Based on daily activities, fragrance preferences, proximity to others, climate and budget, which everyday attar should I investigate?

SOSA Founder Diaries · Safar ownership

Five inputs, and the useful thing I can do first is tell you which of them the record can actually answer. Your preferences, your budget and part of your daily activities have published answers. Your proximity to other people and your climate do not, and a page that pretended otherwise would be inventing two of your five inputs.

By Sonal Sahani, founder and perfumer · 10 minute read · SOSA Home & Body, Pune

Published: four pyramids, four occasion lines, strength figures Adaa 8.5, Ameeri 9.0, Mastani 9.2, Nawaab 9.5, a wear time of 6 to 8 hours on skin, and twelve prices from Rs 379 to Rs 1,199. Not published: any projection figure, any season label, and any occasion line naming an errand.

Answer in brief

  • Which of my five inputs can the record answer? Three. Fragrance preferences answer to the four published pyramids, budget to the twelve published prices, and daily activities partly to the four occasion lines. Proximity and climate have no published answer at all.
  • So which everyday attar should I investigate? Adaa, ₹379 for 3ml, on three published grounds: Adaa's published strength figure is 8.5, the lightest end of the range. Adaa publishes its occasion line as office hours, business lunches, daytime weddings, meetings and summer wear. And it is the cheapest bottle in the range at every size.
  • What is missing, exactly? SOSA publishes no projection figure and no sillage figure for any attar, so no page of mine will turn a strength figure into a distance or into a claim about a shared room. And no attar in the range carries a season label, so climate has no published answer either.

The short answer

Investigate Adaa, Rs 379 for 3ml, Rs 669 for 6ml and Rs 1,149 for 12ml. Three of your five inputs have published answers: preferences answer to the four pyramids, budget to the twelve prices, and activities partly to the occasion lines, of which Adaa's names office hours, business lunches, daytime weddings, meetings and summer wear. Proximity and climate have no published answer - there is no projection figure and no season label in the range. Adaa publishes the lightest strength figure at 8.5 and carries 4.9 from 98 published customer reviews.

The two inputs with no published answer: proximity and climate. SOSA publishes no projection figure and no sillage figure for any attar, and no attar in the range carries a season label, so neither of those two inputs can be answered from the record and neither will be answered by guesswork here.

Based on my daily activities, fragrance preferences, proximity to others, climate and budget, which everyday attar should I investigate?

