Founder Diaries · Reed Diffuser & Home Fragrance Gifting
By Sonal Sahani · ISIPCA Versailles 12 min read Updated September 2026
You have four variables - recipient, home size, occasion, budget - and the mistake is treating them as four equal inputs to be balanced. They are not equal, and they do not even answer the same question. Home size decides the size and the format. The recipient decides the scent. The occasion decides only whether it has to turn up as a box. Budget decides last, and usually decides nothing at all, because the entire bottle range sits between ₹749 and ₹2,598. Run them in that order and the answer falls out in about four minutes.
SOSA Warmth and Bloom reed diffuser duo gift set, two 50ml bottles, Rs 1,598
SOSA Warmth & Bloom reed duo · two 50ml bottles in one box ₹1,598 →
Where the four questions land for a two-room home when you know the recipient's taste. SOSA Warmth & Bloom, ₹1,598 for two 50ml bottles - Fresh Brew coffee-vanilla with Garden Bloom rose and night jasmine, the most declarative of the three pairings and the one that most reads as chosen rather than as household supply. About 6 to 10 weeks each, already one box. Step to 130ml at ₹2,598 only if both rooms are large.
Quick answers — read this first
How do I choose between one reed diffuser, a reed diffuser combo and a whole-space scenting device? Answer four questions in order. Home size decides it first: one room in use means one bottle at ₹749 to ₹1,349, two rooms means a duo at ₹1,498 to ₹2,598, and one connected volume of open air means a device. Recipient decides the scent. Occasion decides whether it must be one box. Budget decides last and rarely changes the answer.

Why does budget come last? Because the range is narrow enough that the first three questions have usually already fixed the price. One 50ml is ₹749 to ₹849, one 130ml ₹1,249 to ₹1,349, a 50ml duo ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 and a 130ml duo ₹2,498 to ₹2,598. The three pairings are only ₹100 apart. Once the rooms are settled, the budget is choosing between neighbours.

When is a whole-space device the right answer rather than bottles? Only when the home is one continuous body of air rather than a set of rooms. Vaayu at ₹11,999 is waterless, with a Bluetooth app and timer and a 400 ML tank, rated for approximately 1000 m3 of connected air. That rating assumes one continuous volume, so it is the wrong object for a flat or a house with the doors shut.
The short answer
Short answer: Run four questions in order and only the first three really decide anything. Home size decides the size and format: one room means one bottle at Rs 749 to Rs 1,349, two rooms means a duo at Rs 1,498 to Rs 2,598, one connected volume of open air means a device. The recipient decides the scent. The occasion decides whether it has to be one box. Budget goes last, because the whole range is narrow.
The pick: Most homes land on a 50ml duo at ₹1,498 to ₹1,598. One room in use lands on one bottle from ₹749. Only a genuinely open, connected home lands on a device.
Why: Because the four variables answer different questions rather than competing on one. Home size answers how big, the recipient answers which scent, the occasion answers does it need to be a box, and money answers almost nothing.
Sending something when somebody is having a hard time - at a glanceKeep it small - candle ₹399, attar ₹379, car scent ₹449For their home - reed diffuser ₹749, nothing to switch onSay the words yourself - no card goes in the parcelNever - a parcel instead of turning up
A gift cannot change how somebody's week went, and a page that suggests otherwise is not worth reading. What a small parcel does is tell a person you were thinking about them on a day when nothing made you - which is a real thing to say, and worth saying. Keep it small, because a large one asks somebody already short of energy to produce a reaction, and send the words separately, because the object cannot carry them.
Straight answer
I know I want to gift home fragrance. How do I decide between one reed diffuser, a combo and a whole-space device, using recipient, home size, occasion and budget?
Rank the four before you use them, because used in the wrong order they contradict each other. First, home size, and it is first because it decides both the size and the format. One room in daily use is one bottle: 50ml at ₹749 to ₹849 for a small or medium room, 130ml at ₹1,249 to ₹1,349 for a large one. Two rooms is a duo, matched to those rooms: ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 in 50ml, ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 in 130ml. A home that is one continuous body of open air is not a bottle question at all. Second, the recipient, and all they decide is the scent. The less you know, the less declarative it should be. Third, the occasion, and all it decides is whether the gift has to turn up as one box - a duo set is sold as a box, two separate bottles are two products, and SOSA has no gift box service, no wrapping, no ribbon and no message-card to bridge the difference. Fourth, budget, and it decides last because it usually decides nothing. The whole bottle range is ₹749 to ₹2,598; the three pairings sit ₹100 apart; and no reed diffuser and no duo set is published between ₹1,598 and ₹2,398, so there is not even a middle to argue about. By the time the first three questions are answered, the price is fixed within about ₹100 and the budget is either above it or below it. All five scents run about 6 to 10 weeks, which is the only duration published, and no square-footage rating is published for any reed diffuser, so all room advice here is guidance. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
Four variables, four different jobs. Size, scent, box, money - in that order. Run them out of order and you end up buying the dearest thing that still fits the number, which is how a large bottle ends up in a small bedroom.
Where the procedure ends for most homes: a 50ml duo from ₹1,498, two rooms in one box. One room in use ends at one bottle from ₹749. Only connected open air ends at a device.
Reed duo sets from ₹1,498

