Founder Diaries · New Business Scenting
What is a realistic fragrance equipment budget for a two-floor store? Using live prices: two SOSA Vaayu machines with the Originals set (2 x Rs 12,499 = Rs 24,998), two 300g spare refills (2 x Rs 1,849 = Rs 3,698) and two reeds for closed rooms (2 x Rs 749 = Rs 1,498) total Rs 30,194, before contractor labour. With hotel-inspired sets and blends it is Rs 31,294.
How much will the owner spend on refills each year? SOSA publishes no daily consumption figure for commercial use. The oils in the box last about a year on typical home scheduling; all-day commercial use at higher intensity uses oil faster. Track the tank for the first month, then set the allowance. A 300g refill (Rs 1,849) costs less than three 100g refills (Rs 3,147).

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 do I estimate the total fragrance equipment and refill budget for a premium retail interior project before handing it over to the business owner?
Fragrance often appears in a fit-out budget as a single round number, or not at all. Then the owner discovers the refill cost a month after opening. A designer can do better by building it as a proper line: equipment that is fixed and known, labour that belongs to the contractor, and a running cost that the owner will carry, estimated honestly rather than guessed. Here is how to build it, with a worked example from live prices.
Quick answers — read this first
How do I budget fragrance for a premium retail fit-out? Build five lines: machines (one SOSA Vaayu per floor up to 1000m3, from Rs 12,499), a spare refill for launch (300g Rs 1,849), reeds for closed rooms (from Rs 749), electrical and mounting labour from your contractor, and a refill allowance the owner carries, estimated after a tracked first month. Use live prices and get a written quote from SOSA for multiple units.What is a realistic fragrance equipment budget for a two-floor store? Using live prices: two SOSA Vaayu machines with the Originals set (2 x Rs 12,499 = Rs 24,998), two 300g spare refills (2 x Rs 1,849 = Rs 3,698) and two reeds for closed rooms (2 x Rs 749 = Rs 1,498) total Rs 30,194, before contractor labour. With hotel-inspired sets and blends it is Rs 31,294.

The short answer
Short answer: budget five lines: one SOSA Vaayu per floor (from Rs 12,499), a 300g launch refill (Rs 1,849), reeds for closed rooms (from Rs 749), contractor electrical and mounting, and an owner refill allowance set after a tracked first month. Two floors: about Rs 30,194 in equipment before labour.
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 do I estimate the fragrance equipment and refill budget for a premium retail project before handover?
Build it as five lines. 1. Machines: one SOSA Vaayu per floor up to its 1000m³ rating, ₹12,499 with the SOSA Originals set or ₹12,999 with a hotel-inspired set (four 100ml oils, a full first tank). Very large central-AC floors use Angaan (₹25,999) or Meenar (₹38,500). 2. Launch spare: one 300g waterless refill per machine (₹1,849; hotel-inspired blends ₹1,899) so the signature never runs out in opening week. 3. Closed rooms: a reed diffuser per trial room, cabin or washroom, from ₹749. 4. Labour: socket, circuit and mounting from your electrician and contractor, priced by them; SOSA's set-up help is WhatsApp guidance, not on-site work. 5. Owner refill allowance: not a fixed number yet. SOSA publishes no daily consumption figure; all-day commercial use at higher intensity uses oil faster than home use. Ask the owner to track the tank for the first month, then set the allowance. Worked example, two floors of about 1,400 sq ft at 11 ft (about 436 m³ each): 2 x ₹12,499 = ₹24,998; 2 x 300g refills = ₹3,698; 2 reeds at ₹749 = ₹1,498; total ₹30,194 before labour (₹31,294 with hotel-inspired sets and blends). Prices change, so use the live pages, and ask SOSA on WhatsApp for a written quote when several units are involved; volume pricing is on enquiry. Put the refill link and SOSA contact in the handover pack. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
One line: machines by floor, a 300g launch spare, reeds for closed rooms, contractor labour, and a refill allowance set after a tracked first month. Two floors from about Rs 30,194 in equipment. Vaayu from Rs 12,499.
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.
from ₹12,499
The five lines of a fragrance budget
A fragrance budget has a fixed part you can price today, a labour part your contractors price, and a running part only the first month of trading can measure. Keep them separate in the handover.
1
Equipment
Count floors and closed doors
Machines follow floors and volume: sq ft x 0.0929 x ceiling height in metres. 1,400 sq ft at 11 ft is about 436 m³, inside one Vaayu; a second floor is a second machine. Reeds follow closed doors: one per trial room, cabin or washroom, Morning Freshness at ₹749, Garden Bloom or Evening Calm at ₹799, Mountain Breeze at ₹849. Do not over-specify: a small single-room store may need only reeds, and two machines on one 1,200 sq ft floor would be wasted money.
Tip: one machine per floor, one reed per closed door - then stop.
2
Labour and launch spare
The lines people forget
Add the electrician and contractor line: a dedicated socket at mounting height, any inverter circuit, and the wall or HVAC-return mount. That is priced by them, not by SOSA. Then add a launch spare: one 300g refill per machine in the same oil as the first fill. Buying 300g at ₹1,849 is cheaper than three 100g refills (3 x ₹1,049 = ₹3,147); for hotel-inspired blends, ₹1,899 against 3 x ₹1,099 = ₹3,297. The spare sits in the stockroom so the signature never lapses in opening week.

The owner's running cost
Measure it, then budget it
The refill allowance belongs to the owner, and it should be estimated from evidence. The oils in the box last about a year on typical home scheduling; a store running all day at higher intensity will use oil faster, and SOSA publishes no daily figure. So put a simple instruction in the handover pack: note the tank level weekly for the first month, at the intensity and hours the store actually uses, and set the refill cadence from that. Starting low helps; staff stop noticing the scent within minutes and tend to turn it up, which costs oil and comfort.
Tip: track the tank weekly for the first month; that number, not a guess, sets the refill budget.
The SOSA principle
Price what is fixed, let contractors price what is labour, and measure what is running. A refill budget set after one tracked month is worth more than any estimate made before opening.
Two floors: 2 x Vaayu Rs 24,998 + 2 x 300g refills Rs 3,698 + 2 reeds Rs 1,498 = Rs 30,194 before labour (Rs 31,294 with hotel-inspired sets and blends). Volume pricing for more units on enquiry.

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 should a fragrance budget for a retail fit-out include?
Machines by floor and volume, a spare launch refill per machine, reeds for closed rooms, contractor labour for sockets and mounting, and a refill allowance the owner carries, estimated after a tracked first month.
How much do two SOSA Vaayu machines cost?
2 x Rs 12,499 = Rs 24,998 with the SOSA Originals set, or 2 x Rs 12,999 = Rs 25,998 with hotel-inspired sets. Each includes four 100ml oils. For more units, ask SOSA for a written quote; volume pricing is on enquiry.
Is a 300g refill better value than 100g?
Yes. A 300g single-scent refill is Rs 1,849, against Rs 3,147 for three 100g refills at Rs 1,049. For hotel-inspired blends, 300g is Rs 1,899 against Rs 3,297 for three 100g.
How do I estimate yearly refill costs for a store?
Track it. SOSA publishes no daily consumption figure; all-day commercial use at higher intensity uses oil faster than home use. Note the tank level weekly for the first month at real hours and intensity, then set the refill cadence.
Does SOSA's price include installation?
No on-site installation is included. Set-up takes about ten minutes and SOSA guides it by WhatsApp. Socket, circuit and mounting work are priced by your own electrician or contractor.
