Does the trio move him away from oud? No, and that is the fact to get straight before you order. All three bottles in the box publish oudh in their own note lists, so this is a move sideways and upward rather than a retreat. SOSA publishes Nawaab as the deepest of the four attars, which means a third of the box goes further in, not gentler.
What if the point is oud out of it altogether? Then the box is the wrong purchase and the range holds exactly one answer. Adaa publishes bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood - woods, but no oud anywhere in the list. Adaa is ₹379 in 3ml, ₹669 in 6ml and ₹1,149 in 12ml, and it is not in the trio.

Somebody who reaches for oud every time is not really choosing a note. He is choosing a weight. Oud is a resinous wood and in a composition it works as a base - the thing underneath that carries the length, while everything anybody actually notices first is sitting on top of it. Which means the useful move here is not finding him oud with the volume turned down. It is keeping the base he keeps buying and changing what stands on it. Published note lists let you do that with some precision, and they are also the only honest material anybody has: what he makes of any particular bottle is not something a fragrance house publishes, and this page is not going to pretend otherwise.
The set most of these questions arrive at, and the one fact most of them get wrong: it is a fixed combination. The SOSA Attar Trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 in 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 in 3 x 12ml, against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 bought singly. All three bottles come in the size you pick, Adaa is not in it, and nobody chooses the three. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle.
Quick answers — read this first
What sits next to oud without leaving it? Different materials over the same kind of base. The SOSA Attar Trio is ₹1,055 for three 3ml bottles. Ameeri puts Taif rose and Persian saffron over Indian sandalwood, amber and a measured oudh. Mastani puts night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka. Nawaab is white royal oud led, with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf. Same territory underneath, three different things above it.Does the trio move him away from oud?

The short answer
Short answer: Oud is a base, not a direction. The SOSA Attar Trio is Rs 1,055 in 3 x 3ml, Rs 1,859 in 3 x 6ml and Rs 3,189 in 3 x 12ml, and all three bottles publish oudh, so what changes is what sits above it. The one attar with no oud in its published notes is Adaa, from Rs 379, and it is sold on its own.
The pick: The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when the base can stay and the top is what should change, and Adaa from ₹379 when the point is a bottle with no oud in it at all.
Why: All three bottles in the box publish oudh, so the trio gives variety across ground he already buys rather than a move out of it. Adaa, the only one of the four publishing no oud, is sold separately from ₹379.
In this guide
Knowing somebody's signature fragrance is more information than most gift buyers have, and it still does not answer the question, because the next bottle is not the same bottle. What three small attars buy you is evidence rather than a guess - three things to put on skin over a week. What the published trio is not is a set you assemble: it is one fixed combination of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, in whichever single size you choose. And no page can tell you what anybody will make of any of them.

Straight answer
My boyfriend gravitates toward oud every time he buys fragrance, and I want to give him something different without moving completely away from the richness he enjoys - what adjacent directions could work?
Adjacent is the right word, and the range makes it unusually easy to be literal about it. Oud is a base material, so two oud fragrances can be almost nothing alike above the base. The SOSA Attar Trio is ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 in 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 in 3 x 12ml, against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 for the same bottles bought singly. It holds Ameeri - Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, Persian saffron, a measured oudh and amber; Mastani - night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka; and Nawaab - white royal oud with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, which SOSA publishes as the deepest of the four. Three published oudh bases, three completely different things standing on them. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, the drydown develops after the first thirty minutes, and a 3ml runs to roughly 60 wears at one dab. Now the limits, because they decide this purchase. The trio is one fixed combination - nobody selects the three, all three bottles come in the one size you pick, and Adaa is not in it. The variety in this box runs sideways and upward, never downward, so if adjacent means lighter, the box is wrong and Adaa on its own from ₹379 is the straight answer. And which of the three he ends up dabbing most is not information SOSA has, which is exactly why three small bottles beat one confident guess. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
Oud is the floor he keeps buying. Three bottles change what stands on it, and none of them takes it away.
The quick version: the 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when the oud base can stay and the top is what should change, 3 x 6ml at ₹1,859 or 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 when you expect all three to be worn rather than sorted through, a single 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 when the direction is already settled, and Adaa from ₹379 when the point is no oud at all.
