Founder Diaries · Attars, Fragrance Discovery & Buying for Known Taste
Is one bottle or three the safer thing to give? Three, for a reason that has nothing to do with generosity. A single bottle is a nomination - it says this one. Three bottles say nothing at all except here are three. The SOSA trio is a fixed set of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, all in the single size you select, which means it was not assembled as a verdict on anybody's taste.
How big is a 3ml in practice? SOSA publishes it as roughly 60 wears at one dab per application, which is the only quantity figure published for any attar in the range. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown developing after the first 30 minutes. There is no published wear count for the 6ml or the 12ml.

Everybody who has worn one fragrance for a decade has been handed a bottle by somebody who meant well, and the awkwardness is never about the scent. It is about what the object is for. A full bottle of something unfamiliar is a year's supply, and a year's supply of a new thing has to displace something. That is the whole of the discomfort you are describing, and it is a question of volume rather than tact. The good news is that volume is the one variable you get to set outright - and the smallest published size here is small enough to be an addition rather than a proposal.
One of the three in the published trio, and the reason size matters more than scent in this particular question. Mastani is ₹389 in 3ml, ₹685 in 6ml and ₹1,179 in 12ml on its own. Inside the trio it comes with Ameeri and Nawaab, all three in the size you pick, from ₹1,055. A 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab - which is small enough to sit beside a signature rather than stand in for it.
Quick answers — read this first
How do you give somebody a new fragrance without it looking like a replacement? By giving a size that cannot function as one. A 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab - enough to wear properly, nowhere near a year of supply. The SOSA Attar Trio is three of them for ₹1,055, so the gift is three things to try alongside what they wear rather than one thing to wear instead.Is one bottle or three the safer thing to give?

The short answer
Short answer: Give a size that cannot replace anything. A 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab, and the SOSA Attar Trio is three of them for Rs 1,055 in one gift-ready box. It is a fixed set of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, so it was not assembled as a comment on anybody's taste. Adaa is separate from Rs 379.
The pick: The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 - three small bottles that sit beside a signature, rather than one large one that has to take its place.
Why: A full bottle of something unfamiliar is a year of supply and has to displace something. Three 3ml bottles at roughly 60 wears each are an addition to a shelf, which is a different object entirely.
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 friend has worn one perfume so consistently that everyone associates it with them - how can I gift something new without implying that I think they should change their signature scent?
Change the size before you change the scent. The discomfort you are anticipating comes from volume, not from the fragrance: a 50ml or 100ml bottle of something unfamiliar is a year of wearing, and a year of wearing has to come out of somewhere. A 3ml does not. SOSA publishes a 3ml at roughly 60 wears at one dab, which is enough to wear something properly for a fortnight and not remotely enough to stand in for a signature. That single fact does most of the work in your question. The second thing that helps is quantity: one bottle is a nomination and three are not. The SOSA Attar Trio is ₹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 bought singly. It holds Ameeri - Taif rose, Persian saffron, Indian sandalwood, soft oudh and amber; Nawaab - white royal oud with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, published as the deepest of the four; and Mastani - night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown after the first 30 minutes. Three honest limits. The trio is a fixed set: the three are always the same, all three bottles come in one size, and Adaa is not in it - which is useful here, because a set nobody assembled around your friend cannot be a comment on your friend. It is published as an evening set, so a light, citrus-led wearer is the wrong recipient and Adaa from ₹379 is the straight answer instead. And what anybody takes from a gift is not something SOSA publishes a word about, so nothing here will tell you how this will be read. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
The awkwardness is in the volume, not the scent. Three millilitres cannot replace a signature; it can only sit next to one.
The quick version: the 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when the point is to give them three things to wear and find out, 3 x 6ml at ₹1,859 or 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 when you expect all three to be used, a single 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 when you already know the direction. Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani every time - Adaa is sold separately from ₹379.
The SOSA Attar Trio from ₹1,055
Three things that decide whether this is an addition or a substitution
Most advice on this answers with tone - how to phrase the card, what to say when they open it. That is the part you cannot control. The three things below are the parts you can, and all of them are decided at the point of purchase.
01
Volume, not tact
A 3ml cannot function as a replacement, and that is the whole argument
A large bottle of an unfamiliar fragrance carries an implied instruction, because the only way to use it is to use it instead of something. The published size that avoids this is the smallest one. SOSA publishes a 3ml at roughly 60 wears at one dab - enough to wear a scent for a fortnight and form a real view, and nothing like enough to be anybody's daily supply. It fits in a drawer next to what they already own rather than competing for the same shelf. That is not a diplomatic framing, it is a physical fact about the object, and it is the reason the 3ml tier is the correct tier for this particular question even though it is also the cheapest.
Tip: A year of supply proposes something. A fortnight of wears does not.
02
One versus three
A single bottle is a nomination. Three bottles are a set of options
Hand somebody one unfamiliar bottle and you have put a specific thing forward, which invites a specific response. Hand them three and you have put nothing forward at all - the three do not agree with each other, so no single verdict can be read out of them. The fixed nature of the SOSA trio helps here rather than hurting. It is one published combination, Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, with all three bottles in the size you select and Adaa sold separately from ₹379.
Because nobody assembled those three around your friend, the box is not a claim about your friend. It is a box of three compositions, at ₹1,055, ₹1,859 or ₹3,189 depending on size, and the only thing it asks of anybody is that they smell them.

