III. Heritage विरासत
India's 7,500 kilometres of coastline
Almost everyone in India has a sea breeze they remember. The evening wind on Marine Drive, the salt air on the drive down the Konkan to Goa, the fishing boats at Kochi, a long day on the beach at Puri. It is the feeling of a hot day finally opening up.
The evening wind off the coast, for the days the AC struggles.
“You can't distil the sea, so a sea breeze is pure composition. The craft is restraint: enough salt and air to open up a hot cabin, a soft amber underneath so it doesn't vanish, and nothing that smells like a swimming pool.”Sonal Sahani · Perfumer's note

VI. Questions
What is a sea breeze made of?
A sea breeze cannot be pressed from the sea, so it is always a composed accord. Ours is built from sea-salt freshness, citrus, a light floral heart and soft amber.
Will it smell like a swimming pool?
No. It is balanced as open air, with citrus and a soft amber base, and nothing chlorine-like.
How long does it last?
4 to 6 weeks, depending on heat and how often you drive. Turn the bottle upside down once a week to keep the lid fresh.
Spray or hanging?
The hanging diffuser is soft and always on. The spray is fuller and you decide when. Many people use both, which is why we make The Complete Ritual.
Can I refill it?
Yes. The bottle is refillable glass, and 15ml refills are available. One refill fills it completely.
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 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.
Do you offer returns or replacements?
If it arrives damaged or faulty, we'll replace it. Email service@sosahomeandbody.com within 48 hours of delivery with a photo.