The SOSA Attar Trio from ₹1,055
Three things to work out before you decide what adjacent means
The word doing the work in your question is adjacent, and it has two meanings that pull in opposite directions - lighter, or simply elsewhere. The range answers one of them well and the other not at all, so it is worth settling which you meant before you look at a price.
01
What the pattern tells you
Repeat purchases tell you the weight, not the top
A shelf of oud bottles is real evidence and it is worth being precise about what kind. Oud is a resinous wood that works as a base, so what those bottles have in common is depth, length and a certain heaviness - not a shared top. What the pattern does not tell you is which of the many things that can stand on an oud base he has actually tried, because a repeat purchase is a decision not to run the experiment. He found something acceptable and stopped looking, which is sensible behaviour and a poor guide to what comes next. The gap is not information about him. It is a week in which three unfamiliar bottles are on his own wrist, and that is a thing only he can supply.
Tip: A repeat purchase is a decision not to experiment. That is the gap worth interrupting.
02
What the box actually is
One fixed combination, and oudh published in all three of them
This is the fact that most versions of this question get wrong, so plainly: the SOSA Attar Trio is one published combination - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - and every bottle in it comes in the single size you select. ₹1,055 for three 3ml, ₹1,859 for three 6ml, ₹3,189 for three 12ml. It is not assembled around a person and it cannot be recomposed. Adaa, the fourth attar, is sold separately from ₹379, and SOSA's own page states that a different three, or three sizes, means buying the bottles one at a time at full price. The useful part for you is that all three published note lists carry oudh, so the box is not a departure from what he buys - it is three different treatments of it.
03
The direction of travel
Sideways and upward, and at no point downward
Be careful with the word different here, because the box only moves in certain directions. Nawaab is published as the deepest of the four - white royal oud with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf - so one bottle in the set goes further in than most oud purchases, not less far. Ameeri and Mastani move laterally, into rose and saffron and into night jasmine with vanilla and tonka. Nothing in the box is a gentler version of anything. If gentler is what you meant, that is Adaa on its own, bought at full price, and not this set. And on size: a 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab, which is enough to wear something on an ordinary Tuesday rather than sniff it once. SOSA publishes no wear figure for the 6ml or the 12ml, so nobody should be scaling that number up.
Tip: If adjacent meant lighter rather than elsewhere, this is the wrong box and the page should say so.
The bottle the trio does not contain
Adaa, and why it matters to half these questions
SOSA publishes four attars. Three of them are in the trio and one is not. Adaa - bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac and white musk - is published as the lightest of the four and a daytime attar, and it is sold on its own at ₹379 in 3ml, ₹669 in 6ml and ₹1,149 in 12ml. That matters because the trio page itself lists a reason not to buy the trio: it is an evening set of depth, warmth and floral, and somebody who wears bright, light, citrus-led fragrance is not the buyer for it. If what you know about their taste is that it is fresh, the honest route is Adaa rather than the box - and if you want Adaa alongside two others, that is three individual bottles at full price, because the trio cannot be recomposed.
See Adaa from ₹379 →
Work it out in this order
Settle these in order and the price question answers itself
- Decide whether adjacent means lighter, or simply somewhere else entirely.
- Read the note lists. All three in the box publish oudh; Adaa publishes none.
- If the base stays, the box is the sideways move at Rs 1,055 in 3 x 3ml.
- If the base goes, that is Adaa on its own from Rs 379, bought separately.
The SOSA principle
Two oud fragrances can share a base and share almost nothing else. That is the entire opportunity here.
Which is why the honest gift is three published note lists on skin, and not a fourth guess by you.
What each bottle publishes, and which one is the actual break
Take the three bottles as three treatments of the same territory. Ameeri is the warm one: real Taif rose and Persian saffron over Indian sandalwood, with a measured oudh underneath and amber and white musk in the base. Nawaab is the deep one, and SOSA publishes it as the deepest of the four: white royal oud led, dry rather than sugared, with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, and agarwood, leather, vetiver and amber behind them. Mastani is the floral one, with a base under it rather than air: night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka. The fourth attar is the only genuine break. Adaa publishes bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood, and no oud at all; it is sold on its own and is not part of the set.