You have given me five inputs and the first useful thing is to sort them, because three of them the record answers and two of them it does not, and knowing which is which is worth more than a recommendation. Start with the ones that work. Fragrance preferences answer to the four published pyramids, and those are printed in full. Adaa publishes Calabrian bergamot, green cardamom and neroli in its opening, jasmine sambac, magnolia and ylang ylang in its heart, and white musk, vetiver and cedarwood in its base. Ameeri publishes Persian saffron, pink pepper and bergamot in its opening, Taif rose and Indian sandalwood in its heart, and soft oudh, amber and white musk in its base. Mastani publishes litchi, bergamot and pink pepper in its opening, night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose in its heart, and Mysore sandalwood, oudh, Madagascar vanilla and tonka bean in its base. Nawaab publishes Kashmir saffron, black pepper and cardamom in its opening, white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf in its heart, and amber, leather and white musk in its base. Madagascar vanilla and tonka bean are published in Mastani's base and in no other pyramid in this range, so a reader who dislikes sweetness can rule one bottle out on published words and keep the other three. So a single dislike can remove a bottle on printed words, which is the most efficient thing in this whole range. Budget answers to twelve published prices. Every attar is sold in three sizes. The 3ml bottles run ₹379 to ₹399, the 6ml bottles ₹669 to ₹699, and the 12ml bottles ₹1,149 to ₹1,199. Adaa is the cheapest at every size, at ₹379, ₹669 and ₹1,149, and Nawaab the dearest at ₹399, ₹699 and ₹1,199. Every 12ml bottle in the range is under ₹1,200, so budget is a size decision rather than a quality one. Daily activities answer partly, and the part that does not answer is worth saying out loud. No occasion line in this range names a gym, a yoga class, a wellness studio, a cafe or an errand. The closest the record comes is Adaa's line, and what Adaa's line actually names is office hours, business lunches, daytime weddings, meetings and summer wear, which is an office line and a summer line rather than anything to do with exercise. Adaa publishes its occasion line as office hours, business lunches, daytime weddings, meetings and summer wear. Ameeri publishes its occasion line as Diwali, Eid, Karwa Chauth, family weddings and festive dinners. Mastani publishes its occasion line as anniversaries, date nights, evening receptions and signature wear. Nawaab publishes its occasion line as weddings, boardrooms, important evenings and signature wear. Between them those four lines name an office, a festival, an anniversary and a boardroom, which covers a good deal of a life and none of the ordinary middle of a week. Now the two that do not answer. Proximity to others: SOSA publishes no projection figure and no sillage figure for any attar, so no page of mine will turn a strength figure into a distance or into a claim about a shared room. SOSA publishes no projection figure and no sillage figure for any attar, and that gap cuts in both directions at once. I cannot tell you that one of these attars will be noticed across the room, and I cannot tell you that it will not be noticed across the room either, because neither sentence has a figure behind it. Climate: no attar in this range carries a season label, and Adaa's occasion line naming summer wear is an occasion line rather than a season rating. The one published sentence that touches warmth is the wear line, and I will quote it rather than extend it. All four publish the same wear time, 6 to 8 hours on skin, longer on warm or oily skin, and nothing beyond that figure is published. So, with three inputs answered and two named as gaps, here is the recommendation and the three published grounds it stands on. Adaa's published strength figure is 8.5, the lightest end of the range. Adaa publishes its occasion line as office hours, business lunches, daytime weddings, meetings and summer wear. And it is the cheapest bottle in the range at every one of the three sizes. Adaa's mood line reads light, elegant, composed, distinctive without being loud. Adaa publishes its gender line as unisex, and the most genuinely gender-fluid attar in the range. It is ₹379 for 3ml, ₹669 for 6ml and ₹1,149 for 12ml. Adaa carries 4.9 from 98 published customer reviews. Those are customer reviews Sonal collated over WhatsApp, which is why I quote the count beside the figure rather than the figure on its own. If your week leans towards evenings rather than days, the published line that names them belongs to a different bottle. Mastani publishes its occasion line as anniversaries, date nights, evening receptions and signature wear. Mastani's published strength figure is 9.2, the sensual depth end of the range. It is ₹389 for 3ml. Mastani carries 4.9 from 112 published customer reviews. Madagascar vanilla and tonka bean are published in its base and in no other pyramid in the range. The Pack of 3 is ₹1,055 for the 3ml set, ₹1,859 for 6ml and ₹3,189 for 12ml, and it holds Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani. Adaa is not in it. The strength figures are SOSA's own self-assigned scores out of ten, on a scale SOSA invented and nobody else uses: Adaa 8.5, Ameeri 9.0, Mastani 9.2 and Nawaab 9.5. Read those four together and notice how narrow the band is. One point separates the lightest published figure from the deepest, and there is nothing in the range that SOSA scores below 8.5, so no bottle here is published as a faint one. The attar pages carry no fragrance family label of the kind the car fragrance pages carry. What they publish instead is a three-tier pyramid, a mood line, a gender line, an occasion line, a self-assigned strength figure and a wear time. All four are the same format: a concentrated oil attar with a built-in dab applicator, carried in sandalwood oil and jojoba, alcohol-free and DPG-free. Sonal Sahani trained at ISIPCA, Versailles, she designs all four attars herself, and she signs off every small batch by hand in Pune. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.

In one line: Three of your five inputs have published answers and two do not. On preferences, activities and budget the answer is Adaa, the lightest published figure at 8.5 and the cheapest at every size, Rs 379 for 3ml with 4.9 from 98 published customer reviews. Proximity and climate have no published answer.

Five inputs, sorted into the three that answer and the two that do not

The sorting is the service. Preferences, budget and part of your activities have published answers in this range. Proximity and climate have none, and a page that supplied them would be making up two fifths of your brief.

1

The three that answer - preferences, budget and part of activities

Preferences answer to the pyramids. Adaa publishes Calabrian bergamot, green cardamom and neroli in its opening, jasmine sambac, magnolia and ylang ylang in its heart, and white musk, vetiver and cedarwood in its base. Madagascar vanilla and tonka bean are published in Mastani's base and in no other pyramid in this range, so a reader who dislikes sweetness can rule one bottle out on published words and keep the other three. Budget answers to twelve prices. Every attar is sold in three sizes. The 3ml bottles run ₹379 to ₹399, the 6ml bottles ₹669 to ₹699, and the 12ml bottles ₹1,149 to ₹1,199. Activities answer to the occasion lines, as far as they go. Adaa publishes its occasion line as office hours, business lunches, daytime weddings, meetings and summer wear. Mastani publishes its occasion line as anniversaries, date nights, evening receptions and signature wear. Three inputs, three published fields, and every one of them checkable on the product page before you spend a rupee. Adaa carries 4.9 from 98 published customer reviews.

