It is the right question, and it has an honest answer that is not a single magic number. The count depends on how big each showroom is and how many open zones it has - here is how to work it out.
Quick answers — read this first
How many scent machines do I need for 10 showrooms? It depends on the size and zones of each showroom, not simply on the number ten. One SOSA Vaayu covers up to 1000m3 (about 2000 to 3000 sq ft), so a compact showroom is usually one machine and a larger showroom needs one per open zone. Ten mid-size showrooms often work out to roughly ten to fifteen Vaayu units once zones are counted - the exact number is confirmed against your floor plans on a quotation. Larger floors use an Angaan or Meenar.
Is one machine enough for a whole showroom? For a showroom up to about 2000 to 3000 sq ft in one open zone, one Vaayu is usually enough. A larger showroom, or one split across separate rooms or floors, needs one machine per zone so the scent is even everywhere.
How do I get the exact machine count for 10 showrooms? Share the size and layout of each showroom. SOSA counts the zones against the up-to-1000m3 coverage of the Vaayu and gives you the exact machine count, placement and central fragrance supply on a quotation.
The short answer
Short answer: the count depends on each showroom's size and zones, not on the number ten - roughly one Vaayu (up to 1000m3, about 2000 to 3000 sq ft) per zone, so ten mid-size showrooms are often around ten to fifteen units, confirmed on a quotation.
The numbers we can state: SOSA Vaayu ₹11,999 one-time (ships with 400ml oil, about one full tank); covers up to 1000m3 (about 2000-3000 sq ft); a 400ml tank lasts up to ~75 days depending on intensity and hours. Larger floors: Angaan ₹25,999, Meenar ₹38,500.
On a quotation: exact monthly running cost, refill sizes/prices, bulk machine pricing and multi-location fragrance supply - real numbers for your space, hours and scale.
Commercial scenting has a simple cost shape: a one-time machine, then fragrance oil as the main recurring cost, plus minimal electricity. The SOSA Vaayu is ₹11,999 and ships with 400ml of oil (about one full tank); a 400ml fill lasts up to about 75 days depending on the intensity setting and how many hours a day it runs, so refills are occasional rather than constant. Exact monthly fragrance cost, bulk machine pricing and multi-location supply depend on your settings and scale, and are confirmed on a quotation.
How many scent machines do I actually need for 10 showrooms?
Honestly, it depends on the showrooms, not on the number ten. One SOSA Vaayu covers up to 1000m3 (about 2000 to 3000 sq ft), so a compact showroom is usually one machine and a larger showroom needs one per open zone. If your ten showrooms are mid-size and mostly single-zone, that is often roughly ten to fifteen Vaayu units once you count zones - but that is illustrative, and the real count comes from your floor plans. A very large showroom floor beyond about 3000 sq ft would use an Angaan (₹25,999) or Meenar (₹38,500) instead of several Vaayu units. Each Vaayu is ₹11,999 one-time and ships with 400ml of oil. Share your showroom sizes and layouts and the exact count, placement and fragrance supply are confirmed on a quotation; you can also buy one Vaayu to size a single showroom first.
It depends on each showroom's size and zones - roughly one Vaayu per zone (up to 1000m3), so ten mid-size showrooms are often around ten to fifteen units, confirmed on a quotation.
The honest headline: the SOSA Vaayu is ₹11,999 as a one-time machine, and it ships with 400ml of oil (about one full tank), so your first fill is included. After that the main recurring cost is fragrance oil - a 400ml tank lasts up to about 75 days depending on intensity and hours - plus minimal electricity. For exact monthly figures, bulk pricing or a multi-location plan, a quotation gives you real numbers.
Three things decide the number, and none of them is simply the count of showrooms.
1
Showroom size
Coverage per machine
One Vaayu covers up to 1000m3 (about 2000 to 3000 sq ft). A showroom within that in one open zone is usually one machine; a showroom well above it needs more, or steps up to a larger machine. Size is the first thing to measure.