The four variables, in the order that actually decides things

Here is the procedure itself. Three sections below, because the second and third questions are quick once the first is settled, and the fourth is mostly a matter of admitting how little it does. Work through them in order and do not skip ahead to the money.

1
Question one, and the one that matters
Home size decides the size and the format, before anything else
Ask how many rooms are in daily use and how large each one is. Not bedrooms on a plan - rooms where somebody actually sits.

One room in use. One bottle. 50ml at ₹749 to ₹849 if the room is small or medium, 130ml at ₹1,249 to ₹1,349 if it is large. A second bottle here is not generosity, it is storage.

Two rooms in use. A duo, and matched to the rooms rather than to the money: the 50ml duo ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 for two small-to-medium rooms, the 130ml duo ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 only when both are genuinely large. Two 130ml bottles in two small closed bedrooms is a worse outcome than the cheaper set, because both get relocated. And if the two rooms are unequal - one large, one small, the commonest pair in an Indian flat - no published set mixes sizes. That is one 130ml and one 50ml bought separately, roughly ₹1,998 to ₹2,198 by your own arithmetic off the retail prices.

Three or more rooms. There is no three-bottle set. A 50ml duo plus a separate single is around ₹2,247 on the same public arithmetic, turning up as two products.

One connected volume of open air. Not a bottle question. Go to the device tier further down, and read the word connected carefully when you get there.
Tip: Home size is first because it is the only one of the four that can rule out an entire format.
2
Questions two and three
The recipient decides the scent. The occasion decides the box.
These two are quick, and they are quick because each has exactly one job.

The recipient decides the scent, and nothing else. Not the size - that was question one. The rule is about your own information: the less you know about what a home already smells like, the less declarative the fragrance should be. Morning Freshness lemon-mint is the least declarative single in the range; Fresh & Grounded is the least sweet and least floral of the three sets and the safest to send into a home you have never stood in; Fresh Brew coffee-vanilla is the strongest opinion on the list. None of them may be called universally liked, and Evening Calm is a name on a bottle of lavender and chamomile rather than a description of an effect.

The occasion decides whether it has to be one box, and nothing else. Handed over in person at a housewarming or a wedding, the box is doing real work and a duo set is already one. Sent to somebody you know well, or where you want a pairing SOSA does not publish, two separate bottles are fine and simply are not a box. That is the entire contribution of the occasion variable. It does not change the size, it does not change the scent, and it should never be allowed to change the budget.
3
Question four
Budget goes last, and on this range it usually decides nothing
This is the claim people resist, so here is the evidence. The whole bottle ladder is one 50ml ₹749 to ₹849, one 130ml ₹1,249 to ₹1,349, a 50ml duo ₹1,498 to ₹1,598, a 130ml duo ₹2,498 to ₹2,598. Four rungs across ₹1,849. Within each rung the spread is about ₹100. And no reed diffuser and no duo set is published between ₹1,598 and ₹2,398, so there is no middle ground to negotiate.

