Yes, and I want to reassure you properly, because this worry stops people from giving one of the best gifts they could. You do not need to know someone's favourite scent to give them fragrance for their home. You just need to choose the right kind of gift, and I will show you exactly how.
Give the SOSA Garden Bloom Reed Diffuser at ₹799. Rose and night-blooming jasmine is a warm, classic combination that almost nobody dislikes, so it is the safe choice when you cannot ask and cannot guess.
Why a diffuser is the forgiving choice
Here is the reassurance you came for. A perfume goes on someone's skin and becomes part of who they are, so if you misjudge their taste it is very obvious. A home diffuser is completely different: it makes a room smell pleasant, and "pleasant" is a much wider target than "their signature scent". You are not trying to match their personality; you are simply giving their home a lovely atmosphere, and that is far harder to get wrong.
Within that, the safest single scent is rose and jasmine, which is exactly what Garden Bloom is. It is warm, classic and widely loved across ages and genders, and it suits almost any home. A reed diffuser is also flame-free and passive, so it is safe in any household, including one with children or elders. That combination, a loved scent plus a safe device, is why I hand people Garden Bloom when they tell me they know nothing about the recipient's taste.

The clever alternate: let them choose
If you would rather not guess the scent at all, give the machine and hand the choice to the recipient. The SOSA Boond Ultrasonic Cool Mist Diffuser at ₹899 comes with a hotel-inspired fragrance to start and works with any SOSA ultrasonic fragrance afterwards, so they can pick what they love. It is the perfect solution when you want the gift to feel considered while keeping the taste decision entirely in their hands.
₹899SOSA Boond Ultrasonic Diffuser — give the machine, let them pick the fragrance. Comes with a hotel-inspired scent.And if you want to go premium while staying safe, the SOSA Safar waterless diffuser at ₹3,999 or the SOSA Megh at ₹3,499 are both taste-agnostic in the sense that they are hardware; the fragrance is easily changed, so the recipient is never stuck with a scent they did not choose.
An honest note
The one time to be careful is a strong, polarising scent, an intense oud, a heavy gourmand, when you are shopping blind. Those are wonderful for someone whose taste you know, but risky as a guess. Stick to rose-jasmine or a clean, fresh scent, or hand them the choice, and you genuinely cannot go wrong.
