Founder Diaries · Reed Diffuser & Home Fragrance Gifting
Does fragrance avoid that comparison? Largely, yes. A reed diffuser is a consumable placed on a surface, not a furnishing competing for a place among furnishings. There is no shared price ladder between a bottle of scent and a dining table, so the client has nothing to measure it against. A Day & Night duo set is ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 for two 50ml bottles.
One bottle or two for a handover like this? Two, if you know two rooms are worth covering - and as the designer you do. A duo is two rooms rather than a bigger gift for one. The 50ml duo ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 suits two small-to-medium rooms; the 130ml duo ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 is for two genuinely large open rooms.

It does, and the mechanism is arithmetic rather than taste. When a client has just signed off interiors costing lakhs, any decorative object you buy at gift money is sitting in the same category as things they chose and priced themselves - and it is visibly the cheapest of them. That comparison is instant, involuntary and slightly awkward for everybody. A bottle of fragrance is not on that ladder at all: nobody prices a scent against a sofa. A ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 duo set is a complete object at its own price, and this page is about why that is the whole point.
SOSA Fresh & Grounded, ₹1,548 for two 50ml bottles - Morning Freshness lemon-mint with Mountain Breeze pine, sage and cedar. Dry and green rather than sweet, the least floral of the three pairings, and the one least likely to read as an opinion imposed on a house somebody else has just finished. Two rooms, one box, about 6 to 10 weeks each.
Quick answers — read this first
Why does a decorative handover gift feel awkward when the interiors were expensive? Because it invites a price comparison the client makes without meaning to. A vase, a tray or a lamp lands in the same category as objects they specified and paid for, so it is read against those numbers and comes off as the cheapest thing in the room. That is arithmetic, not taste.Does fragrance avoid that comparison? Largely, yes. A reed diffuser is a consumable placed on a surface, not a furnishing competing for a place among furnishings.

The 50ml duo ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 suits two small-to-medium rooms; the 130ml duo ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 is for two genuinely large open rooms.
The short answer
Short answer: Yes, and the reason is cost asymmetry rather than style. Anything decorative you buy at gift money is visibly cheaper than what the client chose themselves, which is a comparison the gift should not invite. Fragrance sits on no shared ladder with furniture. A 50ml duo set is Rs 1,498 to Rs 1,598 for two rooms.
The pick: A 50ml duo set from ₹1,498 - two rooms, one box, a complete object at its own price. Step to the 130ml duo from ₹2,498 only where both rooms are large and open.
Why: A consumable is not measured against a furnishing, so the client never runs the comparison. It also finishes in about 6 to 10 weeks, so it is not a permanent object asking for a place among things that were chosen with more care than a gift can carry.
In this guide
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
Can a handover gift avoid being compared with interiors that cost far more than the gift ever could?
It can, provided you understand what the comparison actually is. The usual worry is stated as a taste problem - will it suit the scheme - and that is a real question but it is a different one. The problem on this page is cost asymmetry. A client who has spent months approving quotations for joinery, stone, lighting and upholstery has become, temporarily, extremely good at pricing objects. Hand them a decorative thing and they price it in about two seconds, against the numbers they have just signed. Whatever you spend, it will be the cheapest object in the category, because the category is full of things they chose deliberately and paid properly for. That is not a failure of generosity. It is what happens whenever a gift enters a class of objects the recipient has already bought at a different scale, and the only real defence is to not enter that class. Fragrance is not in it. A reed diffuser is not furniture, not an artwork and not an accessory: it is a consumable that stands on a surface for about 6 to 10 weeks and then finishes. There is no shared ladder between it and a sofa, so there is nothing to place it against. That is the whole argument, and it holds regardless of what the interiors cost. On the products: Day & Night at ₹1,498, Fresh & Grounded at ₹1,548 and Warmth & Bloom at ₹1,598 for two 50ml bottles, or ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 for two 130ml, and a duo is two rooms rather than a bigger gift for one. Three honest limits. There are three pairings and they are fixed - no set is composed to order, no three-bottle set exists, and any other combination is two separate bottles. No square-footage rating is published for any reed, so room advice here is guidance. And SOSA runs no gift wrap, no ribbon, no message-card service and no gift box service; a duo set is one box because that is how it is sold. Bulk orders are welcome and quantities are settled on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
Nobody has ever looked at a diffuser on a console table and thought that cost less than the console. They think it about a vase on the same table, every time, and so do you when somebody gives you one.
The argument in one line: a ₹1,498 duo set is not cheaper than the furniture - it is not on the same list. Two rooms, one box, about 6 to 10 weeks each, then it is finished and nothing is left behind to be priced.
Reed duo sets from ₹1,498
Why the comparison happens, and how fragrance escapes it
Three steps to the argument, and it is worth following them in order because the middle one is the part most gift advice skips entirely.
1
Step one
The comparison a decorative gift starts, whether you want it or not
Think about what a client has been doing for the last six months. Reading quotations. Approving rates. Asking why one finish costs what it costs. By handover they can price a light fitting at a glance, and they are not being snobbish about it - it is simply the skill the project forced on them.
Now put a decorative object into that house. A vase, a tray, a bowl, a small sculpture, a throw. Every one of those belongs to a category the client has already bought into at a considered price, so the object is read against that scale immediately. Spend ₹2,000 and it reads as a ₹2,000 object among ₹40,000 objects. Spend ₹20,000 and you have started competing, which is worse: now the gift is making a claim about what the giver thinks the relationship is worth, and it is sitting permanently in a room where the client will keep re-reading that claim.
This is a different problem from the one usually discussed. It is not about whether the gift suits the scheme. A perfectly chosen object that suits the scheme completely still carries a visible price relative to everything around it. The awkwardness is arithmetic, and no amount of good taste removes it.

