Founder Diaries · Attars, Fragrance Discovery & Buying for Known Taste
By Sonal Sahani · ISIPCA Versailles 10 min read Updated September 2026
Almost everything written about a first fragrance gift is about scent. Your question is really about arithmetic. A single 12ml attar is ₹1,149 to ₹1,199, which puts an entire gift budget behind one composition before anybody has worn it for a week. Three 3ml bottles in the published trio are ₹1,055, and SOSA publishes a 3ml at roughly 60 wears at one dab. The scents are not the variable you control - the published trio is one fixed set of three - but the number of different compositions your money buys is entirely yours to decide, and that is the decision worth making on purpose rather than by default.
SOSA Attar Trio, Ameeri Nawaab and Mastani, from Rs 1,055
SOSA Attar Trio · Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani · 3ml, 6ml or 12ml from ₹1,055 →
The set most of these questions arrive at, and the one fact most of them get wrong: it is a fixed combination. The SOSA Attar Trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - ₹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 singly. All three bottles come in the size you pick, Adaa is not in it, and nobody chooses the three. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle.
Quick answers — read this first
Is one bottle or three smaller bottles the better first fragrance gift? That is a budget question rather than a taste question. A single 12ml attar is ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 and commits the whole sum to one composition. The SOSA Attar Trio is ₹1,055 for three 3ml bottles, and a 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab, so each of the three gets worn properly rather than sniffed. Which one anybody keeps wearing is not something SOSA publishes.

Is the SOSA trio assembled around the person receiving it? No. It is one published combination - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - with all three bottles in the single size you select. Adaa, the lightest of the four, is sold on its own from ₹379 and sits outside that combination. A different three, or three different sizes, means buying the bottles individually at full price.

What do the three trio tiers cost? ₹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 one at a time - a saving of ₹118, ₹204 and ₹354, which is ten per cent at every tier.
The short answer
Short answer: Divide the budget before choosing anything. One 12ml attar is Rs 1,149 to Rs 1,199; the fixed SOSA Attar Trio is Rs 1,055 in 3 x 3ml, Rs 1,859 in 3 x 6ml and Rs 3,189 in 3 x 12ml, and a 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab. The trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani every time, all in one size, with Adaa sold on its own from Rs 379.
The pick: The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when the point is to put three compositions in front of somebody instead of one, and Adaa on its own from ₹379 when what you already know is that the taste running through the house is light and citrus-led.
Why: A 12ml ties the whole budget to one composition before it has been worn for a week. Three 3ml bottles at roughly 60 wears each divide the same money across three, and the judgement about which to keep wearing stays with the person wearing them.
You know what they wear. That is a starting point, not an answer.Three to smell - the published Attar Trio, ₹1,055 in 3 x 3mlOne to commit to - a single 12ml attar, ₹1,149 to ₹1,199The trio is always the same three, always one sizeNever - a promise about what they will like
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
My sister wants to start collecting fragrance but I do not want her first gift to lock most of the budget into one scent she may eventually outgrow - could smaller options encourage exploration?
Yes, and it is worth being precise about what the smaller format buys, because it is not simply a smaller version of the same gift. A 12ml attar at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 is a supply decision: one composition, enough of it to wear for a long time, chosen by you. The SOSA Attar Trio at ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml is a different shape of purchase entirely - three separate compositions, and SOSA publishes a 3ml at roughly 60 wears at one dab, which is enough to wear each of them on ordinary days rather than assessing them at a counter. The three are Ameeri - Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, Persian saffron, a soft oudh and amber; Nawaab - white royal oud with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, published as the deepest of the four; and Mastani - night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown developing after the first 30 minutes. Now the limits, because they change the order you should buy in. The trio is a fixed combination: nobody selects the three, all three bottles come in one size, and Adaa is not part of it. SOSA publishes the box as an evening set of depth, warmth and floral, so if the fragrance already in the house is bright and citrus-led, the honest route is Adaa on its own from ₹379 rather than the pack. And no page can tell you which of the three gets used up first, because SOSA holds no information of that kind. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
One 12ml is one composition. Three 3ml bottles at ₹1,055 are three - and the three are fixed at Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani.
The short version: 3 x 3ml at ₹1,055 divides the budget across three compositions at roughly 60 wears each; a single 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 puts all of it behind one. Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani every time, all in one size, with Adaa sold on its own from ₹379.
The SOSA Attar Trio from ₹1,055

How a first fragrance budget actually divides

The useful reframing here is that you are not choosing a scent yet. You are choosing how many compositions the budget buys, and everything else follows from that. The three things below are what actually move the number.

