Founder Diaries · Attars, Fragrance Discovery & Buying for Known Taste
What is in the SOSA Attar Trio, and is any of it citrus? None of it. The trio is one fixed combination - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - with all three bottles in the size you select, at ₹1,055 for 3 x 3ml. All three are published as evening directions: warm rose and saffron, white royal oud, and night-blooming jasmine with Damask rose. SOSA's own page lists a preference for fresh, light, citrusy attars as a reason not to buy it.
So what actually helps when all you know is the word citrus? Two things. The published note list, which you can read before you order: bergamot is a citrus oil, neroli is the orange-blossom distillate, so one bottle in the range is built at that end. And quantity - a 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab, which is enough to wear one direction properly rather than guess at four. If it needs to be narrower than that, ask SOSA on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531.

Citrus is not a direction, it is a shelf. Lemon is sharp and short. Bergamot is a citrus oil with a bitter, tea-like edge. Neroli comes from the blossom of the bitter orange tree and smells floral rather than juicy. Sweet orange is a third thing again, and the two categories usually filed beside citrus - aromatic freshness, built on herbs, and aquatic freshness - contain no citrus at all. So knowing that somebody likes citrus narrows the field enormously and identifies nothing inside it. The instinct to hand over several small bottles rather than one large guess is the right instinct. The awkward part, and this page is going to be blunt about it, is that the SOSA range cannot answer a citrus question with a multi-scent set, because it holds exactly one attar at that end.
The only attar SOSA publishes at the light end of its range. Adaa is bergamot-led, with green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac and magnolia over white musk, vetiver and cedarwood - ₹379 in 3ml, ₹669 in 6ml and ₹1,149 in 12ml. The published trio is a different proposition entirely: Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, none of them citrus, all of them published as evening directions. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin.
Quick answers — read this first
Is a multi-scent set safer than guessing one full-size citrus fragrance? As reasoning, yes - several small bottles put the decision on the person who has to wear it. In this range specifically it does not settle a citrus question, because SOSA publishes one attar at the light end. Adaa is bergamot-led - bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood - at ₹379 in 3ml. There is no second citrus composition to set beside it.What is in the SOSA Attar Trio, and is any of it citrus? None of it.

The short answer
Short answer: Citrus is a family, not a direction. A multi-scent set would settle it only if the set spread across citrus, and the SOSA range holds one attar at the light end: Adaa, bergamot-led, at Rs 379 in 3ml, Rs 669 in 6ml and Rs 1,149 in 12ml. The published trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, an evening set with no citrus in it.
The pick: Adaa at ₹379 in 3ml - the one light, bergamot-led attar SOSA publishes, and the only honest answer to a citrus question inside this range.
Why: A set is only wider than a bottle in the direction it actually spreads. Three evening attars spread downward, not across citrus, so the box changes the subject rather than answering it.
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
I know the recipient likes citrus but I do not know whether that means lemon, bergamot, orange, aromatic freshness or aquatic freshness. Is a multi-scent set safer than guessing one full-size fragrance?
The reasoning behind your question is sound, and the answer for this particular range is still no. A multi-scent set settles a subtype question only when the set contains several versions of that subtype. SOSA publishes four attars and one trio, and exactly one of the four sits at the light end. That is Adaa - bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood - at ₹379 in 3ml, ₹669 in 6ml and ₹1,149 in 12ml. There is no lemon attar, no sweet-orange attar and no aquatic attar anywhere in the range, so no assortment of SOSA bottles can put two citrus subtypes side by side for comparison. The published trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani at ₹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 one at a time. It is fixed, all three bottles come in one size, and SOSA's own page lists fresh and citrusy taste as a reason not to buy it. So the honest routes are these. Adaa on its own, which is one light direction tested properly at roughly 60 wears in a 3ml. Adaa alongside one deeper bottle, bought individually at full price because the trio price attaches only to its own fixed three. Or the trio, bought with your eyes open, on the understanding that it explores depth rather than citrus. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown developing after the first thirty minutes. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
Citrus names a family, not a bottle. SOSA publishes one attar at that end, and the box is not where it lives.
The short version: Adaa at ₹379 in 3ml if citrus is a rule rather than a starting point, the 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 if you have decided to go deeper instead of sideways, and both, bought individually if you want the contrast. The published trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani every time.