Adaa ₹379 at 3ml, the cheapest bottle in the range.

2

Proximity to others - no published figure, in either direction

SOSA publishes no projection figure and no sillage figure for any attar, so no page of mine will turn a strength figure into a distance or into a claim about a shared room. SOSA publishes no projection figure and no sillage figure for any attar, and that gap cuts in both directions at once. I cannot tell you that one of these attars will be noticed across the room, and I cannot tell you that it will not be noticed across the room either, because neither sentence has a figure behind it. This is the input readers most want answered and the one the record says least about. The self-assigned strength figures are the nearest thing, and they are not distances. The strength figures are SOSA's own self-assigned scores out of ten, on a scale SOSA invented and nobody else uses: Adaa 8.5, Ameeri 9.0, Mastani 9.2 and Nawaab 9.5. Read those four together and notice how narrow the band is. One point separates the lightest published figure from the deepest, and there is nothing in the range that SOSA scores below 8.5, so no bottle here is published as a faint one. Nothing on this page converts one of those numbers into a metre, a desk or a mat, because nobody has published the conversion.

3

Climate - no season label anywhere in the range

No attar in this range carries a season label, and Adaa's occasion line naming summer wear is an occasion line rather than a season rating. All four publish the same wear time, 6 to 8 hours on skin, longer on warm or oily skin, and nothing beyond that figure is published. That wear line is the one published sentence that mentions warmth, and it is a duration on skin rather than a statement about weather. No occasion line in this range names a gym, a yoga class, a wellness studio, a cafe or an errand. The closest the record comes is Adaa's line, and what Adaa's line actually names is office hours, business lunches, daytime weddings, meetings and summer wear, which is an office line and a summer line rather than anything to do with exercise. So climate drops out of your brief, and what replaces it is the pyramid you actually want to wear.

One wear time for all four. No season label on any of them.

Three of your five inputs have published answers and two do not. Sorting them is worth more to you than a recommendation that quietly invents the other two.

Preferences, budget and activities answer. Proximity and climate do not

SOSA Mastani

Adaa's published pyramid, and the three grounds it stands on

Adaa publishes its opening as Calabrian bergamot, green cardamom and neroli, labelled a clean lifted opening. It publishes its heart as jasmine sambac, magnolia and ylang ylang, labelled soft white florals. It publishes its base as white musk, vetiver and cedarwood, labelled a clean composure drydown. Adaa's mood line reads light, elegant, composed, distinctive without being loud. Adaa publishes its occasion line as office hours, business lunches, daytime weddings, meetings and summer wear. Adaa publishes its gender line as unisex, and the most genuinely gender-fluid attar in the range. Adaa's published strength figure is 8.5, the lightest end of the range. It is ₹379 for 3ml, ₹669 for 6ml and ₹1,149 for 12ml. Adaa carries 4.9 from 98 published customer reviews. Three published grounds, then: the lightest self-assigned figure in the range, the only occasion line that names a working day, and the cheapest price at every one of the three sizes.

Adaa 3ml is ₹379 and the 12ml is ₹1,149, the cheapest bottle in the range at both sizes.

Your five inputs, and what the record carries against each

What you are deciding What is actually published
Daily activities Partly published. Four occasion lines name an office, a festival, an anniversary and a boardroom. None names a gym, a cafe, an errand or a casual outing, so the ordinary middle of a week is not on the record.
Fragrance preferences Fully published. Four three-tier pyramids, four mood lines and four gender lines, all printed. Madagascar vanilla and tonka bean are in Mastani's base and in no other pyramid in the range.
Proximity to others Not published. SOSA states no projection and no sillage figure for any attar, so there is no published answer in either direction and this page will not supply one.
Climate and budget Climate is not published: no attar carries a season label. Budget is fully published: twelve prices from Adaa 3ml ₹379 to Nawaab 12ml ₹1,199, with every 12ml under ₹1,200.

