. At ₹385 in 3ml it is a floral composition with wood beneath it rather than a woody one with a flower on top. Mastani does something similar with night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka, at ₹389. Two of those three sit inside the trio; Adaa does not.

Tip: If the wood should be a floor rather than a subject, the range has exactly one bottle built that way.
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.

Work it out in this order
How to choose a first woody bottle without guessing
- Name the material, not the family. Sandalwood and oud are not one thing.
- Ask where it sits. Under a flower is a different bottle from on top.
- Check the set. The trio holds Nawaab, published as the deepest of four.
- Buy one 3ml: Adaa at Rs 379 or Ameeri at Rs 385, and let her wear it.
The SOSA principle
Somebody who says a whole family is not for them has usually met one loud example of it, not four quiet ones. The useful gift names the material and places it, rather than arguing.
And it does that with one bottle at a time, because a box that contains the deep end of the range is not a slow introduction.
The woods in this range, named and placed
Placed side by side, the four make the spread obvious. Adaa - bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver, cedarwood: the woods are the last thing you reach and they are dry rather than resinous. Ameeri - Taif rose, Persian saffron, Indian sandalwood, a soft oudh, amber, white musk: a floral lead over a creamy wood, with the oud published as soft rather than as the subject. Mastani - night-blooming jasmine, Damask rose, Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla, tonka: floral on top, a warm base underneath. Nawaab - white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood, aged tobacco leaf, agarwood, leather, vetiver, amber: the wood is the whole composition, and SOSA publishes it as the deepest of the four. Where any individual's line falls across that spread is not something SOSA publishes, and nothing here pretends otherwise.
The SOSA gift edit
Four purchases, and the honest failure of each
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| Adaa, 3ml at ₹379 | The only bottle of the four with the woods beneath a citrus and blossom top, and the lightest in the range. Where it fails: as an introduction to wood it is almost too quiet - cedarwood and vetiver at the bottom of a fresh composition may never present themselves as woody at all. |
| Ameeri, 3ml at ₹385 | A floral lead - Taif rose and Persian saffron - with Indian sandalwood and a soft oudh underneath, so the wood is structural rather than the subject. Where it fails: there is still oudh in it, and SOSA publishes nothing about where any person's tolerance for that sits. Roughly 60 wears is what settles it. |
| The published trio, 3 x 3ml at ₹1,055 | Three evening compositions in one gift-ready box, and cheaper than those three bottles bought one at a time. Where it fails: it contains Nawaab, published as the deepest of the four, so it is a box of three rather than a staged introduction - and there is no light bottle in it. |
| Nawaab on its own, 3ml at ₹399 | White royal oud with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, and the deepest thing SOSA publishes. Where it fails: as a first woody bottle for somebody who has already described woods as too dark, it starts the conversation at the far end rather than at the beginning. |
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 →
One note on how an attar behaves, because it changes what a first woody bottle is like to wear. These are concentrated oils with a built-in dab applicator, so the wearer sets the quantity, one dab at a time, and the published instruction is to dab on pulse points rather than rub. The drydown develops after the first 30 minutes, which matters here more than usual: in a composition where wood sits in the base, the first half hour is the part that is not woody yet. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, and a 3ml runs to roughly 60 wears at one dab. All four are alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant and skin-safe, carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, hand-blended in Pune. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin rather than fabric.
₹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.
Nobody rejects sandalwood. They reject the one loud woody thing they met, and then the whole shelf inherits the verdict.
— 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
Does the SOSA trio work as a gentle introduction to woody scents?
No, not as a graded one. The trio is a fixed set of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, and SOSA publishes Nawaab as the deepest of its four attars - white royal oud with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf. So the deepest bottle in the range is in the box from the start. It is three things to try, but it is not arranged from light to deep.
Which SOSA attar has the least assertive wood in it?
Adaa, on the published note lists. Its list runs bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood, so the woods arrive last and sit under a citrus and blossom top. It is Rs 379 in 3ml, Rs 669 in 6ml and Rs 1,149 in 12ml, and it is sold on its own rather than inside the trio.
Are any of these attars published as being for men or for women?
SOSA publishes all four as worn by anyone, and no fragrance is assigned to a gender here. What the product pages do support is a description of the composition - which material leads, which supports, and where the wood sits - and that is what this page uses instead.
What is the difference between sandalwood, cedarwood, vetiver and oud?
They are four separate materials. Sandalwood is creamy, low and milky. Cedarwood is dry, closer to a sharpened pencil. Vetiver is a root rather than a wood, earthy and a little grassy. Oud, or agarwood, is a resinous heartwood and by far the most assertive of the four. A bottle with sandalwood in the base is a very different object from one built on oud.
If I buy one attar rather than the trio, what does it cost?
Each attar is sold on its own page at its own price. In 3ml, Adaa is Rs 379. Ameeri is Rs 385. Mastani is Rs 389. Nawaab is Rs 399. In 12ml the four are Rs 1,149, Rs 1,165, Rs 1,179 and Rs 1,199, in that same order. The trio price applies only to Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani bought together in one size.
Take the next step
A first woody bottle is a choice of one bottle, made with your eyes open
Adaa at ₹379 in 3ml when the wood should be a floor rather than a subject - cedarwood and vetiver sit under bergamot, neroli, jasmine sambac and white musk. Ameeri at ₹385 in 3ml when a floral lead over Indian sandalwood and a soft oudh is the step you want to offer. The published trio at ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml when three evening compositions at once is genuinely the gift, remembering that Nawaab, the deepest of the four, comes with it. And a 12ml only once a direction has stopped being a question. Tell SOSA what she wears now on WhatsApp.

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.
