Founder Diaries · Reed Diffuser & Home Fragrance Gifting
Will one machine handle a penthouse entertaining floor? It depends on how much of that floor is genuinely one body of air. A coverage figure assumes exactly that - lounge running into bar running into dining with nothing closed between them. Bedrooms behind doors are outside it, and an open terrace is not an enclosed volume at all, so leave the terrace out of the question entirely.
Does anything else need buying on day one? No. Every Vaayu ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances, 100 ml each, in one of three published four-scent sets, all at ₹11,999. Those blends are SOSA's own hotel-inspired interpretations, and SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel brand.

Begin with the arithmetic rather than the atmosphere. A candle scents the few feet around itself, which is why one on a dining table is lovely and why nine of them strung across a floor that runs lounge into bar into dining is not a fragrance plan but a lighting round. Each one needs a flame, somebody to light it and somebody to put it out, and on the night that somebody is the host. So the real question is not whether candles are good. It is whether a point source is the right instrument for a volume of this size.
The one-decision answer for a floor built to hold people. SOSA Vaayu, ₹11,999 - waterless cold-air diffusion producing a dry, residue-free mist, published for up to 1000 m3, about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected air, with a 400ml tank, app and button control, 1, 4, 8 or 24-hour run windows, adjustable intensity and operation under 38 dB. Four 100 ml fragrances in the box.
Quick answers — read this first
Does whole-space scenting make more sense than candles in a very large entertaining area? In one connected volume, yes, because a candle is a point source and a large floor is a series of points. SOSA Vaayu at ₹11,999 is published for up to 1000 m3, stated as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected air, runs under 38 dB and is scheduled from a Bluetooth app, so it is one decision rather than nine lit objects.Will one machine handle a penthouse entertaining floor?

The short answer
Short answer: A candle is a point source, and a floor this size is a series of points that each need a flame and an operator. Whole-space scenting is one decision instead of nine. SOSA Vaayu is Rs 11,999, published for up to about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected air, under 38 dB, scheduled by app.
The pick: A SOSA Vaayu at ₹11,999 when the entertaining floor is one connected volume, with reed diffusers from ₹749 for the rooms that sit behind closed doors.
Why: It is one decision rather than nine lit objects, it is published as running under 38 dB, it is scheduled rather than always on, and it comes with four 100 ml fragrances.
In this guide
A gift cannot change how somebody's week went, and a page that suggests otherwise is not worth reading. What a small parcel does is tell a person you were thinking about them on a day when nothing made you - which is a real thing to say, and worth saying. Keep it small, because a large one asks somebody already short of energy to produce a reaction, and send the words separately, because the object cannot carry them.

Straight answer
The entertaining area of this penthouse is larger than a normal flat. Does whole-space scenting make more sense there than candles?
For one connected volume, it does, and the reason is mechanical rather than aesthetic. A candle scents the air immediately around the flame. That is a virtue at a dining table and a problem across a floor built to hold forty people, because the only way to cover the floor with point sources is to put out a lot of points, and every one of them needs lighting at the start of the evening and attention at the end of it. Whole-space scenting is the same job expressed as one decision. SOSA Vaayu at ₹11,999 is waterless cold-air diffusion - a dry, residue-free mist with no water and no heat - published for up to 1000 m3, stated on the page as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft, with a 400ml refillable tank, Bluetooth app control plus onboard buttons, run windows of 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours with day scheduling and adjustable intensity, operation under 38 dB, DC 12V / 1A at 5W, 165 x 80.5 x 215 mm and 0.9 kg, black or white, freestanding or wall and HVAC mounted, CE, RoHS and SGS marked, made in India, and it ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances of 100 ml each. Two honest limits belong in the same paragraph as the number. The figure assumes one connected body of air, so it describes the open floor and not the bedrooms behind doors, and an open terrace is outside it altogether. And fragrance adds a scent to a space - it does not remove, neutralise or purify one, and a residue-free mist is a statement about what is left on surfaces rather than about air quality. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
Nine candles is not a larger candle. It is nine objects somebody has to light, watch and put out on the one evening they are least free to do it.
The default on a floor like this: Vaayu at ₹11,999 for one connected volume of up to about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft - under 38 dB, scheduled by app, four 100 ml fragrances in the box.