Tip: The problem is not that a decorative gift might clash. It is that it can be priced, and the client is currently very good at pricing.

Step two
Why fragrance is not on the same ladder
A category comparison needs two things: objects of the same kind, and a scale the person already holds. Fragrance supplies neither.
It is not the same kind of object. A reed diffuser is not a furnishing. It does not occupy a design decision, it is not part of the scheme, and it was never something the client would have specified in a drawing. It stands on a surface the way a bowl of fruit does - present, useful, not competing for a role.
And the client has no scale for it. Most people who have just spent lakhs on interiors could tell you within ten per cent what a console table costs. Almost none of them could tell you what a good reed diffuser costs, because it is not a category they shop in with a spreadsheet open. Without a scale there is no comparison to run.
There is a third point that matters more than it sounds. A reed finishes. About 6 to 10 weeks, which is the only duration SOSA publishes and which covers both the 50ml and the 130ml - the bigger bottle is for a bigger room, not for a longer life. An object that finishes never becomes a permanent fixture the client has to live with or find a home for, and it never sits on a shelf for five years quietly being the cheapest thing on it.

Step three
One bottle or two, and what a designer knows that a gifter does not
Having escaped the comparison, the remaining decision is the one this whole bank turns on: one bottle or two. A duo is a second room, not a larger gift for the same room. Day & Night at ₹1,498, Fresh & Grounded at ₹1,548 and Warmth & Bloom at ₹1,598 are two 50ml bottles for two small-to-medium rooms. The same three pairings at ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 are two 130ml bottles for two genuinely large open rooms.
Here is the advantage you hold. An ordinary gifter guesses at the rooms. You drew them. You know which room is open to the dining area, which bedroom stays shut all day, where there is a surface at the right height and where there is not. So the sizing question that makes most people reach for the dearest set has an actual answer in your case, and reaching for the 130ml duo when the client's bedrooms are ordinary bedrooms is a mistake you specifically have no excuse for.
One caveat that belongs on a page about expensive interiors: the choice is between three fixed pairings, and no set is composed to order. If the pairing you would specify is not among them, that is two separate bottles rather than one box - roughly ₹1,498 to ₹1,698 in 50ml by public arithmetic - and two bottles is what turns up, because there is no gift box service to make them look like a set.

