★ SOSA for Hyderabad Businesses
By measuring rather than estimating - watch one branch from a full tank to an empty one, convert it into millilitres per run hour at a known intensity, and then build every other branch from its own opening hours and its own setting, because a spec-sheet figure is a laboratory number at a setting nobody tells you

Facts verified 9 September 2026 against the live SOSA product pages: the SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) is a waterless cold-air nebuliser rated to 1000m³, described by the manufacturer as approximately 2,000-3,000 sq ft, with a 400ml refillable tank lasting roughly 75-90 days depending on intensity and run hours, Bluetooth app and onboard button control, 1h/4h/8h/24h timers, adjustable intensity, operation under 38dB, DC 12V/1A at 5W, freestanding or wall and HVAC mounting, auto-stop and key-lock, and CE, RoHS and SGS certification - electrical and compliance marks only. Being waterless it adds no moisture and leaves no residue on paper, screens or documents; refill supply should be confirmed with SOSA. The SOSA Angaan (₹25,999) is an HVAC nebulising diffuser rated to 3,000m³, roughly 8,000-10,000 sq ft, with an 800ml reservoir, metal body, programmable schedules and operation under 42dB. The SOSA Sukoon (₹1,899) is a 500ml water-based ultrasonic diffuser for a single room of roughly 270-320 sq ft, and the SOSA Boond (₹899) is its compact equivalent; both use the water-based Hotel Collection fragrance (15ml from ₹299, 100ml ₹999, 300ml ₹1,799), which is made for ultrasonic diffusers and is not reed diffuser oil. SOSA reed diffusers - Morning Freshness (₹749 / ₹1,249) and Mountain Breeze (₹849 / ₹1,349), or the two together as the Fresh & Grounded duo (₹1,548 / ₹2,548) - are alcohol-free and phthalate-free, with a 50ml bottle lasting 6-8 weeks and a 130ml bottle 14-18 weeks. Ambient fragrance in a commercial space is an interior and hospitality decision only. SOSA makes no claim that it treats, relieves, prevents or improves any medical, dental or psychological condition, that it makes anyone feel calmer, more comfortable or more confident, that it affects recovery, patient comfort or any clinical outcome, or that it affects footfall, walk-ins, enquiries, bookings, conversions, sales, average spend, dwell time, customer retention or revenue. It does not remove or reduce any odour in the air, and it is never a substitute for ventilation, cleaning, housekeeping or fresh-air exchange - an office with a persistent smell has a source to find and fix first. Closed treatment rooms, consultation cabins and any closed one-to-one room are never scented, because the person inside cannot leave and did not choose to be there. A named seat away from the source is kept genuinely fragrance-free in the reception or waiting area and offered rather than waiting to be requested. The visitor's preference overrides any plan on this page, and where a customer, patient or member of staff is sensitive to fragrance the correct response is to reduce or switch off.

How do I calculate consumption across ten branches? Measure one branch through one complete refill cycle, convert it into millilitres per run hour at a known intensity, then scale each branch by its own hours and setting.Why not use the manufacturer's figure? Because a stated tank life is a laboratory figure at an intensity and a run time that rarely match yours. Your own estate has a real number you can measure once.
What drives consumption? Run hours and intensity, with room volume entering only because a larger room needed a higher setting. Visitor numbers barely enter at all.
The short answer
Short answer: measure one branch from a full tank to an empty one, turn it into millilitres per run hour at a known setting, then scale each branch by its own opening hours and its own intensity.
The pick: a SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) with a 400ml tank makes the measurement easy, and a SOSA Mountain Breeze Reed Diffuser (₹849) turns the whole calculation into a replacement date.
Next step: write today's date on the tank you fill next, and note the setting and the hours. Or ask for a scenting plan for your space.