Three things that settle this, and the first is what citrus is not
The question underneath this one is how much a single word about somebody's taste actually tells you. Citrus tells you a great deal about what they are not after and very little about what they are. These three things settle the purchase.
01
What the word covers
Citrus is a shelf of materials, not a single direction
Lemon oil is sharp and fleeting. Bergamot is a citrus oil with a bitter, tea-like edge and is the citrus most often used to open a composition. Neroli is distilled from the blossom of the bitter orange tree and is floral rather than juicy. Sweet orange is a third material again. And the two categories usually filed beside citrus - aromatic freshness, built on herbs, and aquatic freshness, built on marine-type notes - carry no citrus at all. So the word narrows the field without naming anything inside it. That is a boundary, and a boundary is genuinely useful: it tells you which direction to stay away from. It does not tell you which bottle to buy.
Tip: A boundary is not a target. Citrus draws one and names nothing.
02
What the range holds
One attar sits at the light end, and it is sold on its own
SOSA publishes four attars and one trio, and that is the whole of it. Adaa is the light one - bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac and magnolia over white musk, vetiver and cedarwood - at ₹379 in 3ml, ₹669 in 6ml and ₹1,149 in 12ml. The other three are Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, and those three are the published trio, always in that combination, always with all three bottles in the size you select.
Which means a multi-scent set here cannot do the job you want from it. There is no lemon attar, no sweet-orange attar and no aquatic attar to compare against. Buying the box gives you three evening directions and no citrus at all, and buying three bottles individually gives you one light direction and two that are not, at full price with no trio price on them.