01
The split
A first gift is a budget decision before it is a scent decision
Put the two shapes side by side and the difference stops being about price. One 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 buys a large amount of a single composition that somebody else picked. Three 3ml at ₹1,055 buys a moderate amount of three, and the three are not variations on one idea - warm rose and saffron, white royal oud, and night jasmine over a base. Neither is the responsible answer in general. The 12ml is right when the direction is already settled and the job is supply; the three are right when the direction is the open question and the job is to close it with evidence rather than with your opinion.
Tip: Decide how many compositions the money buys before deciding which.
02
What the box is
One published combination, and the fourth attar sits outside it
This is the fact most versions of this question get wrong, so it is worth stating flatly. The SOSA Attar Trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, every time, with all three bottles in the single size you pick - ₹1,055 for three 3ml, ₹1,859 for three 6ml, ₹3,189 for three 12ml. It is not assembled around anybody's taste and it cannot be recomposed. Adaa, the lightest of the four and the only one publishing a citrus opening, is sold separately from ₹379. SOSA's own page says that a different three, or three different sizes, means buying the bottles individually and the trio price no longer applying.
03
Why the smallest tier counts
Roughly sixty wears is what separates a trial from a sniff
A small bottle is only a token if it runs out before an opinion forms. SOSA publishes a 3ml at roughly 60 wears at one dab, which is enough to wear the same attar on an ordinary Tuesday, live with what it does after the first thirty minutes, and repeat that several times before deciding anything. Three of those for ₹1,055 is a genuine sequence of trials. The ₹1,859 and ₹3,189 tiers are supply rather than trial, and they make sense once you already expect all three to be worn out. SOSA publishes no wear figure at all for the 6ml or the 12ml, so nobody should be multiplying that sixty up on your behalf.
Tip: Sixty wears is enough to change your mind twice and still have some left.
SOSA Adaa attar, bergamot cardamom and jasmine sambac
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
Settle it in this order and the size stops being a guess
  1. Fix the budget first, then ask how many compositions it should buy.
  2. Check the box against what you know: it is published as an evening set.
  3. Adaa is the light, citrus-led one and is bought on its own from Rs 379.
  4. Then pick the tier: Rs 1,055 to try three, Rs 3,189 to supply three.
The SOSA principle
Breadth is not a hedge against getting it wrong. It is the only version of this gift where the person wearing it gets a vote.
Which is why the smallest tier here is the matched one rather than the economical one.

The three in the box, the one outside it, and what each tier buys

What sits in the box is three compositions that argue with each other, which is the point of buying three. Ameeri is rose and saffron led - Taif rose and Persian saffron over Indian sandalwood, with a soft oudh underneath and amber in the base. Nawaab is white royal oud first, dry and woody, with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, and SOSA publishes it as the deepest of the four. Mastani is the floral one with weight under it - night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka. All three carry oudh somewhere in the list; Adaa is the only one of the four with none, which is worth knowing if what you want is three genuinely unlike things rather than three depths of the same idea.

The SOSA gift edit
Four ways to spend a first-fragrance budget, and where each one runs out
The option Who it suits, and where it fails
One 12ml attar at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 The largest published size of a single attar, and the whole budget behind one composition somebody else picked. Right when the direction is already settled; wasteful when it is the thing in question, because there is nothing to compare it against.
The SOSA Attar Trio, 3 x 3ml at ₹1,055 Three fixed compositions at roughly 60 wears each, in one gift-ready box. The limits are real: the three are Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani and cannot be swapped, and SOSA publishes the set as an evening one, so a citrus-led taste is not what it is for.
A single 3ml at ₹379 to ₹399 The smallest sum on this list and the narrowest gift - one composition, roughly 60 wears, no comparison at all. It works as an addition to something else rather than as the whole present.
A 15g solid body perfume from ₹459 The other worn format in the range and the cheapest way to hand over something new. Worth saying plainly: SOSA publishes no wear-time figure for these at all, so this page cannot tell you how long one lasts.
SOSA Attar Trio, three bottles in one gift-ready box
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.