03
The part you cannot buy
How it is taken is not published, and no page should pretend otherwise
It is worth saying plainly, because a lot of gifting copy sells exactly this and none of it can. SOSA publishes nothing about how any gift is received, what any person will make of a fragrance, or whether anybody keeps wearing what they were given. No product page carries that information because it does not exist. So this page will not tell you that your friend will be delighted, or relieved, or anything else. What it can tell you is what the object is: three concentrated oil attars, 6 to 8 hours of wear each, longer on warm or oily skin, roughly 60 wears in a 3ml, in a single gift-ready box. The rest is between the two of you and is not for sale.
Tip: Nobody publishes what a gift will mean to the person opening it.
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
Decide these four in order and the awkward version does not arise
- Decide first whether you are adding to a shelf or replacing what is on it.
- Small does the adding: a 3ml is roughly 60 wears, not a year of supply.
- Three rather than one, so no single bottle is being put forward as the answer.
- Rs 1,055 buys 3 x 3ml. The Rs 3,189 tier is supply, and supply is the other job.
The SOSA principle
Three small bottles make no argument. They are three things to smell, and the person wearing them keeps every decision that follows.
Which is also why the smallest tier, rather than the largest, is the one that fits this question.
What is in the box, and why the smallest size is the relevant one here
What is actually in the box is three compositions that disagree with each other, which is the point. Ameeri is the warm one: Taif rose and Persian saffron over Indian sandalwood, with soft oudh and amber beneath. Nawaab is the dry woody one and the deepest of the four as SOSA publishes it - white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood, aged tobacco leaf, with agarwood, leather and vetiver. Mastani is floral over a warm base: night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose with sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka. On its own Mastani is ₹389, ₹685 and ₹1,179 in 3ml, 6ml and 12ml. If your friend's long-standing fragrance is bright and citrus-led, none of those three is the honest recommendation and Adaa from ₹379 is, because the trio is published as an evening set.
The SOSA gift edit
Four gifts, ranked by how much they ask of the person opening them
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| The SOSA Attar Trio, 3 x 3ml at ₹1,055 | Three small bottles at roughly 60 wears each. None of them is a supply, none of them is a nomination, and the set is fixed rather than assembled around anybody - so there is nothing in the object that argues for a change. |
| The SOSA Attar Trio, 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 | The same three compositions in the largest published size. Generous and, for this particular question, the wrong tier: three 12ml bottles are supply, and supply of something new sits awkwardly next to a signature it has to displace. |
| A single 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 | One direction, chosen by you, in a size meant to be worn through. It is the strongest statement on this list, which is exactly the thing you said you wanted to avoid - it puts one specific alternative forward and nothing else. |
| A SOSA solid body perfume, 15g from ₹459 | The other small worn format in the range, and a quiet one. Worth knowing that SOSA publishes no wear-time figure for the solids at all, so you get a smaller, simpler object and less published information about it than the attars carry. |
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 →
A few facts about the format, since an attar is not a spray and the difference shows on the first morning. Each bottle carries a built-in dab applicator; the published instruction is to dab on pulse points and not to rub, because rubbing works against the way the drydown develops after the first 30 minutes. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin rather than onto a scarf or a collar. All four are alcohol-free and DPG-free, carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, IFRA-compliant, skin-safe and heat-stable to 45 degrees C, hand-blended in small batches in Pune. The trio's three bottles come in a single gift-ready box, which is the only presentation SOSA publishes; a custom label or logo on product is the one branding option beyond it.
₹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.
Give somebody three millilitres and you have given them a fortnight. Give them a hundred and you have given them an instruction.
— 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. SOSA is an Indian fragrance house based in Pune, sending orders across India. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
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
Is a 3ml too small to give as a present?
SOSA publishes a 3ml at roughly 60 wears at one dab, which is a fortnight or more of wearing a scent properly rather than testing it. Three of them in one gift-ready box is Rs 1,055. For this particular question the small size is the point rather than a compromise, because it can sit beside a signature instead of having to replace it.
Would one carefully chosen bottle be better than three?
One bottle puts a specific alternative forward; three do not agree with each other, so no single verdict can be read out of the box. If you want to give one, a single 3ml runs from Rs 379 for Adaa to Rs 399 for Nawaab, and a 12ml runs Rs 1,149 to Rs 1,199. Which is better depends on whether you want to make a suggestion or simply supply options.
Can the trio be put together around the scent my friend already wears?
No. The SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed combination of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, in whichever single size you select for all three bottles. Adaa is not in it and is sold separately from Rs 379. A different three, or three different sizes, means buying the bottles individually and the trio price no longer applies.
How will my friend take a fragrance gift when they already have a signature?
Nobody can tell you that, and SOSA publishes no information of that kind on any product page. What is published is what the object is: three concentrated oil attars, 6 to 8 hours of wear per bottle and longer on warm or oily skin, roughly 60 wears in a 3ml, in a single gift-ready box. Anything beyond that would be invented.
Are there smaller SOSA options than an attar?
The solid body perfumes are 15g and start at Rs 459, and they are the other worn format in the range. SOSA publishes no wear-time figure for them, so you get a smaller object and less published detail than an attar carries. The attar range itself is four bottles and one fixed pack of three, in 3ml, 6ml and 12ml.
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.