Tip: You know the rooms. That is worth more here than any amount of spending, and it is the one thing gift guides cannot supply.
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
How to choose a handover gift that cannot be priced against the project
- Rule out anything decorative. It lands in a category the client has already priced.
- Prefer a consumable: it is not measured against furnishings and it finishes.
- Count rooms, not rupees. A duo is a second room, never a bigger gift for one room.
- Size by the rooms you drew: 50ml duo for ordinary rooms, 130ml duo for two large ones.
The SOSA principle
The risk with a handover gift is not that the client dislikes it. It is that the gift enters a category they have spent six months learning to price, and loses that comparison on arrival. A consumable never enters the category, so the comparison never starts.
That is why fragrance works here and a beautiful object at the same money often does not - and it has nothing to do with how good your eye is.
Choosing the pairing when the room is already finished to a standard
With the comparison out of the way, the pairing can be chosen on its own merits. Fresh & Grounded at ₹1,548 pairs Morning Freshness, Malabar lemon and mint, with Mountain Breeze, Himalayan pine, sage and cedar - dry and green, the least sweet and least floral of the three, and the least likely to read as an opinion imposed on a house somebody else finished. Day & Night at ₹1,498 pairs the same lemon-mint with Evening Calm, Himalayan lavender and chamomile, the two least declarative scents in the range; Evening Calm is the name on a bottle of lavender and chamomile and not a description of an effect. Warmth & Bloom at ₹1,598 pairs Fresh Brew, Coorg coffee and Kerala vanilla, with Garden Bloom, British rose and night-blooming jasmine - the most declarative of the three, and the one that most clearly reads as chosen rather than as something bought by the case. For a client whose house you have just finished, that last quality can be exactly right or exactly wrong, and you are better placed than anybody to know which. No pairing is universally liked and none should be described that way.
The SOSA gift edit
Four handover gifts at similar money, and what each one invites
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| A decorative object · any price | A vase, a tray, a bowl, a small artwork. It enters the category the client has spent months pricing, so it is read against that scale on the spot and is the cheapest entry in it. Spend more and it competes instead, which is worse. It is also permanent, so the comparison is available to be re-run every day. |
| One 50ml reed · ₹749 to ₹849 | Escapes the comparison completely and is the honest choice if you only mean to cover one room. About 6 to 10 weeks, no flame, no socket. It falls short of a handover for a whole house only in scope: one bottle handles one room, so it reads as a gesture towards the house rather than to it. |
| A 50ml duo set · ₹1,498 to ₹1,598 | Two 50ml bottles in one box, two small-to-medium rooms, nothing to assemble. Where a handover gift usually lands, and where a designer's knowledge of the rooms pays off. It fails if both rooms are genuinely large and open, where it is under-scaled, and if you wanted a pairing SOSA does not publish. |
| A 130ml duo set · ₹2,498 to ₹2,598 | The same three pairings in the larger bottle, for two genuinely large open rooms. Buy it because you drew those rooms, never because the project was expensive. It fails visibly in two closed bedrooms - both bottles get moved - and it is the wrong way to make a gift proportionate to a fee. |
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 →
Three practical points to close on. First, the ladder. One 50ml is ₹749 to ₹849, one 130ml is ₹1,249 to ₹1,349, a 50ml duo is ₹1,498 to ₹1,598, and no reed diffuser and no duo set is published between ₹1,598 and ₹2,398 before the 130ml duo at ₹2,498 - the ₹1,899 Sukoon sits in that band but is a machine and a different kind of gift. So a handover budget of around ₹2,000 is answered by the 50ml duo coming in under it, not by stretching to use it up. Second, continuation. refills are ₹2,399 for 300ml and ₹3,499 for 500ml for four of the five scents, with Evening Calm the exception and none published - and Evening Calm is half of the ₹1,498 Day & Night set. Third, what SOSA does not do. No gift wrap, no ribbon, no message-card service, no engraving, no gift box service, and no curation or specification service for a designer. The only branding available anywhere is custom label or logo on product. SOSA publishes no bulk rate, no minimum order quantity, no slab, no volume discount, no lead time and no dispatch window, and everything commercial is settled on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531.
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
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
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
One message, one honest recommendation
Tell SOSA who it is for, roughly how big the room is, whether their home is already scented and what you want to spend - and you will be told which size and which scent, including the times the honest answer is the 50ml rather than the 130ml.
A gift loses a comparison it was never meant to be in. The trick is not to spend more until it wins - it is to hand over something that was never on the list the client has been pricing all year.
— 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.

