SOSA Founder Diaries · Vaayu
Which SOSA Vaayu fragrance should I consider for an east-facing showroom if I prefer fresh citrus and green aromatic scents?
Your preference does the choosing here, and the direction does not, because nothing SOSA publishes ties a refill to the east. Four accord lines sit squarely on fresh citrus and green aromatics. The showroom decides between them, because a showroom has a door that keeps opening and customers who stay for a visit, not a day.
Answer in brief
- Which refills are citrus? Malabar Lemon publishes Lemon Peel, Citrus Leaf and Light Musk. Quiet Luxury prints bergamot, and Lobby Bar and Warm Welcome print citrus beside pepper and amber or florals and sandalwood.
- Which are green and aromatic? Sage & Cedar publishes Sage, Cedar and Cool Mineral, and Forest Suite publishes Cedarwood, Vetiver and Green Leaves. Neither is matched by SOSA to any direction.
- Does the east need one of them? Nothing published says so. Neither the SOSA Vaayu page nor the refill page mentions Vastu, a direction, energy or prosperity, so nothing published ties any of the sixteen refills to any direction. Some Vastu traditions associate particular materials with particular directions. That is a cultural tradition rather than a rule, and your own Vastu consultant is the authority on the tradition you follow.
The short answer
For fresh citrus and green aromatic scents, four of the sixteen refills carry your words in their published accords: Malabar Lemon (Lemon Peel, Citrus Leaf, Light Musk), Sage & Cedar (Sage, Cedar, Cool Mineral), Forest Suite (Cedarwood, Vetiver, Green Leaves) and Quiet Luxury (White Tea, Bergamot, Cedar). Nothing SOSA publishes ties any of them to the east; your own Vastu consultant is the authority on your tradition. Trial two at 100ml, Rs 1,049 or Rs 1,099, in the showroom itself.
The cheapest honest trial: Malabar Lemon and Sage & Cedar at 100ml, ₹1,049 each, ₹2,098 for the pair - one citrus line and one green-aromatic line, both SOSA naturals.

Which SOSA Vaayu fragrance should I consider for an east-facing showroom if I prefer fresh citrus and green aromatic scents?
You have done the useful part already, which is to say what you like. Let me take the direction off the table first, because it should not be doing any of the choosing. Neither the SOSA Vaayu page nor the refill page mentions Vastu, a direction, energy or prosperity, so nothing published ties any of the sixteen refills to any direction. Some Vastu traditions associate particular materials with particular directions. That is a cultural tradition rather than a rule, and your own Vastu consultant is the authority on the tradition you follow. Now your preference, which the accord lines can answer directly. On citrus, Malabar Lemon publishes Lemon Peel, Citrus Leaf and Light Musk, and its published description reads "Cold-pressed lemon peel with a leafy lift - the clean, awake smell of a freshly opened house in the morning." It is ₹1,049 for 100ml and ₹1,849 for 300ml. On green aromatics, Sage & Cedar publishes Sage, Cedar and Cool Mineral, described as "Crisp herbal sage over dry cedar with a mineral coolness - spa-clean, unisex and easy to run all day." It is ₹1,049 for 100ml and ₹1,849 for 300ml. Two hotel-inspired compositions sit between the two. Forest Suite publishes Cedarwood, Vetiver and Green Leaves, described as "Barefoot, biophilic luxury - green leaves, earthy vetiver and warm cedarwood. A forest-view room with the windows open." Quiet Luxury publishes White Tea, Bergamot and Cedar, described as "Soft white tea and bright bergamot over clean cedar - the hushed, polished calm of a grand hotel lobby." Both are ₹1,099 for 100ml and ₹1,899 for 300ml. Two more print citrus but pair it with something warmer, and I mention them so you can rule them in or out on the published words: Lobby Bar publishes Citrus, Pepper and Amber, and Warm Welcome publishes Citrus, Floral and Sandalwood. Now the showroom, because it decides between the four more than the label does. A showroom's door opens all day, so