Straight answer
How do I calculate monthly fragrance consumption across ten Hyderabad locations?
By measuring one branch properly once, and then doing arithmetic - not by multiplying a figure off a box by ten. Start with why the spec-sheet route fails, because it is the route almost everybody takes first. A stated tank life is produced under one particular set of conditions at one particular intensity, and it is usually quoted as a range precisely because the intensity and the run hours are the two things the manufacturer cannot know. Your estate does not run at those conditions. It runs at whatever number each branch reached from its own furthest seat, for whatever hours that branch is open, in Hyderabad, with the AC load that comes with it. That produces a real figure, and you only have to watch one tank empty to get it. The measurement is deliberately dull. Fill a tank at one branch and write the date on the card on the unit. Write the intensity setting next to it, and the number of hours a day the timer is actually running - which is the timer block, not the opening hours, and those two are different more often than not. Then wait, and write the date it runs dry. One complete cycle, undisturbed, with nobody changing the setting in the middle of it, which is the only part that requires discipline. Now the arithmetic, in two steps. Millilitres per day is the tank volume divided by the number of days it lasted. Millilitres per run hour is that figure divided by the daily run hours. Worked through: a 400ml tank at setting three running twelve hours a day empties in eighty days, which is 5ml a day, which is about 0.42ml per run hour at setting three. That single number is the constant your whole estate is built from. A branch open fourteen hours at the same setting is 5.8ml a day, so roughly 175ml a month. A branch on eight hours is 3.3ml a day, so about 100ml. Add the ten figures rather than multiplying the average by ten, because the average branch does not exist and the sum is what you are actually ordering. Two honest cautions. Intensity is roughly proportional across the middle of the range but do not assume it stays linear at the top - if any branch runs at the highest setting, measure that one separately rather than extrapolating. And re-measure when anything structural changes: a different fragrance, a change of opening hours, or the swing from December to May when the AC runs harder and the same output is carried away faster. Once a quarter is plenty. The trial branch is where this measurement is cheapest to take, because it is the one branch you were already watching closely. Then express the ordering in days of cover rather than in bottles - which is also the rule that decides how much each branch receives. Fragrance is an ambience decision like lighting or seating: it does not remove or reduce anything in the air, it treats nothing and relieves nothing, and SOSA makes no claim that it does. A SOSA Vaayu at ₹11,999 with a 400ml tank makes the measurement straightforward, and a SOSA Mountain Breeze Reed Diffuser at ₹849 reduces the whole calculation to a replacement date. Closed treatment rooms and consultation cabins are never scented at any branch, so they enter no line of this calculation. A named seat away from the source is kept genuinely fragrance-free and offered at the desk rather than waiting to be requested. It works alongside ventilation, cleaning and housekeeping, never instead of them, and the visitor's preference overrides any plan. Made in India, and a portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
Measure one branch through one full tank at a known setting and known run hours, convert to millilitres per run hour, then scale each branch by its own hours and intensity and add the ten figures together.
Easy to measure: SOSA Vaayu at ₹11,999, 400ml tank - or SOSA Mountain Breeze at ₹849, which is just a date.

A connected reception, waiting area and corridor of ~1,500-3,000 sq ft
SOSA Vaayu
Waterless cold-air nebuliser rated to 1000m³ - about 2,000-3,000 sq ft - on one unit. In a clinic, salon or showroom its value is control rather than reach: the key-lock holds the level the furthest waiting chair was judged to, so it survives every shift and every new receptionist, and the 1h/4h/8h/24h timer keeps it on opening hours rather than saturating an empty room overnight. Waterless, so it adds no moisture and leaves no residue on stock, mirrors, screens or displays. 400ml tank, roughly 75-90 days depending on intensity and run hours, under 38dB, wall or HVAC mount.
From ₹11,999
The register - or the whole answer where reception is one seating zone
SOSA Mountain Breeze Reed Diffuser
Himalayan pine, sage and Indian cedar - the driest register SOSA makes and the house default, because it reads as a considered room rather than as a hotel lobby. Where reception is a single seating group, this bottle at the staff end of the desk at ₹849 for 50ml carries the register on its own, three or four reeds in, flipped weekly; 130ml at ₹1,349 lasts 14-18 weeks. Alcohol-free, phthalate-free, six fibre reeds, and carried out of the room in seconds if a client asks.
From ₹849
One measurement, then arithmetic
The only hard part is leaving one tank alone for a full cycle while somebody writes two dates down.
1
Not the box
A spec figure is a lab figure
Stated tank life is quoted as a range because intensity and run hours are the two things the maker cannot know, and they are exactly what your estate varies.
Rule: your own number is one cycle away.
2
Record
Three things on the card
The fill date, the intensity setting, and the hours a day the timer actually runs - which is the timer block rather than the opening hours, and they often differ.
Test: then the date it runs dry.
3
Convert
Millilitres per run hour
Tank volume divided by days gives ml a day; divided again by daily run hours gives the constant. A 400ml tank over 80 days at 12 hours is about 0.42ml per run hour.
Rule: one number, the whole estate built from it.
4
Scale
Each branch by its own hours
Fourteen hours at that setting is about 5.8ml a day and roughly 175ml a month; eight hours is about 3.3ml a day and roughly 100ml.
Rule: add the ten, never multiply the average.
5
Re-measure
When something structural changes
A different fragrance, different opening hours, or the swing from December to May when the AC runs harder. Measure the top setting separately rather than extrapolating to it.
Test: once a quarter is plenty.
The SOSA principle
The timer block and the opening hours are different numbers in most branches, and consumption follows the timer. Building the estate figure on opening hours quietly overstates every branch that shuts its unit before the shutters come down.
Which is why the fill card records the hours the machine runs rather than the hours the business does - one line, and it is the line the whole calculation rests on.
Estate consumption, question by question
What to measure, how to convert it, and when the figure stops being true.
The SOSA Hyderabad table
Working out what ten branches use
| The question | The answer |
|---|---|
|
Where does the figure come from?
|
One branch watched from a full tank to an empty one at a known setting and known run hours. That single cycle produces the estate's constant. |
|
Why not use the stated tank life?
|
Because it is a laboratory figure at an intensity and run time the maker cannot know, and both of those are what your branches vary. |
|
What is the arithmetic?
|
Tank volume divided by days gives ml a day. Divided again by daily run hours gives ml per run hour, which scales to any branch. |
|
Do I multiply by ten?
|
No. Add the ten branch figures, because each has its own hours and setting and the average branch does not exist anywhere in the estate. |
|
Which product makes this easiest?
|
A Vaayu (₹11,999) with a 400ml tank and a timer, or a Mountain Breeze reed (₹849), where consumption is simply a replacement date. |
The allocation version is same refill quantity for every branch?, the trial version is trialling one branch before rollout, and the single-site arithmetic is the sums before passive against active. SOSA makes no claim that fragrance removes or reduces anything in the air.
One register, the visitor-facing zone only, set from the furthest seat
SOSA Vaayu ₹11,999 waterless, key-locked and timed to opening hours; Mountain Breeze ₹849 or Morning Freshness ₹749 as the register. Send the floor plan with the closed rooms and the entrance marked and we will return it with the placement and the fragrance-free seat.
You only have to watch one tank empty. After that the estate is arithmetic - and the discipline the whole thing depends on is nobody touching the setting in the middle of the cycle.