Work the first three questions and you have already landed on a rung. The budget then does one of two things. If it is above that rung, the correct response is to stop - a budget of ₹2,000 against a two-small-room home is answered by the ₹1,498 set coming in under it, not by stretching to a larger bottle that the rooms cannot use. If it is below the rung, the budget is doing something real for once, and the honest move is down a rung rather than sideways: one bottle instead of two, or 50ml instead of 130ml.

That is the whole of it. On a range this narrow, money is a constraint that occasionally binds rather than a variable that chooses. The reason this matters is that budget is the variable people reach for first, and reaching for it first is what produces the two classic errors: the large bottle in the small bedroom, and the second bottle with no room to go in.

A 300ml refill at ₹2,399 sits in the ladder but is a continuation for an existing owner rather than a gift, and Evening Calm publishes no refill while being half of the ₹1,498 set.
Tip: Once rooms, scent and box are settled, the price is fixed within about Rs 100. Budget is a ceiling, not a chooser.
SOSA Fresh and Grounded reed diffuser duo gift set, Rs 1,548
The idea this whole question turns on
A duo is a second room, not a bigger gift for the same room
The 50ml duo sets are ₹1,498, ₹1,548 and ₹1,598 for two 50ml bottles - which is two small-to-medium rooms, not one room handled twice as hard. The 130ml duos at ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 are two large rooms. So the question to answer before the price is how many rooms you actually want handled, and how big they are. Somebody in a one-bedroom flat who spends every evening in the living room does not need a second bottle; somebody who has just taken possession of a 3BHK where every room smells of paint does.

Work it out in this order
The four questions, in the order that settles this
  1. Home size first. It sets the size, and whether a device belongs here at all.
  2. Recipient second. What you know about their taste sets the scent, nothing else.
  3. Occasion third. It only decides whether the gift must turn up as one box.
  4. Budget last. Between Rs 749 and Rs 2,598 it rarely changes the answer.
The SOSA principle
The four variables are not four inputs to be balanced. They are four different questions with four different outputs, and they have a strict order. Home size outputs a size. The recipient outputs a scent. The occasion outputs a box or no box. Budget outputs a yes or a no to what the first three already chose.
Almost every mistake in home-fragrance gifting is an ordering mistake rather than a knowledge one. The buyer knew the rooms were small; they just looked at the money first.

Step two in detail: the recipient decides the scent

Step two in full, since it is the one place taste enters. The five singles are Morning Freshness, Malabar lemon and mint, ₹749 in 50ml and ₹1,249 in 130ml; Garden Bloom, British rose and night-blooming jasmine, and Evening Calm, Himalayan lavender and chamomile, both ₹799 and ₹1,299; and Mountain Breeze, Himalayan pine, sage and cedar, and Fresh Brew, Coorg coffee and Kerala vanilla, both ₹849 and ₹1,349. The three sets are fixed pairings: Day & Night ₹1,498 is lemon-mint with lavender-chamomile, the two least declarative scents in the range; Fresh & Grounded ₹1,548 is lemon-mint with pine, sage and cedar, dry and green rather than sweet; Warmth & Bloom ₹1,598 is coffee-vanilla with rose and jasmine, the most declarative and the one that most reads as chosen rather than as household supply. No set is composed to order and there is no three-bottle set, so any other pairing is two separate bottles. No pairing here is universally liked, and saying otherwise would be a claim about strangers.