Point sources, connected air, and the two things nobody publishes
Three things settle this, and the first one is not a product comparison at all - it is a count of how many objects you are asking somebody to operate on an evening they are hosting.
1
First
Count the operators, not the products
A candle is an object with a job that only runs while somebody is attending to it. On a small table that is barely a job. Across a floor that runs lounge into bar into dining, it becomes one: every position needs a flame at the start of the evening and somebody going back round at the end of it, and nobody publishes how long a SOSA candle burns, so you cannot even plan the evening around a figure.
Candles start at ₹399 and they are genuinely good gifts. They are simply not an instrument for a volume. If you buy several for a floor this size you have not bought whole-space scenting; you have bought several table pieces and a task.
The alternative is not a bigger candle. It is a different mechanism: a machine that emits into the air of the volume itself and is told in advance when to do it. That is the whole of the argument, and it holds only where the volume is genuinely one piece of air - which is the next question.

Tip: A dozen point sources is a dozen small jobs handed to the person hosting.

Second
How much of the floor is actually one body of air?
Vaayu publishes a coverage figure, which almost nothing in home fragrance does: up to 1000 m3, stated on the product page as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft. It has to be read strictly, because a rating of that kind assumes one connected body of air and a penthouse is usually two different things at once.
The entertaining half is normally exactly what the figure describes - an entrance that runs into a lounge that runs into dining with nothing closed between them. The private half is not. Bedrooms and dressing rooms behind doors are separate small volumes, and the honest answer for those is a reed diffuser from ₹749 in each one, or a duo set from ₹1,498 for two of them. That is a cheaper gift and a more accurate one.
Two further subtractions. An open terrace is not an enclosed volume, so whatever its size it does not belong in this calculation at any price. And where the connected volume is larger than the published figure, nothing is published about what a second machine would add, so that is a conversation on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 rather than an arithmetic you or this page should be doing.

Third
Three published facts, and two questions worth asking first
It is quiet and it is scheduled. Operation is published at under 38 dB, and control is by Bluetooth app or the buttons on the unit, with run windows of 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours, chosen days, adjustable intensity, auto-stop and a key-lock. On a floor used properly on perhaps eight evenings a year, being able to run it ahead of an evening and not on the other three hundred is the entire point.
It is complete on arrival. Four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances of 100 ml each come in the box, so there is nothing further to buy on the day it is opened. Afterwards, SOSA waterless nebuliser refills are ₹1,049 for 100 gm and ₹1,849 for 300 gm. It takes alcohol-free, water-free oil made for cold-air diffusion, and the water-based bottles on the site belong to the ultrasonic machines, which are a different fluid for a different device.
Then the two questions. The product page states how long a 400ml fill lasts in two different ways - about 75 days in its specification data and 90 or more in its body copy - and it turns on intensity and scheduled hours in any case, so ask rather than plan around it. And ask about siting, because wall and HVAC mounting is published as an option while nothing about fixings is. There is also no published installation service, no warranty period and no running-cost figure.