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.
Not sure whether one bottle or two? Tell SOSA on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 four things: how many rooms you actually want handled, roughly how big and how open those rooms are, whether the home is already scented, and what you want to spend. You will get one straight answer rather than a catalogue - including the times the honest answer is a single 50ml rather than a duo, or two separate bottles rather than one of the three published sets. What is not on this page, because SOSA does not publish it: any square-footage rating for a reed, any duration beyond about 6 to 10 weeks, any bulk rate, minimum order quantity, slab or volume discount, any dispatch or delivery timing, and any payment or invoicing term. There are three duo sets and the pairings are fixed - no set is composed to order, there is no three-bottle set, and there is no hamper, gift box, wrapping, ribbon or message-card service. Bulk orders are welcome and custom label or logo on product is available; that is the whole of the branding offer and everything commercial is a conversation on WhatsApp. Bespoke composition, a fragrance composed for you by Sonal, is a real SOSA service and is also discussed there. Where SOSA is: SOSA is an Indian fragrance house based in Pune and sends orders across India. There is no SOSA shop, stockist, counter or warehouse in any other city, so anything here about Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mysuru or anywhere else is about the homes in those cities and not about a local branch.

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
Why does a decorative handover gift feel wrong when the interiors were expensive?
Because it joins a category the client has spent months pricing, so it gets measured against those numbers immediately and comes off as the cheapest object in it. Spending more does not fix it; it turns the gift into a competitor instead, and a permanent one, since the object stays in the room.
How does fragrance avoid that?
It is not the same kind of object and there is no shared price scale. A reed diffuser is a consumable standing on a surface, not a furnishing that occupies a design decision, and most clients have no idea what one costs. It also finishes in about 6 to 10 weeks, so it never becomes a permanent fixture to be re-priced.
Should the gift be one diffuser or a duo set?
A duo is a second room, not a bigger gift for the same room. The 50ml duo at Rs 1,498 to Rs 1,598 suits two small-to-medium rooms and the 130ml duo at Rs 2,498 to Rs 2,598 suits two genuinely large open rooms. As the designer you know which the client has, which is the advantage an ordinary gifter does not have.
Can we specify the two fragrances that go in the set?
No. There are three published pairings: Day and Night at Rs 1,498, Fresh and Grounded at Rs 1,548 and Warmth and Bloom at Rs 1,598, with the same three at Rs 2,498 to Rs 2,598 in 130ml. No set is composed to order and there is no three-bottle set. Any other combination is two separate bottles, which is a fine answer and simply is not a box.
What does SOSA do about presentation for a client handover?
Nothing beyond the box the product is sold in. There is no gift wrap, no ribbon, no message-card service, no engraving and no gift box service, and no curation or specification service for a designer. A duo set is already one box, which is why it answers the presentation question on its own. The only branding anywhere is a custom label or logo on product, discussed on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531.
Take the next step
Hand over something that is not on the list they have been pricing
A 50ml duo from ₹1,498 for two ordinary rooms, which is where most handovers land. A 130ml duo from ₹2,498 where you drew two large open rooms and know they will take it. A single 50ml from ₹749 when one room is honestly the whole intention. Describe the rooms on WhatsApp and you will get one recommendation 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.