The SOSA gift edit
The four things you could actually buy, and what each one demands
The option Who it suits, and where it fails
One reed diffuser · ₹749 to ₹1,349 The right answer whenever one room is genuinely all that is in use, and the right first diffuser for anybody. About 6 to 10 weeks, no flame, no socket, no water, nothing to switch off. It demands nothing of the recipient at all. It fails only where the home has a second room somebody lives in, at which point it reads as a start rather than as the gift.
A duo set · ₹1,498 to ₹2,598 Two bottles of the same size in one box: ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 for two 50ml, ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 for two 130ml. Two rooms handled, nothing to assemble, and it is already a box for an occasion where that matters. It fails in a one-room home, where the second bottle is storage, and in mismatched rooms, because no published set mixes sizes.
Two separate bottles · roughly ₹1,998 to ₹2,198 One 130ml and one 50ml, which is the answer to the large-room-plus-small-room home that no set covers, and also the honest answer to a budget of about ₹2,000. Your own arithmetic off published retail prices. It fails as a presented gift: it turns up as two products and there is no wrapping and no gift box service to join them.
A whole-space device · ₹1,899 to ₹11,999 Sukoon ₹1,899 and Boond ₹899 are ultrasonic and water-based on the ₹299 Hotel Collection; Megh ₹5,999; Vaayu ₹11,999 is waterless. Every one of them demands something weekly, which is a real thing to hand somebody who did not ask for a machine. The large one fails outright where doors stay shut.
SOSA Warmth and Bloom reed diffuser duo gift set, Rs 1,598
The three pairings, and the one trade inside them
Three sets exist, the pairings are fixed, and one of them has no refill path
Day & Night ₹1,498 is lemon-mint with lavender-chamomile. Fresh & Grounded ₹1,548 is lemon-mint with pine, sage and cedar - the least sweet and the least floral of the three. Warmth & Bloom ₹1,598 is coffee-vanilla with rose and night jasmine, the most declarative. A set cannot be composed to order, so any other pairing is two separate bottles rather than a box. And one real trade: refills at ₹2,399 and ₹3,499 are published for four of the five scents, but not for Evening Calm - which is half of the cheapest set.
Compare the three duo sets →

The device tier deserves the last word, because it is where the biggest mistake on this page lives. Sukoon at ₹1,899 and Boond at ₹899 are ultrasonic cool-mist and water-based, running the Hotel Collection from ₹299, and they want water, power and refilling week after week. Megh is ₹5,999. Then the one that gets bought for the wrong home. Vaayu at ₹11,999 is waterless cold-air nebulising, with a Bluetooth app and timer, a 400 ML tank, freestanding or wall and HVAC mounting, DC 12V/1A 5W and CE, RoHS and SGS marks, and it is rated for approximately 1000 m3 of connected air. That single word is the fact to take away from this whole page. The rating assumes one continuous body of air, so it belongs in a large open home or a business and is simply the wrong object for a flat or a house where the doors are shut, however large the floor plan is. Sectioned homes are a room problem, and rooms are what bottles are for. Vaayu runs waterless nebuliser oil at ₹1,049 for 100 gm and ₹1,849 for 300 gm, and never the ₹299 water-based bottle.