Tip: measure each showroom against the up-to-1000m3 (about 2000 to 3000 sq ft) coverage first.
2
Number of zones
Open plan versus separate rooms
Coverage assumes open air movement. A showroom split into separate rooms, a mezzanine or a closed office needs one Vaayu per zone, because scent does not travel well through walls and doors. Count zones, not square feet alone.
3
Consistency across the ten
Same machine, same scent
For ten showrooms to feel like one brand, standardise on the same Vaayu per zone and one signature scent. That also keeps the refill supply and spares identical, which matters far more at ten sites than at one.
Tip: standardising the machine and scent across all ten keeps the brand and the logistics simple.
The SOSA principle
The honest reason there is no single number is that a showroom is defined by its zones, not its address. Two businesses with ten showrooms each can need very different machine counts if one runs open floors and the other runs partitioned spaces.
Count zones against the coverage figure and the number appears on its own.
Worth knowing: SOSA Hotel Collection Fragrance Oil - Alcohol-free cold-air fragrance oil for the Vaayu - the signature scent, from ₹299, from ₹299.
Here is how to reason from a showroom to a machine count, and what recurs once the machines are in.
The SOSA scent edit
Working out machines for 10 showrooms
Scent
Why it suits the mood
Compact single-zone showroom
Usually one Vaayu (up to 1000m3, about 2000 to 3000 sq ft), Rs 11,999 one-time, shipping with 400ml of oil.
Larger or multi-room showroom
One Vaayu per open zone - a partitioned showroom needs more than one because scent does not cross walls well.
Very large showroom floor
Beyond about 3000 sq ft, an Angaan (Rs 25,999) or Meenar (Rs 38,500) replaces several Vaayu units on that floor.
Once the machines are set, the recurring cost is the fragrance oil - each Vaayu uses roughly a 400ml tank every 2 to 2.5 months at typical showroom hours (from the verified up-to-75-day figure), supplied centrally. For the exact count across your ten showrooms and the fragrance supply that goes with it, an Angaan or Meenar where a floor is very large, and a full plan, are all set on a quotation - no compulsory subscription, just the oil you use.
Also relevant: SOSA Angaan HVAC Diffuser - HVAC nebulising diffuser for a very large space (~8,000-10,000 sq ft), from ₹25,999.
SOSA Vaayu ₹11,999 one-time (ships with 400ml oil); a 400ml tank lasts up to ~75 days. Get exact running cost, bulk pricing and multi-location supply on one quotation.
A showroom is a set of zones, not an address. Count the zones against the coverage, standardise the machine and the scent, and the honest number for ten showrooms takes care of itself.

The machine: SOSA Vaayu Waterless Cold-Air Diffuser - One-time ₹11,999, ships with 400ml of SOSA oil; covers up to 1000m3 (about 2000-3000 sq ft); 400ml tank lasts up to ~75 days, from ₹11,999.
Whichever way you buy, the shape is the same: a one-time machine, then mostly fragrance oil, plus minimal electricity. The Vaayu is made in India, ships with 400ml of oil, and covers up to 1000m3 (about 2000-3000 sq ft); very large or multi-floor spaces use the Angaan or Meenar. Exact running cost and any bulk or multi-location plan are confirmed on a quotation. Here is the full structure.

How to read this: the biggest number is a one-time machine (₹11,999), and it ships with 400ml of oil, so your first tank is included. After that the main recurring cost is fragrance oil, and because a 400ml fill lasts up to about 75 days (depending on the intensity setting and daily hours), refills are occasional. We do not publish a fixed monthly rupee figure because it genuinely depends on your intensity, hours, space and the refill size you choose - so the exact running cost, bulk machine pricing, refill cadence and any multi-location supply are confirmed on a quotation. There is no compulsory subscription or lock-in beyond buying the fragrance you use.

