Which SOSA attars publish jasmine? Two of the four. Mastani publishes night-blooming jasmine with Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka, and it is in the trio. Adaa publishes jasmine sambac alongside bergamot, green cardamom, neroli and magnolia - but Adaa is not part of the trio and is bought on its own at ₹379 in 3ml. Ameeri is rose-led rather than jasmine-led, and Nawaab has no floral in its list.
Can one scent in the gift deliberately move further away? In the published trio, one already does. Nawaab is the deepest of the four on SOSA's own ordering and leads on white royal oud rather than a flower. You do not choose that - the trio is one fixed combination in a single size, and a different three, or three different sizes, means buying the bottles individually at full price. What that departure does for her is not something SOSA publishes any information about.

One known note is a strange amount of information. It is enough to feel responsible with and nowhere near enough to reason from, which is why this question usually arrives as a worry about consistency: if I know jasmine is safe, should everything in the box stay near it? The useful thing about asking it of SOSA's attars specifically is that the answer is already published rather than up for debate. The note lists are on the product pages, the trio is a fixed set of three, and between them they have already decided how much floral thread runs through the box. Your job is not to design that. It is to work out whether the set that exists is the right one to send, and that is a smaller and much more answerable question.
The bottle that answers this question by existing. Nawaab publishes no floral note at all - white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf - and SOSA publishes it as the deepest of the four attars, at ₹399 in 3ml, ₹699 in 6ml and ₹1,199 in 12ml. It is one of the three bottles in the SOSA Attar Trio, alongside Ameeri and Mastani, which both lead on a flower. So the published set already makes the choice: two carry a floral, one deliberately does not.
Quick answers — read this first
If I only know they love jasmine, should every fragrance in a gift keep a floral connection? With the SOSA trio the question is settled before you order, because the set is fixed. The SOSA Attar Trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani at ₹1,055 for 3 x 3ml. Mastani publishes night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose, Ameeri is rose-led with Taif rose and Persian saffron, and Nawaab publishes no floral note at all - white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood, aged tobacco leaf.

The short answer
Short answer: The published trio has already answered this. Mastani carries night-blooming jasmine, Ameeri is Taif rose led, and Nawaab publishes no floral at all - two of the three keep a floral thread and one deliberately does not. The trio is fixed at Rs 1,055 in 3 x 3ml and cannot be recomposed. The only other jasmine attar, Adaa, is outside the box at Rs 379.
The pick: The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 - two floral-carrying bottles and one that is not, which is the balance the question is asking about, already published.
Why: One known note is enough to rule things in but not enough to rule things out, so a set that keeps two familiar anchors and one deliberate departure gives more information back than three bottles clustered around the same flower.
In this guide
Knowing somebody's signature fragrance is more information than most gift buyers have, and it still does not answer the question, because the next bottle is not the same bottle. What three small attars buy you is evidence rather than a guess - three things to put on skin over a week. What the published trio is not is a set you assemble: it is one fixed combination of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, in whichever single size you choose. And no page can tell you what anybody will make of any of them.