Tip: Ask what a fill really lasts and where the thing is meant to sit. Both answers live on WhatsApp.
Read the number strictly, not generously
About 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft - of air that is actually connected
Vaayu publishes a coverage figure, which almost nothing in home fragrance does: up to 1000 m3, stated as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft. The caveat matters more than the number. A rating assumes one connected body of air. A ground floor that runs living into dining into a stairwell is one volume and is exactly what the figure describes. A bungalow of the same total area with six closed doors is not one volume, it is six rooms, and the figure does not transfer. Work out how much of the house is genuinely open before you work out anything else - and note that no guidance is published on what a second unit adds.
See SOSA Vaayu ₹11,999 →
Work it out in this order
How to settle this in ten minutes, most of it standing on the floor in question
- Count the candle positions the floor would need. That count is the real ask.
- Walk it and mark where a door closes. Those rooms are separate volumes.
- Leave the terrace out. Open air is not a volume any figure describes.
- Message WhatsApp with what a fill lasts before planning around any number.
The SOSA principle
A floor built to hold a crowd has had somebody accountable for every surface in it, and nobody accountable for the air standing in the middle of it. That is not an oversight anybody could have caught, because air is not a line on a drawing - which is exactly why it is still open to you.
It also explains why the honest recommendation on a page like this is sometimes the cheaper one: the question is which mechanism fits the volume, and the volume does not care what anything cost.
Which four-scent set, and what a floor built for people asks of a fragrance
There are three published four-scent sets and all three are ₹11,999, so this is a taste decision and not a budget one. They pair Ritz-Carlton with Westin, St. Regis and 1 Hotels inspirations; Westin with Shangri-La, Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton; and St. Regis with W Hotels, 1 Hotels and Four Seasons. Worth saying plainly what they are: SOSA's own hotel-inspired interpretations, composed by SOSA, and SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel brand. The usual objection to the hotel register - that nobody wants to live in a lobby - carries much less weight on a floor that exists to hold people, because that is closer to what the register was written for. Four 100 ml bottles give room to find which of the four suits an evening and which suits a Tuesday, and if none does, the waterless nebuliser oils at ₹1,049 for 100 gm are a small correction rather than an expensive one.
The SOSA gift edit
Four ways to scent an entertaining floor, and where each one gives out
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| SOSA Vaayu · ₹11,999 | Published for up to about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected air, under 38 dB, run windows of 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours with chosen days and adjustable intensity, complete in the box with four 100 ml fragrances. It gives out where the floor is not one volume, and where nobody will ever open the app. |
| SOSA candles · from ₹399 | Lovely objects, correct on a table, and a real gift in their own right. Each one needs a flame and somebody to light it and put it out, no burn figure is published, and a point source scents the area immediately around itself - so a large floor needs many of them and a person minding all of them. |
| A reed diffuser or duo set · ₹749 to ₹2,598 | Passive, nothing to plug in, nothing to switch off, about 6 to 10 weeks per bottle. The right answer for the bedrooms and dressing rooms behind closed doors, and for anybody who will not operate a machine. In one large open volume a passive bottle scents the area around itself and no further. |
| SOSA Meenar · ₹38,500 | Published for 12,000 to 18,000 sq ft - a hotel lobby, a showroom, a corporate floor. On a penthouse entertaining level it is not the ambitious choice, it is the wrong one, and paying more than three times as much for a machine built for a different building is not generosity. |
The two details that matter in a finished house
Under 38 dB, and it runs only when you tell it to
Two published details decide whether this belongs in a house somebody spent years on. It runs under 38 dB, which is the answer to the reasonable worry about a machine humming in a double-height living room. And it is scheduled: Bluetooth app plus onboard buttons, run windows of 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours, chosen days and adjustable intensity, with auto-stop and a key-lock. That is what makes it workable in a house occupied for part of the year, or a room used only when people come over. It is 165 x 80.5 x 215 mm and 0.9 kg, black or white, freestanding or wall and HVAC mounted, and it ships with four 100 ml fragrances - so it is complete on the day it arrives.
See the nebuliser refills from ₹1,049 →
One note on the rest of the range, because a large floor makes people reach upward in the price list. SOSA Meenar at ₹38,500 is the commercial machine, published for 12,000 to 18,000 sq ft, and the catalogue holds nothing between the two. Below Vaayu, the ultrasonic machines - Boond at ₹899, Sukoon at ₹1,899 and Megh at ₹5,999 - are water-based, suit a single room or small area, and want water and regular refilling, which is a weekly ask of somebody who did not choose the machine. SOSA Safar at ₹3,999 goes with a person to a car or a hotel room rather than scenting a property, and it is imported rather than made in India. And attars from ₹379 are worn rather than placed, so they answer a different question entirely.
₹11,999. Up to 1000 m3, stated as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected volume. A 400ml tank, Bluetooth app plus onboard buttons, 1h/4h/8h/24h run windows and adjustable intensity. Under 38 dB.
₹11,999
165 x 80.5 x 215 mm and 0.9 kg, in black or white, freestanding on a surface or wall and HVAC mounted. DC 12V / 1A at 5W, with auto-stop and a key-lock, and CE, RoHS and SGS marks.
0.9 kg · under 38 dB
Every Vaayu ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances, 100 ml each, in one of three published four-scent sets. So it is complete on arrival, which matters more for a gift than it sounds.
four x 100 ml included
One message, one honest recommendation
Tell SOSA who it is for, roughly how big the room is, whether their home is already scented and what you want to spend - and you will be told which size and which scent, including the times the honest answer is the 50ml rather than the 130ml.
Nine candles across a big floor is not whole-space scenting. It is nine small jobs, and you have handed every one of them to the person who was trying to host.
— Sonal Sahani, SOSA
The SOSA gifting range
Two questions settle almost every reed diffuser gift, and the first one is not price. How big is the room it is going into? A 50ml suits a bedroom, a study, a hallway or a first diffuser; a 130ml suits an open-plan living and dining area, and it is genuinely too much for a small closed bedroom. Then: how much do you actually know about their taste? The less you know, the less declarative the scent should be - Morning Freshness is the safest of the five for a home you have never stood in, and Fresh Brew coffee-vanilla is the strongest opinion in the range. Price follows those two answers rather than leading them.

