How Much Does It Cost Per Month to Keep an Appliance Showroom Fragranced?

Two figures, both of them small, both of them arithmetic rather than promises, and then a routine. I will give you the figures and show the working, because the working is what tells you whether they apply to your floor. Electricity first. A SOSA Vaayu runs on DC 12V at 1A, which is 5W. Five watts for ten hours is 50 watt-hours a day; thirty such days is 1,500 watt-hours, which is 1.5 kilowatt-hours, which is what your electricity bill calls 1.5 units. Multiply that by whatever your tariff charges per unit and you have the electricity cost of fragrancing a 1,500-3,000 sq ft connected floor for a month - it will sit below the cost of the tea your advisors drink in a morning. Run it twelve hours and it is 1.8 units; run it around the clock, which you should not, and it is 3.6. Fragrance second, and here the honesty matters. The Vaayu has a 400ml tank and the product page says it runs 90+ days a fill. Divide 400ml by three months and you get roughly 130ml a month. That is arithmetic, not a measurement of your floor, and it depends entirely on two things you have not decided yet: the intensity setting and the hours. Set it a step down for a floor of steel and glass and it lasts longer; run it twelve hours a day with the door propped open and it lasts less. How much fragrance a large experience centre uses every month takes that figure apart properly. The four 100ml bottles in the Vaayu box are the supply - that is your first fill and then some - and refill availability is confirmed with SOSA before you plan beyond it. And that is where the rupee figures stop. I do not publish a per-month running cost in money beyond the electricity, because a refill figure I quoted today would be wrong for your setting tomorrow, and a supplier who hands you a tidy monthly total has averaged a floor that is not yours. Then the routine, which is a cost in attention rather than money: a fill roughly once a quarter, one person who holds the key to the lock, and one look at the timer whenever the demo schedule changes. On a floor with a live kitchen the timer earns that minute, because the demonstration owns the air while it runs, the demo zone stays unscented, and the machine stops before the eleven o'clock hob demo and restarts after without anyone remembering. For comparison, a Mountain Breeze reed at ₹849 has no electricity cost at all; a 50ml bottle lasts 6-8 weeks at a desk and a 130ml at ₹1,349 lasts 14-18 weeks, with a flip once a week. That is the whole monthly cost of fragrance for a studio under about 750 sq ft, and on a large floor it is not a comparison, because a reed reaches one desk zone and not a floor. Past about 3,000 sq ft, one SOSA Angaan at ₹25,999 carries an 800ml reservoir and its own programmable schedule; it uses more fragrance than a Vaayu because it is fragrancing three times the air, and I will not put a number on that either. Now the sentence every page in this cluster carries, because it belongs on a page about cost more than anywhere. Fragrance is an interiors decision, like lighting or music. You budget it the way you budget the lighting: as a cost of the floor feeling the way you decided it should. SOSA makes no claim that it changes footfall, dwell time, conversion or sales, and any supplier who sets the monthly cost against a figure it supposedly returns is selling. SOSA makes no claim about what fragrance does to any appliance or finish on display; the one product fact is that a waterless machine adds no moisture and leaves no residue. It is never a substitute for ventilation, cleaning or extraction, which have their own costs and come first. Whether the machine is worth buying at all is the page before this one. Ask for a showroom scenting plan and we will run the arithmetic on your hours, not typical ones.