The SOSA gift edit
The four things competing for this budget, and where each one gives out
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| Another oud-led bottle, chosen by you | The default, and the reason you are reading this. It adds a fourth version of a decision he has already made three times, and it puts the entire budget on one guess about materials he has never tried. |
| The SOSA Attar Trio, 3 x 3ml at ₹1,055 | Three published oudh bases with three different compositions above them, at roughly 60 wears each. Honest limits: the three are fixed, it is published as an evening set, and none of the three is lighter than what he owns. |
| Nawaab on its own, 12ml at ₹1,199 | The opposite bet. One bottle, the deepest of the four, in the largest published size - depth rather than breadth. The right call only if you already know the direction, and a waste of the money if the point was to widen the field. |
| Adaa on its own, from ₹379 | The only bottle in the range that publishes no oud: bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver, cedarwood. It is the real break from his pattern, which also makes it the biggest jump and the one furthest from what he keeps buying. |
What the three sizes actually buy you
3ml, 6ml or 12ml - and roughly sixty wears in the smallest
All three trio tiers contain the same three attars; the only variable is how much of each. ₹1,055 buys 3 x 3ml, and the published figure for a 3ml is roughly 60 wears at one dab - which is the number that makes a discovery gift a real one rather than a set of samples, because it is enough to wear a scent on an ordinary Tuesday and not just sniff it in a shop. ₹1,859 buys 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 buys 3 x 12ml, the largest published size of each. Against the same bottles bought singly those are savings of ₹118, ₹204 and ₹354. The trio ships with all three bottles in the same size - there is no mixed-size set, and SOSA states that mixing sizes means buying the three individually and losing the trio price.
See the SOSA Attar Trio from ₹1,055 →
The format decides more of these purchases than the notes do, so here is the whole of what SOSA publishes about it. All four attars are alcohol-free and DPG-free, carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, IFRA-compliant, skin-safe and hand-blended in small batches in Pune by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles trained. Each bottle has a built-in dab applicator, and the published instruction is to dab on pulse points and not to rub. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin and not straight onto fabric. Wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown developing after the first thirty minutes. The trio's three bottles come in a single gift-ready box, which is the only presentation SOSA publishes; beyond that, custom label or logo on product is the one branding option.
₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 in 3 x 6ml, ₹3,189 in 3 x 12ml. Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - the same three every time, all in the size you pick, in one gift-ready box.
from ₹1,055
₹379, ₹669 and ₹1,149. Bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, white musk. The lightest of the four and the one the trio does not contain - the honest answer whenever the question is a fresh or daytime one.
from ₹379
₹1,149 to ₹1,199 for a single 12ml. The alternative to the trio when you already know the direction and the useful thing is depth in one bottle rather than breadth across three.
from ₹1,149
One message, one honest recommendation
Tell SOSA what they already wear, anything they have said they dislike, whether this is a first attar or an addition, and what you want to spend - and you will be told which size and which bottles, including the times the honest answer is Adaa on its own from ₹379 rather than the trio.
He keeps buying the floor. Nobody has yet put three different things on top of it and let him decide.
— Sonal Sahani, SOSA
The SOSA gifting range
Two questions settle almost every attar gift where you already know what they wear, and the first one is not price. Are you buying breadth or depth? Breadth means three bottles to put on skin over a week, which is what the published trio is for; depth means one 12ml in a direction you are already confident about. Then: does what you know about their taste sit inside what the trio actually contains? The trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - warm rose and saffron, white royal oud, and night-jasmine with Damask rose. It has no light, fresh or citrus-led bottle in it, because Adaa is the lightest of the four and is sold separately from ₹379. Price follows those two answers rather than leading them.