| Product | What it is | What it is for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOSA Vaayu | Waterless cold-air scent machine | Up to 1000 m3, stated as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft of connected volume - a 400ml tank, Bluetooth app and onboard buttons, 1h/4h/8h/24h scheduling, adjustable intensity, under 38 dB | ₹11,999 |
| SOSA Meenar | The commercial-scale machine | Published for 12,000 to 18,000 sq ft - a hotel, showroom or corporate answer rather than a home one, and rarely the right gift | ₹38,500 |

| SOSA attars | Alcohol-free roll-on oil | Worn on the body rather than placed in a room - the right answer when the gift is about the person and not the house | from ₹379 |
A coverage rating assumes one connected body of air. Vaayu's figure describes an open-plan volume - a living-dining floor, a duplex's main level, a double-height hall. A house with every internal door shut is not one volume, and the figure does not transfer to it. Every Vaayu ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances, 100 ml each, and its country of origin is India. Fragrance adds a scent to a space; it does not remove, neutralise or purify one, and the dry residue-free mist is a statement about residue rather than about air quality. SOSA blends described as hotel-inspired are SOSA's own interpretations and SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel brand. Prices above are published retail prices; bulk orders are welcome and quantities are settled on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531. SOSA is an Indian fragrance house based in Pune. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
The honest spec sheet
What the Vaayu page publishes, and what it does not
Everything below is on the live product page. Anything not on this list is not something a page like this should state.
- Coverage - up to 1000 m3, published as about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft. A rating assumes one connected body of air, so it describes an open-plan floor rather than a house of closed rooms.
- The machine - waterless cold-air diffusion, dry and residue-free, no water and no heat. 165 x 80.5 x 215 mm, 0.9 kg, black or white, freestanding or wall and HVAC mounted. DC 12V / 1A, 5W. Under 38 dB. Auto-stop and key-lock. CE, RoHS and SGS. Country of origin India.
- Control - a 400ml refillable tank, Bluetooth app plus onboard buttons, run windows of 1h, 4h, 8h or 24h, day scheduling and adjustable intensity. This is what makes it workable in a house that is empty for stretches, or a room used only at weekends.
- In the box - every Vaayu ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances, 100 ml each, in one of three published four-scent sets, all at ₹11,999. SOSA blends described as hotel-inspired are SOSA's own interpretations and SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel brand.
- The fragrance - alcohol-free, water-free oils formulated for cold-air diffusion. SOSA waterless nebuliser refills are ₹1,049 for 100 gm and ₹1,849 for 300 gm and are published for Vaayu and Safar. The water-based ultrasonic bottles belong to a different kind of machine.
- Not published, and therefore never stated here: how long a 400ml fill lasts as a single figure - the page says about 75 days in one place and 90 or more in another; what a second unit adds; any warranty period, service interval or filter; any installation service; any app name, phone compatibility or Bluetooth range; and any running or electricity cost. Those go to WhatsApp +91 96192 18531.
Not sure whether the house needs a machine or a bottle? Tell SOSA on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 four things: roughly how much of the ground floor is one connected open volume, whether the internal doors stay open or shut, how often the house is actually occupied, and what you want to spend. You will get one straight answer rather than a catalogue - including the times the honest answer is a reed diffuser from ₹749 or a duo set from ₹1,498 rather than a machine. What is not on this page, because SOSA does not publish it: what a second unit adds, any warranty period, any installation service, any running or electricity cost, and any app or Bluetooth compatibility detail. One thing to check before you buy: the Vaayu page states the life of a 400ml fill two different ways - about 75 days in one place and 90 or more in another - and it depends on intensity and scheduled hours in any case, so ask rather than plan around a number. Every Vaayu ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances, 100 ml each; SOSA waterless nebuliser refills are ₹1,049 for 100 gm and ₹1,849 for 300 gm. Bulk orders are welcome and custom label or logo on product is available; quantities and anything commercial are settled on WhatsApp rather than priced on a page. Bespoke composition, a fragrance composed for you by Sonal, is a real SOSA service and is also discussed there. Where SOSA is: an Indian fragrance house based in Pune, sending orders across India, with no shop, stockist, counter or warehouse in any other city.

