III. Heritage विरासत
The coolest thing in an Indian summer
Every Indian summer has pudina in it. Crushed into chutney, floated in jaljeera and nimbu paani, picked fresh from the plant in the kitchen garden. It is the smell of cooling down: green, sharp and clean.
The leaf in the nimbu paani, for the hottest drives of the year.
“Mint is easy to get wrong: too much menthol and it smells like mouthwash by day three. I balanced cornmint and peppermint with a little eucalyptus and lemon, so in a hot car it reads as crushed leaves, not toothpaste.”Sonal Sahani · Perfumer's note

VI. Questions
Is it real mint?
Yes. It is built on 100% pure cornmint and peppermint oils, rounded with eucalyptus, lemon and spearmint.
Will it smell like mouthwash?
No. It is balanced on the green, herbal side of mint with a little eucalyptus and lemon, so it reads as fresh leaves, not toothpaste.
How long does it last?
4 to 6 weeks, depending on heat and how often you drive. Turn the bottle upside down once a week to keep the lid fresh.
Spray or hanging?
The hanging diffuser is soft and always on. The spray is fuller and you decide when. Many people use both, which is why we make The Complete Ritual.
Can I refill it?
Yes. The bottle is refillable glass, and 15ml refills are available. One refill fills it completely.
Does it work in monsoon and summer heat?
Yes. In May 2026, in Pune, we ran it through a 72-hour test in sealed parked cars, with heat up to 45°C and humidity up to 85% RH. Our internal panel rated scent stability and intensity, and the character held steady across the test. This was our own product testing, not a clinical study.
Will it give me a headache? I'm sensitive to fragrance.
It's composed to stay soft in a closed car: you notice it without it filling the cabin. It's IFRA-compliant and made to be gentle. If you're pregnant, have asthma or a known fragrance sensitivity, check with your doctor before using any fragrance in a closed car and keep the car ventilated.
How long does shipping take?
Orders ship the next working day and arrive in 3 to 5 days, depending on where you are.
Do you offer returns or replacements?
If it arrives damaged or faulty, we'll replace it. Email service@sosahomeandbody.com within 48 hours of delivery with a photo.