The SOSA range, sorted by how much it asks of the person receiving it
Start from what the gift demands, not from what it costs
| Product | What it is | What it is for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOSA Attar Trio - 3 x 3ml | Three to smell, not one to guess | ₹1,055 for Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani in 3ml each, against ₹1,173 bought singly. The published figure for a 3ml is roughly 60 wears at one dab - enough to actually live with a scent rather than sniff it | ₹1,055 |
| SOSA Attar Trio - 3 x 6ml | The middle size | ₹1,859 against ₹2,063 bought singly. The same three attars; the trio ships with all three bottles in the same size | ₹1,859 |
| SOSA Attar Trio - 3 x 12ml | Three full bottles | ₹3,189 against ₹3,543 bought singly. The largest published size of each, in one gift-ready box | ₹3,189 |
| Adaa - 3ml, 6ml, 12ml | The lightest in the range | ₹379, ₹669 and ₹1,149. Bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac and white musk. Adaa is not in the trio - SOSA publishes it as the daytime attar and sells it separately | from ₹379 |
| Ameeri - 3ml, 6ml, 12ml | Warm, rose and saffron led | ₹385, ₹679 and ₹1,165. Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, Persian saffron, a measured oudh and amber | from ₹385 |
| Mastani - 3ml, 6ml, 12ml | Floral depth | ₹389, ₹685 and ₹1,179. Night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka | from ₹389 |
| Nawaab - 3ml, 6ml, 12ml | The deepest in the range | ₹399, ₹699 and ₹1,199. White royal oud led, with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf. SOSA publishes this as the deepest of the four | from ₹399 |
| SOSA solid body perfumes - 15g | Worn, and smaller still | ₹459 to ₹549. The other worn format in the range. No wear-time figure is published for these, so this page does not give one | from ₹459 |
| SOSA reed diffusers | A room, not a person | From ₹749 in 50ml. Listed here only to rule it out: a reed diffuser scents a room and an attar is worn. They are not substitutes, and a fragrance-taste question is not answered by a bottle that sits on a shelf | from ₹749 |
The single most useful fact on this page: the published Attar Trio is one fixed combination. It is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, every time, and all three bottles ship in the size you select. Adaa cannot be substituted into it, and there is no mixed-size trio - SOSA's own page says that if you want a different three, or three different sizes, you buy the bottles individually and the trio discount does not apply. Published across all five pages: 6 to 8 hours of wear per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, a built-in dab applicator (dab on pulse points, do not rub), a carrier of Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, and alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant formulations hand-blended in small batches in Pune. A 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin rather than on fabric. Prices above are the published selling prices; bulk orders are welcome and custom label or logo on product is available, with quantities settled on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531.

The honest spec sheet
What the SOSA attar pages publish, and what they do not
Everything below is on the live product pages. Anything not on this list is not something a page like this should state.
- The four attars and their prices - Adaa, bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac and white musk, ₹379 / ₹669 / ₹1,149; Ameeri, Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, Persian saffron, soft oudh and amber, ₹385 / ₹679 / ₹1,165; Mastani, night-blooming jasmine, Damask rose, Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka, ₹389 / ₹685 / ₹1,179; Nawaab, white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, ₹399 / ₹699 / ₹1,199. In 3ml, 6ml and 12ml. Those four are the entire attar range.
- The trio - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani at ₹1,055, ₹1,859 and ₹3,189 for 3 x 3ml, 3 x 6ml and 3 x 12ml, against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 bought singly. It is one fixed combination, all three bottles in the same size, and Adaa is not in it. A different three, or mixed sizes, means buying individually at full price.
- Wear - 6 to 8 hours on skin per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown developing after the first 30 minutes. A 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab. That is the only quantity figure SOSA gives for an attar.
- The format - a concentrated oil attar with a built-in dab applicator; dab on pulse points and do not rub. Carrier of Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba. Alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant, skin-safe, heat-stable to 45 degrees C, hand-blended in small batches in Pune by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles trained. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin rather than fabric.
- Relative depth, in SOSA's own words - Adaa is published as the lightest of the four and Nawaab as the deepest, with Ameeri and Mastani between them. That ordering is published; no number from any product page is quoted here, and no claim is made about how any of them behaves on a particular person.
- Not published, and therefore never stated here: any sillage, projection or room-distance figure; any shelf life, expiry, concentration or oil percentage; any seasonal or skin-chemistry claim beyond "longer on warm or oily skin"; any bulk rate, minimum quantity, price break or lead time; any presentation beyond the trio's single gift-ready box and a custom label or logo on product; and anything whatsoever about what a recipient will like or how a gift will be received. Those go to WhatsApp +91 96192 18531.
