SOSA · Car Perfume Spray · Warmth & composure
Mysore Sandalwood, when you want it. Fuller, in one mist.
A creamy, warm sandalwood inspired by Mysore chandan, as a fine-fragrance spray. One or two sprays fill the cabin in seconds: before a guest gets in, after lunch, at the end of a long day. In a 10ml to carry or a 50ml to keep.

III. Heritage विरासत
The scent of an Indian home
Chandan was never just a fragrance in India. It was the tikka on a grandfather's forehead, the paste offered at the temple, the small piece of sandalwood a mother kept between folded saris so the almirah smelled of it for years. For more than a century, Mysore has been the name India gives to the finest of it.
The warmth of the almirah and the pooja room, now on every drive.
“Real Mysore sandalwood is now too rare to put in a car, and pretending otherwise isn't our way. So I studied what makes chandan feel like chandan, that creamy, milky warmth, and built it to stay soft in a sealed, hot cabin instead of turning smoky like incense.”Sonal Sahani · Perfumer's note
IV. Is it yours?
You'll love it if
- You grew up around chandan or a pooja room
- You find oud too heavy and citrus too light
- You want warmth rather than freshness
- You want a gift an elder will recognise

V. The details
How to use
- Spray once toward the centre of the cabin, away from seats and leather.
- Add a second spray when you want it fuller.
- Give it 30 seconds to settle.
- Like any fine fragrance, keep it away from flame and off a sunny dashboard. The glove box is its home.

VI. Questions
Is this pure Mysore sandalwood?
No, and we'd rather say so. True Mysore sandalwood is rare, protected and costs many times more than this product. This is a sandalwood blend composed to recreate the creamy character of Mysore chandan.
Will it smell like agarbatti?
No. It is creamy and milky rather than smoky, balanced to stay soft in a closed car.
Why is there alcohol in the spray?
The spray uses perfumer's alcohol, the traditional base of fine fragrance. It carries the scent into the air as a fine mist and evaporates within seconds, so what stays in your car is the fragrance, not the alcohol. Spray toward the centre of the cabin, away from seats and leather. If you prefer something softer and slower, the hanging diffuser releases the scent gradually over weeks.
10ml or 50ml?
Same formula, same strength per spray. The 10ml gives about 100 sprays, roughly 50 days at two a day, and fits a handbag. The 50ml gives about 500 sprays, roughly 8 months, for people who already know they love it.
Does it work in monsoon and summer heat?
Yes. In May 2026, in Pune, we ran it through a 72-hour test in sealed parked cars, with heat up to 45°C and humidity up to 85% RH. Our internal panel rated scent stability and intensity, and the character held steady across the test. This was our own product testing, not a clinical study.
Will it give me a headache? I'm sensitive to fragrance.
It's composed to stay soft in a closed car: you notice it without it filling the cabin. It's IFRA-compliant and made to be gentle. If you're pregnant, have asthma or a known fragrance sensitivity, check with your doctor before using any fragrance in a closed car, start with a single spray and keep the car ventilated.
How long does shipping take?
Orders ship the next working day and arrive in 3 to 5 days, depending on where you are.