03
What sixty wears buys
One direction worn properly beats four guessed at once
If you cannot compare citrus subtypes inside this range, the next best thing is to test one of them thoroughly. A 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab, which is the figure that separates a trial from a sniff: enough to wear Adaa on an ordinary working morning, notice what the drydown does after the first thirty minutes, and form a view that is not a shop-counter reaction. At ₹379 that is the smallest sensible experiment SOSA publishes. If the direction is already settled and you want supply instead of evidence, the 12ml at ₹1,149 is the same composition in a bottle nobody has to ration.
Tip: Roughly sixty wears is what makes one bottle an answer rather than a sample.
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
Work through it in this order and the citrus question stops mattering
- Decide whether citrus is a rule you must respect or just where they started.
- If it is a rule, Adaa from Rs 379 is the only bottle in the range that keeps it.
- If it is a starting point, the trio at Rs 1,055 goes deeper, not sideways.
- Then pick the size. 3ml is roughly 60 wears; 12ml is supply, not a trial.
The SOSA principle
A set is only wider than a bottle in the direction it actually spreads. Three evening attars spread downward, not across citrus.
Which is why the honest recommendation on this page is one small bottle rather than three.
What sits at the light end of the SOSA range, and what does not
Here is the whole light end of the range, so you can hold it against what you already know. Adaa opens on bergamot with green cardamom beside it, and carries neroli, jasmine sambac and magnolia over white musk, vetiver and cedarwood. That is one published composition at the bright end and there is no second one to set beside it. The other three go the other way. Ameeri is Taif rose and Persian saffron over Indian sandalwood, with a measured oudh and amber. Nawaab is white royal oud with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, published as the deepest of the four. Mastani is night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka. Those last three are the published trio. If citrus is the thing you know, the box is the wrong shape and the single bottle is the right one.
The SOSA gift edit
Four ways to spend the money when citrus is all you have to go on
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| A full-size fragrance in one guessed citrus subtype | The option your question is trying to avoid, and rightly. Lemon, bergamot, neroli and aquatic freshness are four different purchases, and a large bottle in the wrong one of them is a large object that has to sit somewhere for years. |
| The SOSA Attar Trio, 3 x 3ml at ₹1,055 | Three directions in one gift-ready box, ten per cent under the same bottles bought singly, with roughly 60 wears in each. It widens the gift and it does not answer the citrus question: SOSA's own page lists fresh and citrusy taste as a reason not to buy it. |
| Adaa on its own, ₹379 in 3ml | The one light attar SOSA publishes - bergamot-led, with neroli and jasmine sambac. It tests the end of the spectrum you already know something about, at roughly 60 wears. What it cannot do is tell you which citrus subtype was meant, because no other citrus attar exists here. |
| Adaa plus one deeper bottle, bought individually | Adaa at ₹379 with, say, Ameeri at ₹385 in 3ml - one light direction and one warm one, at full price because the trio price covers only its own fixed three. Useful when you want a contrast rather than a subtype comparison. |
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 practical notes are the same across all four bottles and they decide more purchases than the scent does. Every SOSA attar is an alcohol-free oil, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant and skin-safe, carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba and hand-blended in small batches in Pune. Each bottle has a built-in dab applicator: the published instruction is to dab on pulse points and not to rub. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin rather than straight onto a collar or a scarf. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours, longer on warm or oily skin, and nothing beyond that is published anywhere - no projection figure, no room-distance claim and nothing about how a given composition behaves on a given person. 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.
You can buy breadth, or you can buy the right end of the range. On a citrus question those are not the same purchase.
— 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
Does the SOSA Attar Trio contain a citrus or fresh scent?
No. The trio is a fixed combination of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, and all three are published as evening directions - warm rose and saffron, white royal oud, and night jasmine with Damask rose. SOSA's own page lists a preference for fresh, light, citrusy attars as a reason not to buy it. The light attar in the range is sold on its own from Rs 379.
Can I buy a set with two or three different citrus attars in it?
No, because SOSA publishes only one attar at that end. The four attars are Adaa, Ameeri, Mastani and Nawaab, and only Adaa is built on bergamot and neroli. There is no lemon attar, no sweet-orange attar and no aquatic attar, so nothing exists inside the range to compare it against. A multi-scent set here widens the gift into depth, not across citrus.
Is bergamot the same thing as orange or lemon?
They are different materials. Bergamot is a citrus oil with a bitter, tea-like character and is the citrus most often used to open a composition. Neroli is distilled from the blossom of the bitter orange tree and is floral rather than juicy. Lemon is sharper and shorter-lived. Adaa carries bergamot and neroli together with green cardamom, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood.
If I buy Adaa and it is the wrong kind of citrus, what then?
Then you have spent Rs 379 on a 3ml rather than a full-size bottle, which is the practical argument for the small size. SOSA publishes a 3ml at roughly 60 wears at one dab, so the bottle gets a proper run before any verdict is reached. What anybody concludes after that is not something SOSA publishes any information about, and no page should pretend otherwise.
How long does each attar wear, and is that published anywhere?
The published figure is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown developing after the first thirty minutes. That is the whole of SOSA's wear disclosure. There is no sillage or projection figure on any attar page, and none is invented here.
Take the next step
When the only thing you know is the word citrus, buy narrow and buy small
Adaa at ₹379 in 3ml is the one bottle in the range built at the light end - bergamot, green cardamom, neroli and jasmine sambac - and roughly 60 wears is enough to find out properly. Adaa in 12ml at ₹1,149 when the direction is already settled and you want supply. The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 only if you have decided to explore depth instead: it is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, fixed, and SOSA lists fresh and citrusy taste as a reason not to buy it. Tell SOSA what you actually know 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.

Tell SOSA on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 which citrus you mean, or that the word is all you have, and you will get one straight answer - including the answer that Adaa on its own from ₹379 is the whole recommendation and the box is not for this.

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.
