Let me clear up two things
✕
"Any car scent will do." Not in a hot Indian cabin - cheap synthetics turn heavy and headachey. Real materials suit the space and the person far better.

A note from Sonal
This whole range began with my mother, who gets carsick - most car perfumes made it worse. As a perfumer trained at ISIPCA in Versailles, I wanted to make a car scent that was clean, real and did not trigger a headache.
So SOSA car perfumes are built from real materials, non-toxic and phthalate-free, and calibrated for Indian conditions - a car cabin can hit 70°C in summer, which wrecks cheap synthetic fragrance. Each scent comes as a strong-throw Spray or a mild Hanging format, so you choose the intensity - the fragrance is the same.
I would rather you knew exactly what you are buying: a perfumer's car scent that smells real, lasts, and does not give you a headache on the drive. A little of every order goes to girl-child education.