the scent near the entrance is constantly meeting outside air, and your customers meet it for the length of a visit while your staff meet it for the whole day. That makes the trial a question about what people notice and like, not about what reads strongest on a blotter. The refill page's own instruction is to start low and work up, because short scheduled bursts scent better and last far longer than running flat out. Vaayu gives you a Bluetooth app and onboard buttons, 1h, 4h, 8h and 24h timer scheduling, adjustable intensity, key-lock and auto-stop. Vaayu's published coverage is up to 1000 cubic metres, about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft, which the page calls one whole floor. There is no sample, tester or trial size. The 100ml is the smallest refill and it is the trial: ₹1,049 for one of the nine SOSA naturals and ₹1,099 for one of the seven hotel-inspired compositions. Malabar Lemon and Sage & Cedar together come to ₹2,098; add Forest Suite and the three come to ₹3,197. Between one test oil and the next, follow the switching step the refill page publishes: it starts by running the machine empty for a minute to clear the line, and it ends with the bottle dry before the new scent goes in. No scent can be promised to bring customers, sales, luck or prosperity, and I will not claim that one does. Every refill is composed in India by Sonal Sahani, who founded SOSA and trained as a perfumer at ISIPCA, Versailles. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
Citrus, green, and the showroom door
Two cards are about the accords you asked for. The third is about the room, which is where the choice is actually made.
Citrus - one natural, three hotel-inspired lines
Malabar Lemon publishes Lemon Peel, Citrus Leaf and Light Musk, the one refill that prints lemon by name. Quiet Luxury prints bergamot, Lobby Bar prints citrus beside pepper and amber, and Warm Welcome prints citrus beside a floral and sandalwood. Malabar Lemon is ₹1,049 for 100ml.
Malabar Lemon: Lemon Peel, Citrus Leaf, Light Musk.
Green aromatic - sage, cedar and green leaves
Sage & Cedar publishes Sage, Cedar and Cool Mineral. Forest Suite publishes Cedarwood, Vetiver and Green Leaves. The first is a SOSA natural at ₹1,049 for 100ml, the second a hotel-inspired composition at ₹1,099. Neither the SOSA Vaayu page nor the refill page mentions Vastu, a direction, energy or prosperity, so nothing published ties any of the sixteen refills to any direction.
The showroom - a door that keeps opening
Outside air comes in with every customer, and customers stay for a visit while staff stay all day. Test where people actually stand and sit, at a low setting, and ask both groups. The refill page's own instruction is to start low and work up, because short scheduled bursts scent better and last far longer than running flat out.
Test in the showroom, with customers in it, not on a blotter.
You already know you like citrus and green aromatics. The trial is not to find out what you like; it is to find out which of four published lines your customers notice and like.
Nothing published ties a refill to the east
The four lines, quoted from the refill page
Malabar Lemon publishes Lemon Peel, Citrus Leaf and Light Musk: "Cold-pressed lemon peel with a leafy lift - the clean, awake smell of a freshly opened house in the morning." Sage & Cedar publishes Sage, Cedar and Cool Mineral: "Crisp herbal sage over dry cedar with a mineral coolness - spa-clean, unisex and easy to run all day." Forest Suite publishes Cedarwood, Vetiver and Green Leaves: "Barefoot, biophilic luxury - green leaves, earthy vetiver and warm cedarwood. A forest-view room with the windows open." Quiet Luxury publishes White Tea, Bergamot and Cedar: "Soft white tea and bright bergamot over clean cedar - the hushed, polished calm of a grand hotel lobby." The two naturals are ₹1,049 for 100ml and ₹1,849 for 300ml; the two hotel-inspired lines are ₹1,099 and ₹1,899.
Malabar Lemon and Sage & Cedar are ₹1,049 each for 100ml, the cheapest two-scent trial on this page.