A note from Sonal
The messages I find hardest to answer are the ones that begin with an apology. They have just finished building the house. I don't want to sound cheap, but I also can't buy them anything that matters at that scale. And underneath it is a real anxiety: that after years of drawings and delays and site visits, whatever you turn up with will look like a token.
What I would say is that the anxiety is aimed at the wrong thing. You are not competing with the house. Nobody is. The people who built it spent two years choosing between four shades of the same stone, and there is no object you can hand over that will register on that scale. Trying is how people end up buying a vase that gets moved to a spare room.
The reason I keep coming back to scent for these particular houses is unromantic. It is the last layer, and it is the only one nobody planned. An architect resolves the volume, a designer resolves the surfaces, a lighting consultant resolves the evening, and then everybody stops - because scent is not on anybody's drawing. So it is one of the few things left that adds to a finished house without arguing with a single decision already made in it.
The part I would be careful about is the number. Vaayu publishes a coverage figure, which almost nothing in home fragrance does, and I would rather you read it strictly than generously. About 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft, of air that is actually connected. A ground floor that opens living into dining into a stairwell is that. A bungalow with six closed doors is not that, whatever its total square footage says on paper, and a page that blurs the two is doing you no favours.
Frequently asked questions
Is a machine really better than candles for a large entertaining area?
For one connected volume it is the more practical instrument, which is not the same as being a better object. A candle scents the air immediately around the flame, so covering a large floor with candles means many positions, each needing a flame and somebody to light it and put it out. SOSA Vaayu is published for up to 1000 cubic metres, about 2,000 to 3,000 square feet of connected air, and is scheduled from an app instead.
How much of a penthouse does the coverage figure actually describe?
Only the part that is one connected body of air. The published figure of up to 1000 cubic metres, stated as approximately 2,000 to 3,000 square feet, describes an entrance running into a lounge running into dining with nothing closed between them. Bedrooms behind doors are separate volumes, and an open terrace is not an enclosed volume at all. No guidance is published on what a second unit would add.
Will it be audible during a party or on a quiet evening?
It is published as operating under 38 dB, and it only runs when it is told to. Control is by Bluetooth app or the buttons on the unit, with run windows of 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours, chosen days, adjustable intensity, auto-stop and a key-lock. On a floor used on a handful of evenings a year, being able to schedule it around those evenings is most of its value as a gift.
How often does the tank need filling?
The tank is 400 ml and refillable, but the product page states its life two different ways - about 75 days in its specification data and 90 or more days in its body copy - and either figure depends on the intensity setting and the scheduled hours. Ask SOSA on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 rather than planning an evening around a single number.
Will it deal with cooking or cigarette traces left after an evening?
No, and that is worth knowing before you buy. Fragrance adds a scent to a space; it does not remove, neutralise, mask or purify anything, and it does not clean the air. What handles that is ventilation and extraction. The dry, residue-free mist Vaayu produces is a statement about residue on surfaces rather than about air quality.
Take the next step
Count the doors on the entertaining floor before you choose
Vaayu at ₹11,999 where lounge, bar and dining are one open volume - up to about 2,000 to 3,000 sq ft, under 38 dB, scheduled rather than always on, complete in the box. Reed diffusers from ₹749 for the bedrooms behind closed doors, and leave the terrace out of it. Tell SOSA how much of the floor is open, and ask what a fill really lasts.
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.