Know what they wear and not what to buy next? Tell SOSA on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 four things: the fragrance they already own and wear, anything they have said they dislike, whether this is a first attar or an addition to a collection, and roughly what you want to spend. You will get one straight answer rather than a catalogue - including the cases where the honest answer is a single 3ml at ₹379 to ₹399 rather than the trio, or Adaa on its own because the trio is published as an evening set. What is not on this page, because SOSA does not publish it: any sillage, projection or room-distance figure; any shelf life, expiry or concentration; any claim about how an attar behaves on a particular person; any bulk rate, minimum quantity or lead time; and anything at all about what a recipient will think. What is: 6 to 8 hours of wear per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, a drydown that develops after the first 30 minutes, roughly 60 wears in a 3ml at one dab, a built-in dab applicator, a carrier of Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, and alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant formulations made in India. On presentation: the trio's three bottles ship in a single gift-ready box, which is published; beyond that, custom label or logo on product is the one branding option, and there is no custom box, printed sleeve or insert card. Where SOSA is: an Indian fragrance house based in Pune, sending orders across India, with no shop, stockist, counter or warehouse in any other city.

A note from Sonal
The message we get most often on WhatsApp is not what should I buy. It is a more specific and more interesting problem: I know exactly what she wears. I have known for years. I just cannot buy it again. That person is not short of information. They are short of a next step, which is a different thing entirely, and almost nothing written about fragrance gifting treats it as different.
Here is the part I would want them to hold on to. Knowing somebody's signature tells you where they started, not where they would go. A person who has worn one bottle for a decade has usually not rejected the alternatives - they have never had three of them on their own skin at the same time. So the useful gift is not a better guess at one bottle. It is evidence: several things to wear, on separate days, and the chance to notice which one they reach for without being asked to be polite about it.
The part I will be blunt about, because our own product page is blunt about it: the trio is one fixed set. Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, all three in whichever size you choose. It is not assembled around a person's taste, Adaa is not in it, and if somebody wears bright citrus and nothing else, that box is the wrong box - Adaa on its own is the honest answer, and it costs a great deal less. I would rather lose the larger sale than have three bottles sit unopened on somebody's dressing table.
And the thing nobody selling fragrance should pretend to know: I cannot tell you what they will like. I can tell you what is in each bottle, that one dab carries six to eight hours, that a 3ml is roughly sixty wears, and that all four are alcohol-free and blended here in Pune. What happens when a particular person puts a particular attar on a particular wrist is genuinely theirs to find out - and giving them three ways to find it out is, I think, the whole point.
Frequently asked questions
Does the SOSA Attar Trio give him a break from oud?
No. All three bottles in the trio publish oudh in their own note lists - Nawaab is white royal oud led, Ameeri carries a measured oudh under Taif rose and Persian saffron, and Mastani carries oudh under night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose. The box changes what sits above the base rather than removing the base. The only SOSA attar with no oud in its published notes is Adaa, which is sold on its own from Rs 379.
Can I swap Adaa in place of Nawaab in the box?
No. The SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed combination of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, and all three bottles come in the single size you select. Adaa is the fourth attar, sold on its own at Rs 379 in 3ml, Rs 669 in 6ml and Rs 1,149 in 12ml. If you want a different three, you buy the bottles individually at full price and the trio price no longer applies.
Which SOSA attar is the deepest?
Nawaab. SOSA publishes it as the deepest of the four - white royal oud led, with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, and agarwood, leather, vetiver and amber behind them. It is Rs 399 in 3ml, Rs 699 in 6ml and Rs 1,199 in 12ml. SOSA publishes no strength figure for any attar beyond describing Adaa as the lightest and Nawaab as the deepest, and none is invented here.
Is a 3ml large enough to count as a real gift for somebody who already buys fragrance?
SOSA publishes a 3ml at roughly 60 wears at one dab, which is the figure that decides it. Three of those at Rs 1,055 is enough wearing time to form a view rather than a first reaction. If the intention is supply rather than discovery, the 12ml trio at Rs 3,189 is the tier built for that, though no wear figure is published for the 12ml.