The practical facts matter more than usual on a first fragrance, because the format is unfamiliar. All four SOSA attars are alcohol-free and DPG-free, carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, IFRA-compliant and hand-blended in small batches in Pune. Each bottle has a built-in dab applicator, and the published instruction is to dab on pulse points and not rub. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown developing after the first 30 minutes, and the formulations are heat-stable to 45 degrees C. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin rather than straight onto a dupatta or a shirt collar. 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.

SOSA Attar Trio, Ameeri Nawaab and Mastani, from Rs 1,055
₹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
SOSA Adaa attar, bergamot cardamom and jasmine sambac, from Rs 379
₹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
SOSA Nawaab attar, white royal oud, from Rs 399
₹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
The fact that changes most of these questions
The trio is one published combination. You do not choose the three.
Almost every version of this question arrives phrased as a curation problem - which three directions should I pick for her? - and the honest answer is that the published SOSA Attar Trio is a fixed set: Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, in whichever single size you choose. Adaa, the lightest of the four, is not in it - SOSA publishes it as the daytime attar and sells it on its own. And the trio ships with all three bottles in the same size; SOSA's own page states that a different three, or three different sizes, means buying individually and losing the trio price. So the real decision is not which three. It is whether these three are the right three for what you already know about their taste - and where they are not, the page should say so rather than sell you the box. The prices are ₹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 for the same bottles bought singly. What any of them does on a particular person, and what that person makes of being given them, is not something SOSA publishes and not something this page will invent.

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.

A large first bottle is not a bigger gift. It is the same gift with the comparison removed, and the comparison was the useful part.

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.

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.

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

Can I pick which three attars go in the trio?
No. The SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed combination - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - and all three bottles come in the single size you select. Adaa, the fourth attar, sits outside it and is sold separately at Rs 379 in 3ml, Rs 669 in 6ml and Rs 1,149 in 12ml. SOSA's own product page states that a different three, or three different sizes, means buying the bottles individually and the trio price no longer applies.
Is a 3ml large enough to count as a real present?
SOSA publishes a 3ml at roughly 60 wears at one dab, which is the figure that settles this. Three of them at Rs 1,055 is several weeks of wearing each attar properly rather than testing it on paper. If the intention is supply rather than trial, the 6ml trio at Rs 1,859 and the 12ml trio at Rs 3,189 are the tiers built for that.
What if she does not get on with any of the three?
Then you have spent Rs 1,055 finding that out instead of Rs 1,149 to Rs 1,199 on one bottle and finding it out anyway. That is the honest case for the smaller tier. What SOSA cannot tell you, and this page will not pretend to, is which way that goes - no information about how any person responds to any fragrance is published anywhere on the product pages.
She has never worn an oil attar before. Does the format need explaining?
A little. Each SOSA attar has a built-in dab applicator, and the published instruction is to dab on pulse points rather than rub, because rubbing works against the way the drydown develops after the first 30 minutes. The oils are alcohol-free and DPG-free, carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, and they can stain light silks, so they go on skin and not on fabric.
Could I give the trio and one more bottle together?
Yes, as two lines on one order rather than as a larger set, because the trio itself cannot be extended. The 3 x 3ml trio at Rs 1,055 plus Adaa in 3ml at its own full price of Rs 379 comes to Rs 1,434 for four bottles, and Adaa is the one that brings bergamot, green cardamom and neroli into the group. The trio price applies only to the published three.
SOSA fragrance gift
Take the next step
Decide whether you are buying breadth or depth, then stop deliberating
The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when the point is to put three different things on their skin and find out - roughly 60 wears in each bottle, so it is a real trial rather than a sample. The 3 x 6ml at ₹1,859 or 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 when you already expect all three to be worn. A single 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 when you know the direction and breadth would be wasted. And Adaa on its own from ₹379 when what you know about their taste is that it is light and fresh, because the trio is published as an evening set. Tell SOSA what they already wear 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.

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. Prices and availability are subject to change - see the live product pages.