SOSA Day and Night reed diffuser duo gift set, Rs 1,498
Morning Freshness lemon-mint with Evening Calm lavender-chamomile. The cheapest of the three at ₹1,498, and the one whose second bottle publishes no refill - worth knowing before you choose on price alone.
₹1,498 · 50ml x 2
SOSA Fresh and Grounded reed diffuser duo gift set, Rs 1,548
Lemon-mint with Himalayan pine, sage and cedar at ₹1,548. The least floral and the least sweet of the three pairings, which makes it the safest of them to send into a home you have never stood in.
₹1,548 · 50ml x 2
SOSA Warmth and Bloom reed diffuser duo gift set, Rs 1,598
Coorg coffee-vanilla with British rose and night jasmine at ₹1,598. The most declarative pairing in the range, and the one that most reads as chosen rather than as household supply.
₹1,598 · 50ml x 2
When the answer is a machine rather than more bottles
A bottle asks nothing. A machine asks for water, power and attention every week
Two reed diffusers cover two rooms. Nothing in the reed range covers a whole home, and no square-footage rating is published for any of them. If a home genuinely needs more than rooms handled one at a time, that is a machine question. Sukoon at ₹1,899 and Boond at ₹899 are ultrasonic cool-mist machines running the water-based Hotel Collection from ₹299 - they need water, a socket and refilling, which is a real ask of somebody who did not choose them. SOSA Vaayu at ₹11,999 is the waterless one: cold-air nebulising of undiluted oil, rated for approximately 1000 m3 of connected air, with a Bluetooth app and timer, a 400ml tank, freestanding or wall and HVAC mounting, DC 12V / 1A 5W mains power and CE, RoHS and SGS marks. That rating assumes one connected body of air, so a Vaayu suits a large open home or a business and is the wrong gift for a three-bedroom flat with every door closed. Vaayu runs waterless nebuliser oil at ₹1,049 for 100 gm and ₹1,849 for 300 gm and never takes the ₹299 water-based bottle. All of it adds a scent to a space; none of it removes one.

Nobody gets this wrong because they lacked information. They get it wrong because they asked the four questions in the wrong order and let the budget answer a question about rooms.
— Sonal Sahani, SOSA

The SOSA gifting range

Two questions settle almost every reed diffuser gift, and the first one is not price. How big is the room it is going into? A 50ml suits a bedroom, a study, a hallway or a first diffuser; a 130ml suits an open-plan living and dining area, and it is genuinely too much for a small closed bedroom. Then: how much do you actually know about their taste? The less you know, the less declarative the scent should be - Morning Freshness is the safest of the five for a home you have never stood in, and Fresh Brew coffee-vanilla is the strongest opinion in the range. Price follows those two answers rather than leading them.

The SOSA home fragrance ladder
A duo is two rooms, not a bigger gift for one room - decide by the rooms first
Option What it is What it suits Price
SOSA reed duo sets, 50ml x 2 Two 50ml bottles in one box Day & Night ₹1,498, Fresh & Grounded ₹1,548, Warmth & Bloom ₹1,598 - two small-to-medium rooms, and already a box with nothing to assemble from ₹1,498
SOSA reed duo sets, 130ml x 2 The same three pairings, larger ₹2,498, ₹2,548 and ₹2,598 - for two genuinely large rooms, and too much for two small closed bedrooms from ₹2,498
A single 50ml reed diffuser One small or medium room ₹749 to ₹849, about 6 to 10 weeks - a bedroom, a study, a hallway, or anybody receiving their first diffuser from ₹749
A single 130ml reed diffuser One large room ₹1,249 to ₹1,349 - an open-plan living and dining area, and the wrong choice for a small closed bedroom from ₹1,249
SOSA reed refills 300ml and 500ml ₹2,399 and ₹3,499, published for four of the five scents - Evening Calm publishes none, which matters if the gift was the Day & Night duo ₹2,399 / ₹3,499
SOSA Sukoon Ultrasonic cool-mist machine ₹1,899 plus water-based Hotel Collection fragrance from ₹299 - a machine asks for water and power every week, which a bottle never does ₹1,899
SOSA Vaayu Waterless cold-air machine Approximately 1000 m3 of connected air with a Bluetooth app and timer - a large open home or a business, not a flat with every door shut ₹11,999

There are three duo sets and only three, and the pairings are fixed - a set cannot be composed to order, so any other pairing is simply two separate bottles. There is no three-bottle or four-bottle set, and SOSA has no hamper, gift box, wrapping, ribbon or message-card service; the only branding available anywhere is a custom label or logo on product. All five reeds run about 6 to 10 weeks, which is the only duration SOSA publishes, and no square-footage rating is published for any reed. Prices above are published retail prices; bulk orders are welcome and quantities are settled on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 rather than priced on a page. SOSA is an Indian fragrance house based in Pune and sends orders across India. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.