- Brand: Founder story — why SOSA exists
Editorial standards & sources
About this guide: Written by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles-trained founder and perfumer at SOSA Home & Body. Product recommendations reflect the SOSA range; the gift-buying reasoning applies to any brand.Specifications verified from the live SOSA product pages, September 2026: SOSA Vaayu ₹11,999 is a waterless cold-air scent diffuser producing a dry, residue-free mist with no water and no heat. Published coverage is up to 1000 cubic metres, stated on the product page as approximately 2,000 to 3,000 square feet. It has a 400 ml refillable tank; Bluetooth app control together with onboard buttons; run windows of 1, 4, 8 or 24 hours with day scheduling and adjustable intensity; auto-stop and key-lock; operation under 38 dB; a DC 12V / 1A, 5W supply; dimensions of 165 x 80.5 x 215 mm at 0.9 kg; a choice of black or white; freestanding or wall and HVAC mounting; and CE, RoHS and SGS marks. Its country of origin is India. Every Vaayu ships with four SOSA Hotel Collection fragrances of 100 ml each, in one of three published four-scent sets, all at the same price. SOSA Meenar ₹38,500 is published for 12,000 to 18,000 sq ft. The ultrasonic machines Boond ₹899, Sukoon ₹1,899 and Megh ₹5,999 are water-based and suit a single room or small area. SOSA reed diffusers are ₹749 to ₹849 in 50 ml and ₹1,249 to ₹1,349 in 130 ml, lasting approximately 6 to 10 weeks, with three duo combo sets at ₹1,498, ₹1,548 and ₹1,598 in two 50 ml bottles and ₹2,498, ₹2,548 and ₹2,598 in two 130 ml bottles; those three pairings are the entire set range and none is composed to order. SOSA Safar ₹3,999, or ₹4,499 for the hotel-inspired trios, is a waterless cordless portable diffuser of approximately 6.9 cm with a 2000 mAh Type-C battery giving up to 10 hours continuous or 30 hours intermittent per charge, three speeds and a 1, 2 or 3-hour auto shut-off; its country of origin is China. SOSA attars are ₹379 to ₹399 in 3 ml, rising to ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 in 12 ml. SOSA waterless nebuliser refills for Vaayu and Safar are ₹1,049 for 100 gm and ₹1,849 for 300 gm. About the coverage figure: a rating assumes one connected body of air. The published figure describes an open-plan volume such as a living-dining floor, a duplex's main level or a double-height hall, and does not describe a property whose rooms are separated by closed doors, whatever its total floor area. No guidance is published on what a second unit adds. About tank life: the Vaayu product page states the life of one 400 ml fill in two different ways - approximately 75 days in its specification and FAQ data, and 90 or more days in its body copy - and in either case it depends on the intensity setting and the scheduled hours, so no single figure is stated on this page. What is not published, and is therefore not stated here: any warranty period, service interval or filter; any installation service; any app name, phone compatibility or Bluetooth range; any running or electricity cost; and any multi-unit coverage. Limits of this guide: fragrance adds a scent to a space. It does not remove, neutralise, mask or purify odour, it does not clean the air, and no SOSA product makes any health, antibacterial or air-purifying claim; a dry residue-free mist is a statement about residue and not about air quality. No claim is made anywhere on this page about mood, stress, calm, sleep or wellbeing, nor about how any recipient or guest will feel, nor about what a gift does for any business result. No page here characterises any recipient's wealth or describes people who own particular kinds of property; where a property value appears it is the figure the reader themselves supplied as context. SOSA blends described as hotel-inspired are SOSA's own interpretations and SOSA is independent and not affiliated with any hotel brand. 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.