What exactly does SOSA publish about how long these last?
Six to eight hours per bottle on skin, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown developing after the first thirty minutes. That is the entire disclosure. There is no sillage, projection or room-distance figure on any of the product pages, no shelf life and no claim about how an attar behaves on a particular person, so none of those appears here.
Take the next step
Decide whether you are buying breadth or depth, then stop deliberating
The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when the point is to put three different things on their skin and find out - roughly 60 wears in each bottle, so it is a real trial rather than a sample. The 3 x 6ml at ₹1,859 or 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 when you already expect all three to be worn. A single 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 when you know the direction and breadth would be wasted. And Adaa on its own from ₹379 when what you know about their taste is that it is light and fresh, because the trio is published as an evening set. Tell SOSA what they already wear on WhatsApp.
Not sure which one suits the person you are buying for? Send SOSA their age, whether they drive, whether they like their home scented and your budget on WhatsApp, and you will get an honest answer - including when the cheaper product is the better gift.

About this guide: Written by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles-trained founder and perfumer at SOSA Home & Body. Product recommendations reflect the SOSA range; the reasoning about how to buy fragrance for somebody whose taste you partly know applies to any brand.Specifications verified from the live SOSA product pages, September 2026: SOSA publishes four attars and one pack of three, and that is the entire attar range. Adaa - bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood - is ₹379 in 3ml, ₹669 in 6ml and ₹1,149 in 12ml. Ameeri - Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, Persian saffron, soft oudh, amber and white musk - is ₹385, ₹679 and ₹1,165. Mastani - night-blooming jasmine, Damask rose, Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka - is ₹389, ₹685 and ₹1,179. Nawaab - white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf - is ₹399, ₹699 and ₹1,199. The SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed combination - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - at ₹1,055 for 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 for 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 for 3 x 12ml, against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 for the same bottles bought singly. All three bottles in a trio ship in the same size and in a single gift-ready box. Adaa is not in the trio; SOSA publishes it as the daytime attar, sold separately, and the trio page states that a different combination or mixed sizes means buying individually without the trio price. Published across all five pages: 6 to 8 hours of wear per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin; a drydown that develops after the first 30 minutes; roughly 60 wears in a 3ml at one dab; a built-in dab applicator, dabbed on pulse points rather than rubbed; a carrier of Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba; alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant and skin-safe; heat-stable to 45 degrees C; hand-blended in small batches in Pune; country of origin India. Attar oils can stain light silks and are applied to skin rather than fabric. For comparison: SOSA solid body perfumes are ₹459 to ₹549 in 15g and are also worn, though no wear-time figure is published for them; SOSA reed diffusers from ₹749 scent a room rather than a person and are not an alternative to an attar. What is not published, and is therefore not stated here: any sillage, projection or room-distance figure; any shelf life, expiry, concentration or oil percentage; any seasonal or skin-chemistry claim beyond "longer on warm or oily skin"; any bulk rate, minimum quantity, price break or lead time; and any presentation beyond the trio's single gift-ready box and a custom label or logo on product. Limits of this guide: no claim is made anywhere on this page about mood, stress, calm, sleep, headaches, sensitivity or wellbeing, in either direction. No claim is made about what any recipient will like. Nothing here states or implies that a named person will enjoy, prefer, adopt or be impressed by any fragrance, that a scent will suit them or become their signature, or that a gift will be well received; SOSA publishes no information of that kind and none is invented here. No third-party perfume, perfume house or brand is named, and no resemblance, alternative or dupe claim is made about any SOSA product. No rating, review count, strength score or customer name from any product page is cited, and no competitor or category of competing product is characterised. No statement is made about what any community, religion or family wears or gives, and no etiquette rule is presented as fact. No fragrance is assigned to a gender; SOSA publishes all four attars as wearable by anyone. Bulk orders are welcome and custom label or logo on product is available; that is the only branding option, and quantities are settled on WhatsApp. SOSA Home & Body is an Indian fragrance house based in Pune, Maharashtra, sending orders across India, with no shop, showroom, stockist, counter or warehouse in any other city.