A note from Sonal
When a business asks me what commercial scenting really costs, I give them the honest shape of it rather than a headline number. There is a one-time machine - the Vaayu is ₹11,999 and it ships with 400ml of our oil, so the first tank is included. After that, the main recurring cost is simply the fragrance oil you use, and electricity is minimal.
The reason I will not quote a fixed monthly figure blindly is that it honestly depends on how you run it. A 400ml tank lasts up to about 75 days depending on the intensity you choose and how many hours a day it runs - a store on daytime hours at a moderate setting sips through it slowly, a high-intensity all-day setting uses more. That is exactly why we put it on a quotation: we look at your space, your hours and your locations, and the numbers are real rather than a guess.
For bulk orders and multi-location groups, we plan the machine quantity, placement and monthly fragrance supply together, so procurement can budget it properly with no surprises. Everything is made in India, and I would always rather you trial the fragrance first and buy what fits than sign up to something you have not smelled.
Frequently asked questions
How many scent machines for 10 showrooms?
It depends on each showroom's size and zones. One Vaayu covers up to 1000m3 (about 2000 to 3000 sq ft), so compact showrooms are one machine and larger ones are one per zone. Ten mid-size showrooms are often around ten to fifteen units once counted - confirmed exactly on a quotation.
Is one Vaayu enough for a whole showroom?
For a showroom up to about 2000 to 3000 sq ft in one open zone, usually yes. A larger or partitioned showroom needs one Vaayu per zone because scent does not travel well through walls, doors or between floors.
When should a showroom use an Angaan or Meenar instead?
When a single showroom floor is well beyond about 3000 sq ft. The Angaan (Rs 25,999, ~8,000 to 10,000 sq ft) or Meenar (Rs 38,500, ~12,000 to 18,000 sq ft) covers a very large floor with one machine instead of stacking several Vaayu units.
How much fragrance will the showroom machines use?
Each Vaayu uses roughly a 400ml tank every 2 to 2.5 months at typical showroom hours, derived from the verified figure that a 400ml fill lasts up to about 75 days depending on intensity and hours. The central supply for all ten is planned on a quotation.
How do I get the exact machine count for my 10 showrooms?
Share the size and layout of each showroom. SOSA counts zones against the Vaayu coverage and gives you the exact machine count, placement and fragrance supply on a quotation, rather than a generic number.
Clear commercial scenting costs - one-time machine, honest running cost, everything on one quotation

About this guide: Written by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles-trained founder and perfumer at SOSA Home & Body. Figures below reflect the SOSA Vaayu and range; commercial scenting cost structure applies to any brand.
Facts verified August 2026 (SOSA Vaayu product page): The Vaayu is a waterless cold-air diffuser priced at ₹11,999 (one-time), and each machine ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrance oils of 100ml each (400ml total, about one full tank). It atomises alcohol-free, water-free fragrance oil into a dry nano-mist covering up to 1000m3 (about 2000 to 3000 sq ft), has a 400ml refillable tank that lasts up to about 75 days depending on the intensity setting and daily run hours, offers 1h/4h/8h/24h timers and Bluetooth app control, and runs under 38dB. The main recurring cost is fragrance oil; electricity is minimal on a low-power cold-air atomiser. SOSA does NOT publish a fixed monthly running-cost figure because it depends on intensity, hours, space and refill size chosen - the exact monthly cost, refill cadence, refill sizes and prices, bulk machine pricing, lead times and any multi-location fragrance-supply plan are confirmed on a quotation, and there is no compulsory subscription or lock-in. Larger spaces use the Angaan (₹25,999, ~8,000-10,000 sq ft) or Meenar (₹38,500, ~12,000-18,000 sq ft). A signature scent enhances a premium space and works alongside good service; SOSA makes no claim that scent alone increases sales, conversions or footfall. Hotel-inspired scents are SOSA's own original interpretations; SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel. Prices and availability are subject to change - see the live product pages.