The other three pyramids are here so you can rule them in or out on printed words rather than on my summary of them. Ameeri publishes Persian saffron, pink pepper and bergamot in its opening, Taif rose and Indian sandalwood in its heart, and soft oudh, amber and white musk in its base. Ameeri's mood line reads warm, festive, opulent, never theatrical. Ameeri publishes its occasion line as Diwali, Eid, Karwa Chauth, family weddings and festive dinners. Ameeri's published strength figure is 9.0, the festive warm middle of the range. It is ₹385 for 3ml, ₹679 for 6ml and ₹1,165 for 12ml. Ameeri carries 4.9 from 104 published customer reviews. Mastani publishes litchi, bergamot and pink pepper in its opening, night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose in its heart, and Mysore sandalwood, oudh, Madagascar vanilla and tonka bean in its base. Mastani's mood line reads sensual, romantic, never sweet, never sharp. Mastani publishes its occasion line as anniversaries, date nights, evening receptions and signature wear. Mastani's published strength figure is 9.2, the sensual depth end of the range. It is ₹389 for 3ml, ₹685 for 6ml and ₹1,179 for 12ml. Mastani carries 4.9 from 112 published customer reviews. Nawaab publishes Kashmir saffron, black pepper and cardamom in its opening, white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf in its heart, and amber, leather and white musk in its base. Nawaab publishes aged tobacco leaf in its heart and leather in its base. Nawaab's mood line reads regal, refined, long-wearing, never aggressive. Nawaab publishes its occasion line as weddings, boardrooms, important evenings and signature wear. Nawaab's published strength figure is 9.5, the deepest in the SOSA attar range. It is ₹399 for 3ml, ₹699 for 6ml and ₹1,199 for 12ml. Nawaab carries 4.9 from 86 published customer reviews. The Pack of 3 is ₹1,055 for the 3ml set, ₹1,859 for 6ml and ₹3,189 for 12ml, and it holds Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani. Adaa is not in it.

Two of your five inputs have no published answer. Naming them is worth more than a confident recommendation that quietly filled them in.

Four steps for a five-input brief

  1. Sort your inputs. Three answer from the record and two do not.
  2. Use a dislike to remove a bottle: vanilla and tonka are in one base.
  3. Read the four scores and the four occasion lines side by side.
  4. Then pick a size: Adaa 3ml Rs 379 to try, 12ml Rs 1,149 for the value.

From the founder

I am Sonal Sahani, and I compose every SOSA fragrance myself in Pune. I would rather tell you what we measure than guess at what we do not. If a number is not on the product page, you will not find it invented here.

Three inputs answered, two named as gaps

Adaa publishes the lightest figure at 8.5, the only occasion line naming office hours, and the cheapest price at every size. Proximity and climate are not published.

For the room, not the car

Safar is the car diffuser. The waterless nebuliser refills, ₹1,049 for 100 gm and ₹1,849 for 300 gm, are the pure undiluted oils that SOSA sells for Safar and for Vaayu, its larger waterless diffuser.

Questions people ask

Which everyday attar should I investigate first?

Adaa, on three published grounds: it carries the lightest self-assigned strength figure in the range at 8.5 out of ten, its occasion line is the only one of the four that names office hours and business lunches, and it is the cheapest bottle at every size. It is Rs 379 for 3ml with 4.9 from 98 published customer reviews.

Can SOSA tell me how close I can stand to someone?

No, and nothing here will try. SOSA publishes no projection figure and no sillage figure for any attar, so proximity has no published answer in either direction. What is published is a self-assigned strength score out of ten and a wear time of 6 to 8 hours on skin, longer on warm or oily skin.

Why should I trust a hand-blended Pune attar?

Sonal Sahani, who founded SOSA and trained as a perfumer at ISIPCA, Versailles. She composes all four attars herself, and every small batch is hand-blended in Pune and signed off by her before it goes out. The attar pages publish that training outright, which is the honest answer to why a hand-blended Pune attar is worth reading about at all.

Does any SOSA attar carry a season label?

No. No attar in the range carries a season label, and Adaa's occasion line naming summer wear is an occasion line rather than a season rating. The one published sentence that mentions warmth is the wear time, 6 to 8 hours on skin, longer on warm or oily skin, and that is a duration rather than a weather claim.

What is the cheapest way to start?

The 3ml bottles, which run Rs 379 for Adaa, Rs 385 for Ameeri, Rs 389 for Mastani and Rs 399 for Nawaab. If you want three at once, the Pack of 3 is Rs 1,055 for the 3ml set and holds Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, and Adaa is not in it.

Start with one bottle

Adaa ₹379 for 3ml, 4.9 from 98 published customer reviews, the lightest published strength figure in the range and the cheapest bottle at every size. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