A SOSA Sukoon (₹1,899) is the water-based rung for a single enclosed reception or client lounge of roughly 270-320 sq ft in a dry room, and a Boond (₹899) for a single cabin; both run on the water-based Hotel Collection fragrance (from ₹299), which is not reed diffuser oil and is not interchangeable with it. Above about 3,000 sq ft of one connected volume the step is one SOSA Angaan (₹25,999) on the duct, not a second Vaayu. Closed treatment rooms, consultation cabins and any closed one-to-one room are never scented - the person inside cannot leave and did not choose to be there - and that is achieved by placement and doors rather than by a lower setting. A named seat away from the source is kept genuinely fragrance-free and offered at the desk rather than waiting to be asked. Fragrance is an ambience decision like lighting or seating: it does not remove or reduce anything in the air, it treats nothing and relieves nothing, it makes no contribution to what a visitor buys, books or decides, and it works alongside ventilation, cleaning and housekeeping, never instead of them. The visitor's preference overrides any plan. Ask for a scenting plan for your space and send the floor plan with the closed rooms and the entrance marked.

A note from Sonal

Then the arithmetic: millilitres a day is the tank volume divided by the days it lasted, and millilitres per run hour is that divided by the daily hours. A 400ml tank at setting three running twelve hours a day and emptying in eighty days is 5ml a day, or about 0.42ml per run hour. That number is the constant the whole estate is built from.
From there it is per branch: fourteen hours at the same setting is 5.8ml a day and roughly 175ml a month, eight hours is about 3.3ml and roughly 100ml. Add the ten figures rather than multiplying an average by ten, because the average branch does not exist and the sum is what you order. Two cautions.

Frequently asked questions
How do I work out fragrance consumption across ten branches?
Measure one branch through a full refill cycle at a known setting and hours, convert to millilitres per run hour, then scale each branch and add them.
Why is the manufacturer's tank life not enough?
Because it is a laboratory figure quoted as a range, since intensity and daily run hours are exactly the two variables your branches set for themselves.
What has to be written on the fill card?
The fill date, the intensity setting, and the hours a day the timer actually runs - the timer block rather than the opening hours, which often differ.
Can I multiply one branch's usage by ten?
No. Each branch has its own hours and setting, so the ten figures are added. The average branch does not exist anywhere in the estate.
How often should the measurement be repeated?
Once a quarter, and whenever something structural changes - a new fragrance, different opening hours, or the seasonal swing in air conditioning load.
Write the date on the next tank you fill
SOSA — Studio Scenting one cycle, one constant
A stated tank life is a laboratory figure at an intensity and a run time the maker cannot know, which is exactly what your branches vary. Measure instead: fill one tank, record the date, the setting and the hours the timer actually runs, then record the date it runs dry. Tank volume over days gives millilitres a day; over daily hours it gives millilitres per run hour, and that one constant scales to every branch. Add the ten figures rather than multiplying an average. Made in India, and a portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
