1
Alcohol-free
A concentrated perfume oil
A true attar is alcohol-free - a concentrated oil that sits close to the skin and unfolds slowly, gentle enough for daily wear and suited to alcohol-free preferences. From ₹379.
2
Long-lasting
A little goes a long way
Because it is concentrated oil, a single dab on the pulse points lasts for hours and leaves a soft, personal trail - no heavy spray needed. Roll-on, easy to carry.
Tip: dab on wrists and neck; do not rub hard.
3
Traditional Indian notes
Rose, oud, saffron, jasmine, sandalwood
SOSA attars are built on classic Indian notes - Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, white oud, saffron, jasmine sambac - crafted by an ISIPCA-trained perfumer. Made in India.
The SOSA principle
A true attar is oil, not alcohol — worn close, lasting long.
Built on classic Indian notes and worn as a single dab, an attar is an intimate, personal scent with centuries of craft behind it - a world away from a loud alcohol spray.

The SOSA attar collection
SOSA attars are alcohol-free, oil-based roll-ons crafted by ISIPCA Versailles-trained perfumer Sonal Sahani, built on classic Indian notes and made in India. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali. These are the ones to know.
SOSA attar roll-ons
Alcohol-free traditional attars — rose, oud, saffron, jasmine, sandalwood
I trained as a perfumer at ISIPCA in Versailles, but some of the scents I love most are the ones I grew up with in India - the attars. Rose, oud, saffron, jasmine, sandalwood: warm, deep notes worn close to the skin, with centuries of craft behind them.
So I built SOSA's attars in that spirit - alcohol-free, oil-based roll-ons on classic Indian notes, made to last from a single dab. Ameeri, Nawaab, Mastani and Adaa each tell a different story, and they are meant to feel personal and grown-up, not loud.
One honest note: attars are concentrated, so a little is plenty - and because natural materials like rose and oud can occasionally react on sensitive skin, it is worth a small patch test with any new fragrance.

Facts verified July 2026: Attar (ittar) is a traditional Indian perfume oil, alcohol-free and concentrated, historically made by hydro-distillation (the deg-bhapka method) in Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh - the perfume capital of India - capturing flower essence in a sandalwood-oil base; Kannauj Perfume holds a Geographical Indication (GI) tag awarded in 2014. SOSA attars are alcohol-free, oil-based roll-ons built on classic Indian notes (Ameeri, Nawaab, Mastani, Adaa), crafted by an ISIPCA-trained perfumer, priced from ₹379, made in India.