The honest price sheet
The published ladder, including the gap in it
Everything below is on the live product pages. Anything not on this list is not something a page like this should state.
  • One 50ml reed - Morning Freshness ₹749, Garden Bloom and Evening Calm ₹799, Mountain Breeze and Fresh Brew ₹849. One 130ml reed - ₹1,249 to ₹1,349. All five run about 6 to 10 weeks in either size, because the larger bottle is for a larger room and not for a longer life.
  • The three duo sets - Day & Night ₹1,498, Fresh & Grounded ₹1,548 and Warmth & Bloom ₹1,598 as two 50ml bottles; ₹2,498, ₹2,548 and ₹2,598 as two 130ml bottles. These three pairings are the whole set range - a set is not composed to order, and there is no three-bottle or four-bottle set.
  • The gap worth knowing about - the ladder runs one 50ml ₹749, one 130ml ₹1,249, a 50ml duo ₹1,498, then no reed diffuser and no duo set published between ₹1,598 and ₹2,398 (the ₹1,899 Sukoon machine sits in that band, but it is a machine and not a bottle), then a 130ml duo ₹2,498. A budget of about ₹2,000 is therefore answered by the 50ml duo coming in under it, not by stretching to the larger set - the larger set is a room-size decision.
  • Refills - 300ml ₹2,399 and 500ml ₹3,499, published for four of the five scents. Evening Calm publishes no refill, and Evening Calm is one of the two bottles in the ₹1,498 Day & Night duo - so the cheapest set is the one whose second bottle has no published continuation.
  • Machines, if rooms are not the unit - Boond ₹899 and Sukoon ₹1,899 run the water-based Hotel Collection from ₹299 and need water, power and refilling. Vaayu ₹11,999 is waterless, rated for approximately 1000 m3 of connected air. Megh ₹5,999.
  • Not published, and therefore never stated here: any square-footage or room-volume rating for a reed diffuser, any duration other than about 6 to 10 weeks, how often reeds should be turned, any bulk rate, minimum order quantity, slab or volume discount, any dispatch or delivery timing, any case pack or carton size, any claim about how a recipient will feel, and any claim that a gift changes a business result. Those go to WhatsApp +91 96192 18531.

A note from Sonal

The question I get most often about the duo sets is not about scent. It is a slightly embarrassed version of: will one bottle look cheap? And I understand it, because a single 50ml reed in a box is a small object to hand to somebody whose house you have just walked into for the first time.

But the honest answer is that a duo is not a bigger gift. It is a second room. That is the whole difference, and it is a much more useful way to think about it than price. If the person you are buying for lives in a one-bedroom flat and spends their evenings in the living room, the second bottle does not make the gift better - it makes the gift into something they have to find a home for. If they have just moved into a 3BHK and every room smells of paint, the second bottle is the point.

Where I would push back hardest is on the 130ml duo. People reach for it because it is the most expensive thing in the reed range and it feels like the safest way to be generous. The 130ml is the large room's bottle, not the better bottle. Two of them in two small closed bedrooms is not a generous gift; it is two rooms nobody wants to sit in. A 50ml duo at ₹1,498 in the right two rooms beats a 130ml duo at ₹2,498 in the wrong two, every single time.

And the part I will not pretend about: there are three pairings and they are fixed. I cannot put Garden Bloom and Evening Calm in a box for you. If that is the combination you want, it is two bottles rather than a set, and it is worth knowing that before you decide whether the box mattered to you in the first place.

