Founder Diaries · New Business Scenting
How much will fragrance refills cost every month for a showroom? It depends on your trading hours and intensity, so measure rather than guess. Track how far the tank drops over your first few weeks of trading, then budget refills from that. Refills are Rs 1,049 (100g) or Rs 1,849 (300g) for single scents, and Rs 1,099 or Rs 1,899 for hotel-inspired blends.
What else should a showroom scenting budget include? Reed diffusers for any room you keep closed, such as a consultation cabin or washroom (from Rs 749 each), and your own contractor's time if you want the machine wall-mounted. Electricity is negligible: the machine is rated at 5W.

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).

How much should I budget for a commercial fragrance machine and initial refills when opening a new 1,000-square-foot showroom?
Fragrance is usually the last line in a fit-out budget and the first one cut. It should not be, because the numbers are small next to the interiors, the signage and the AC - and most of them are knowable. For a 1,000 sq ft single-floor showroom, here is what the machine, the first oils and the closed rooms actually cost, and the one number nobody should invent for you: how fast you will use oil.
Quick answers — read this first
How much does a commercial fragrance machine cost for a 1,000 sq ft showroom? One SOSA Vaayu covers a 1,000 sq ft single-floor showroom: Rs 12,499 with the SOSA Originals set or Rs 12,999 with a hotel-inspired set, each including four 100ml oils, a full 400ml first tank. Add a 300g spare refill (Rs 1,849, or Rs 1,899 for hotel-inspired blends) and a starter kit is about Rs 14,348-14,898.How much will fragrance refills cost every month for a showroom?

The short answer
Short answer: budget one SOSA Vaayu (Rs 12,499 Originals / Rs 12,999 hotel-inspired, full first tank included) plus a 300g spare refill (Rs 1,849-1,899) - about Rs 14,348-14,898 - and reeds from Rs 749 for closed rooms; estimate ongoing refills by tracking the tank over your first weeks.
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
How much should I budget for a commercial fragrance machine and initial refills when opening a new 1,000 sq ft showroom?
Budget about ₹14,348 to ₹14,898 for the machine and a launch-week spare, plus reeds for closed rooms. First, the size check: 1,000 sq ft is about 93 m²; at a 10 ft ceiling that is about 283 m³, and at 12 ft about 340 m³ - well inside one SOSA Vaayu's 1000m³ rating. One machine, not two. The machine: ₹12,499 with the SOSA Originals set or ₹12,999 with a hotel-inspired set. Either way the box holds four 100ml oils - a full 400ml first tank - so the first fill is already paid for. The spare: a 300g waterless refill at ₹1,849 (single scents) or ₹1,899 (hotel-inspired blends), so you never run dry in launch week. That gives ₹12,499 + ₹1,849 = ₹14,348, or ₹12,999 + ₹1,899 = ₹14,898. Closed rooms: the Vaayu scents the floor it sits on, so a consultation cabin, trial room or washroom kept shut gets a reed diffuser (from ₹749). Two reeds at ₹749 and ₹799 add ₹1,548. The number I will not invent: how fast you use oil. On typical home scheduling the oils in the box run for about a year; all-day commercial use at higher intensity uses them faster, and by how much depends on your hours and setting. Track the tank level over your first few weeks and budget refills from what you measure. Volume pricing for multiple stores is available from SOSA on enquiry. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
One line: one SOSA Vaayu plus a 300g spare is about Rs 14,348-14,898 for a 1,000 sq ft showroom; reeds from Rs 749 for closed rooms; measure your own oil use before budgeting refills.
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.

What goes into a launch scenting budget
Three lines make up a launch scenting budget: the machine sized to the floor, the oil that keeps it running through launch, and the rooms the machine cannot reach. A fourth - ongoing refills - you measure rather than guess.
1
Size first, then price
1,000 sq ft is one Vaayu
1,000 sq ft multiplied by 0.0929 is about 93 m²; multiply by the ceiling height in metres (10 ft is 3.05 m) and you have about 283 m³ of air. A Vaayu is rated for up to 1000m³, about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft, so a single 1,000 sq ft floor is comfortably one machine at ₹12,499 or ₹12,999. Two machines only make sense if the showroom is on two floors - one machine per floor. A floor large enough to need central-AC scenting would point to SOSA Angaan (₹25,999, about 8,000 to 10,000 sq ft), which a 1,000 sq ft showroom does not need.
Tip: Two floors means two machines; one 1,000 sq ft floor means one.
2
Price the closed rooms and the spare
What the machine cannot reach
Doors stop scent. A consultation cabin, trial room, store room or washroom kept closed needs its own reed diffuser: Morning Freshness ₹749, Garden Bloom or Evening Calm ₹799, Mountain Breeze ₹849. Add a 300g refill as your launch-week spare (₹1,849 single scent, ₹1,899 hotel-inspired blend), in the same scent as your first fill so the signature never changes. If you want the machine on a wall or at an HVAC return, budget your own contractor's time; SOSA's set-up help is guidance by WhatsApp. And use only SOSA waterless oils - reed oil, ultrasonic fragrance and thick essential oils clog the machine, which makes them an expensive saving.
3
Measure the running cost
Track the tank, then budget
Oil use depends on your hours, your days and your intensity, so any fixed monthly figure would be a guess. What is known: on typical home scheduling the oils in the box run for about a year, and all-day commercial use at higher intensity uses oil faster. So note the tank level when you start, check it at the same time each week through your first few weeks of trading, and you will have your own figure to budget refills against (100g ₹1,049, 300g ₹1,849). Power is negligible: the machine is rated at 5W, so eight hours a day for thirty days is about 1.2 units of electricity.
Tip: mark the tank on day one and check it weekly - your own number beats anyone's estimate.
The SOSA principle
The launch budget is knowable: one machine, one spare, a reed per closed room. The running cost is yours to measure - in your first weeks, with your own hours.
Vaayu Rs 12,499 + 300g refill Rs 1,849 = Rs 14,348 (or Rs 12,999 + Rs 1,899 = Rs 14,898 with hotel-inspired oils). Reeds from Rs 749. Volume pricing for multiple stores on enquiry.

| Closed rooms · reed diffusers | From Rs 749 each; two reeds (Rs 749 + Rs 799) add Rs 1,548. |

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
What is the total starter cost for scenting a 1,000 sq ft showroom with SOSA?
About Rs 14,348 with the SOSA Originals set (Vaayu Rs 12,499 plus a 300g refill at Rs 1,849), or about Rs 14,898 with hotel-inspired oils (Rs 12,999 plus Rs 1,899). Add a reed diffuser from Rs 749 for each room you keep closed.
Does SOSA Vaayu come with fragrance oil?
Yes. The box includes four 100ml oils, which fill the 400ml tank once: Vetiver, Mahogany Shea, Lemongrass and Sandalwood with the Originals set, or one of the hotel-inspired sets of four.
How long will the oils last in a showroom?
SOSA publishes no fixed commercial figure. On typical home scheduling the oils in the box run for about a year; all-day commercial use at higher intensity uses oil faster. Track the tank over your first few weeks of trading to set your own refill budget.
How much electricity does the machine use?
Very little. SOSA Vaayu runs on a DC 12V/1A adapter rated at 5W, so eight hours a day for thirty days is about 1.2 units. It also runs on an inverter.
Is there a discount for buying machines for several showrooms?
Volume pricing for chains and multiple stores is available from SOSA on enquiry; SOSA does not publish volume prices. Contact SOSA on WhatsApp (+91 96192 18531) or by email for a written quotation.