| What you are deciding | What is actually published |
|---|---|
| Fresh citrus | Malabar Lemon publishes Lemon Peel, Citrus Leaf and Light Musk, ₹1,049 for 100ml. Quiet Luxury prints bergamot. |
| Green aromatic | Sage & Cedar publishes Sage, Cedar and Cool Mineral; Forest Suite publishes Cedarwood, Vetiver and Green Leaves. |
| An east-facing showroom | Not published. Neither page mentions Vastu or a direction; your own Vastu consultant is the authority on your tradition. |
| Buying the machine with them | One hotel-inspired box set holds Quiet Luxury, White Tea Serenity, Old-World Glamour and Forest Suite. Vaayu with a hotel-inspired set is ₹12,999. |
If you are buying the machine as well, the box is worth reading. One of the three hotel-inspired sets holds Quiet Luxury, White Tea Serenity, Old-World Glamour and Forest Suite, so two of the four lines on this page would arrive in it, alongside a tea-and-aloe line and a warmer amber-and-violet line you could rule in or out. SOSA Vaayu is ₹12,499 with the SOSA Originals set of four 100ml oils and ₹12,999 with one of three hotel-inspired sets. Once a scent has earned its place, the 300ml is the cheaper millilitre. The 300ml is ₹1,849 for a natural and ₹1,899 for a hotel-inspired composition, which works out at about ₹6.2 to 6.3 per ml against about ₹10.5 to 11 per ml for the 100ml. The only consumption guidance SOSA publishes is this: on a moderate setting with a timer, a 100ml bottle typically runs for weeks and a 300ml for months. Only SOSA waterless nebuliser oil goes in it; water-based fragrance, reed-diffuser oil and thick essential oils will clog the nozzle.
Four of the sixteen accord lines say citrus or green in their own words. Your showroom, with its door opening all day, is what decides between them.
Four steps for a showroom trial
- Leave the direction to your own Vastu consultant and choose the scent on its accords.
- Shortlist Malabar Lemon and Sage & Cedar; add Forest Suite if you want a third.
- Run each low on a timer for several days, with customers in the showroom.
- Ask customers and staff, then move the one they keep to the 300ml.

The published figures on this page are the prices, the coverage, the tank size, the timer steps, the noise and power figures and the refill sizes. SOSA publishes no consumption rate in ml per day, so no exact refill interval or running cost exists here; the published guidance is that a 100ml runs for weeks and a 300ml for months on a moderate setting with a timer. Nothing published ties a scent to a direction, a business or an effect on sales.

See the refillsQuestions people ask
Which SOSA refill is the most citrus?
Malabar Lemon, which publishes Lemon Peel, Citrus Leaf and Light Musk and is described as cold-pressed lemon peel with a leafy lift. It is Rs 1,049 for 100ml and Rs 1,849 for 300ml.
Which SOSA refill is green and aromatic?
Sage and Cedar publishes Sage, Cedar and Cool Mineral. Forest Suite publishes Cedarwood, Vetiver and Green Leaves. Both are on the refill page with their own descriptions, and SOSA does not match either to a direction.
Does an east-facing showroom need a particular scent?
SOSA publishes nothing on that. Neither the Vaayu page nor the refill page mentions Vastu or a direction. Some Vastu traditions associate particular materials with particular directions, as a cultural tradition rather than a rule, and your own Vastu consultant is the authority on yours.
Who composes the SOSA Vaayu refill oils?
Sonal Sahani, who founded SOSA and trained as a perfumer at ISIPCA, Versailles. The waterless nebuliser oils are composed in India, and the refill page publishes a three-word accord line and a short description for each of the sixteen scents. Those published words are what this page quotes, and nothing beyond them.
What does a two-scent trial cost?
Malabar Lemon and Sage and Cedar at 100ml are Rs 1,049 each, Rs 2,098 for the pair. Adding Forest Suite at Rs 1,099 brings three to Rs 3,197. There is no sample size; the 100ml is the smallest refill.