Frequently asked questions

In what order should I use recipient, home size, occasion and budget?
Home size, recipient, occasion, budget. Home size decides the size of bottle and whether a device belongs in the conversation at all. The recipient decides the scent and only the scent. The occasion decides whether the gift has to turn up as one box. Budget goes last, because between Rs 749 and Rs 2,598 the first three questions have usually already fixed the price within about Rs 100.
When is one reed diffuser enough, and when do I need two?
One room in daily use means one bottle: 50ml at Rs 749 to Rs 849 for a small or medium room, 130ml at Rs 1,249 to Rs 1,349 for a large one. Two rooms in daily use means a duo, matched to those rooms rather than to your budget: Rs 1,498 to Rs 1,598 for two 50ml, Rs 2,498 to Rs 2,598 for two 130ml. A second bottle in a one-room home is storage, not generosity.
When does a whole-space device make more sense than bottles?
Only where the home is one connected body of air rather than a set of rooms. Vaayu at Rs 11,999 is waterless cold-air nebulising with a Bluetooth app and timer, a 400 ML tank and a rating of approximately 1000 m3 of connected air, and that rating assumes one continuous volume. In a flat or a house with the doors shut it is the wrong object. Sukoon at Rs 1,899 is water-based and needs refilling every week.
The home has one large room and one small room. Which set is that?
None of them. Every published duo is two bottles of the same size, so a large room plus a small room is not sold as a box. That is one 130ml at Rs 1,249 to Rs 1,349 and one 50ml at Rs 749 to Rs 849 bought separately, roughly Rs 1,998 to Rs 2,198 in total by your own arithmetic. It turns up as two products, and there is no wrapping and no gift box service to make it one.
I have about Rs 2,000. Does that change the answer?
Almost certainly not. No reed diffuser and no duo set is published between Rs 1,598 and Rs 2,398, so there is nothing at Rs 2,000 to buy. If the rooms said 50ml duo, the Rs 1,498 to Rs 1,598 set comes in under your number and you keep the rest. If the rooms said one large room plus one small, two separate bottles land at roughly Rs 1,998 to Rs 2,198. Do not stretch to the larger set to use the number up.
SOSA fragrance gift
Take the next step
Size, then scent, then box, then money
One 50ml from ₹749 or one 130ml from ₹1,249 when one room is all that is in use. A 50ml duo from ₹1,498 for two small-to-medium rooms, which is where most of these questions end. A 130ml duo from ₹2,498 only when both rooms are large. A device only when the air is one connected volume. Tell SOSA the rooms on WhatsApp and you will get one answer rather than a catalogue.
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.

What is not published, and is therefore not stated anywhere on this page: any square-footage or room-volume rating for a reed diffuser, any reed duration other than approximately 6 to 10 weeks, how often reeds should be turned, reed oil composition or concentration, shelf life, and the number of reeds supplied. About commercial terms: the prices above are published retail prices. SOSA publishes no bulk or wholesale rate, no minimum order quantity, no volume slab or discount, no dispatch or delivery window, no order cut-off, no payment or credit term, no rate card, no case pack, no carton size and no unit weight, and none is stated anywhere on this page; bulk orders are welcome and are discussed on WhatsApp. The only branding available is a custom label or logo on product - there is no custom box, printed sleeve, insert card, gift wrap, ribbon, message card or hamper service. There is no dealer, partner or reseller programme. About SOSA's location: SOSA Home & Body is an Indian fragrance house based in Pune, Maharashtra, and sends orders across India. SOSA has no shop, showroom, stockist, counter or warehouse in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mysuru or any other city, and nothing on this page should be read as claiming one; where a city is named, it refers to the homes and the buyers in that city and nothing more. Limits of this guide: fragrance adds a scent and does not remove, neutralise, mask or purify odour, and no SOSA product makes any health, antibacterial, air-purifying or wellbeing claim. No claim is made anywhere on this page about mood, stress, calm, sleep, comfort or wellbeing: fragrance is a scent, not a treatment, and where a product name contains a word such as Calm that is a name and not an effect. No claim is made about how any recipient will feel about a gift, and no claim is made that a gift changes any business result - not a satisfaction score, repeat business, referrals, reviews, retention or recall.