Straight answer
If I know someone loves jasmine but do not know what else they enjoy, should every fragrance in the gift contain a floral connection, or can one scent deliberately move further away?
With the published SOSA trio, one already does - and you do not get to change that, which is the honest starting point. The SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed combination of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, with all three bottles in the single size you choose, at ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 in 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 in 3 x 12ml against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 bought one at a time. Read the note lists and the question answers itself. Mastani publishes night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka - the direct connection to the one thing you know. Ameeri publishes Taif rose with Persian saffron, Indian sandalwood, a measured oudh, amber and white musk - a floral, but rose rather than jasmine and warm rather than fresh. Nawaab publishes white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, with no floral note in its list at all, and SOSA publishes it as the deepest of the four. So the box is two anchors and one deliberate departure. If you wanted both jasmine attars instead, that is Mastani and Adaa - Adaa publishes jasmine sambac and is the lightest of the four - bought individually at full price, because Adaa is not in the trio and the trio cannot be recomposed. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, the drydown develops after the first thirty minutes, and a 3ml is roughly 60 wears at one dab. What none of this can tell you is whether the departure is the bottle she ends up wearing; SOSA publishes nothing about how any person responds to a fragrance, and neither will this page. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
Two of the three bottles carry a floral and one does not. That balance is published, not chosen, and it is already the answer to the question.
The quick version when jasmine is the only fact you have: the 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 for two floral-carrying bottles and one deliberate departure, 3 x 6ml at ₹1,859 or 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 when you expect all three to be worn, Mastani alone at ₹1,179 in 12ml when you want the jasmine connection and nothing else. Adaa, the other jasmine attar, is bought separately from ₹379.
The SOSA Attar Trio from ₹1,055
Three things to settle when jasmine is the only fact you have
Most versions of this question assume the buyer is designing the balance. With a fixed published set you are not designing it, you are checking it - and these three things are what the check consists of.
01
What one note tells you
Jasmine rules things in. It does not rule anything out
A single known note is a boundary drawn on one side only. Knowing she loves jasmine tells you that a jasmine composition is unlikely to be unwelcome; it tells you nothing about oud, saffron, tobacco leaf or vetiver, because none of those has been tested against her. Treating the known note as the outer edge of what is acceptable turns a fact into a fence. That is the case for keeping one anchor in the box rather than three - an anchor is useful because it makes the unfamiliar bottles easier to place, not because everything has to resemble it. And if the whole box stays inside the known note, the gift can only confirm what you already knew.
Tip: One note is a floor to stand on, not a ceiling to stay under.
02
What the box actually is
The balance is published, and Adaa is not part of it
The reason this question is unusually answerable here is that the SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed combination: Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, in whichever single size you select - ₹1,055 for three 3ml, ₹1,859 for three 6ml and ₹3,189 for three 12ml. Nobody assembles it around a known note. Two of the three lead on a flower and one does not, and that ratio is a property of the product rather than of your judgement. Adaa - the fourth attar, the lightest of the four, and the other bottle in the range with jasmine in its list - is sold on its own at ₹379, ₹669 and ₹1,149. SOSA's page states that a different three, or three different sizes, means buying the bottles individually and the trio price no longer applies.
03
What a departure is for
The bottle that is furthest away is the one that returns information
It is worth being clear about what the unlike bottle is actually doing in a gift like this. The two floral-carrying attars can confirm a preference you already suspect; only the one that leaves flowers behind can tell you something you did not have. Nawaab is white royal oud with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, published as the deepest bottle SOSA makes, and it is the only one of the three that is not a question about flowers. Whether that is welcome is genuinely unknown - SOSA publishes no information about how anybody responds to a scent - but the unknown is the point. A box in which every bottle is safe is a box that cannot return an answer, and at roughly 60 wears in a 3ml there is enough of each to find out properly.
Tip: A gift made entirely of safe choices can only tell you what you already knew.
The bottle the trio does not contain
Adaa, and why it matters to half these questions
SOSA publishes four attars. Three of them are in the trio and one is not. Adaa - bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac and white musk - is published as the lightest of the four and a daytime attar, and it is sold on its own at ₹379 in 3ml, ₹669 in 6ml and ₹1,149 in 12ml. That matters because the trio page itself lists a reason not to buy the trio: it is an evening set of depth, warmth and floral, and somebody who wears bright, light, citrus-led fragrance is not the buyer for it. If what you know about their taste is that it is fresh, the honest route is Adaa rather than the box - and if you want Adaa alongside two others, that is three individual bottles at full price, because the trio cannot be recomposed.
See Adaa from ₹379 →
Work it out in this order
Check the set against what you know, in this order
- Write down the one note you are sure of. That is your anchor, not your brief.
- Read the published lists. Mastani and Ameeri carry a floral; Nawaab does not.
- Decide whether you want two anchors and one departure, or one anchor only.
- Then size it. 3ml trio at Rs 1,055, or Mastani alone at Rs 1,179 in 12ml.
The SOSA principle
A known note is a place to start from, not a boundary to stay inside. The bottle that moves furthest away is the only one that can tell you anything new.
And with a fixed set, the balance between anchor and departure is published in advance - which removes the part of this decision you were least equipped to make.
Which SOSA attars publish a floral, and which one does not
Here is the whole range against this one question, since it is the clearest way to see it. Mastani at ₹389 in 3ml, ₹685 in 6ml and ₹1,179 in 12ml publishes night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka - the direct jasmine connection, standing on a woody base. Ameeri at ₹385, ₹679 and ₹1,165 publishes Taif rose with Persian saffron, Indian sandalwood, soft oudh, amber and white musk - a floral thread, but a different flower and a warmer treatment. Nawaab at ₹399, ₹699 and ₹1,199 publishes white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, and no floral whatsoever. Adaa at ₹379, ₹669 and ₹1,149 publishes jasmine sambac with bergamot, green cardamom, neroli and magnolia over white musk, vetiver and cedarwood - the second jasmine in the range, the lightest of the four, and the one bottle the trio does not contain.
The SOSA gift edit
Four ways to build around one known note, and where each runs out
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| The SOSA Attar Trio, 3 x 3ml at ₹1,055 | Two bottles that carry a floral and one that does not, at roughly 60 wears each - the balance this question is about, already published. Where it fails: nobody chooses the three, and SOSA publishes the set as an evening one of depth, warmth and floral, so a wearer of light daytime jasmine is not who it is for. |
| Mastani on its own, 12ml at ₹1,179 | The maximum-anchor option: night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose on a base of sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka. One bottle, one direction, no departure at all - which makes it the confident purchase rather than the informative one, and confidence is what a single known note does not give you. |
| Both jasmine attars, bought individually | Mastani at ₹389 and Adaa at ₹379 in 3ml, as two bottles on one order at full price - one jasmine over a woody base, one jasmine in a light citrus composition. Honest limits: Adaa cannot be substituted into the trio, no trio price applies to two bottles, and neither of them moves away from the known note. |
| Nawaab on its own, from ₹399 | The pure departure, bought deliberately: white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, published as the deepest of the four. It carries no floral thread at all, so as a single gift it is a bet rather than a comparison - which is precisely what it is not when it sits in a box beside two florals. |
What the three sizes actually buy you
3ml, 6ml or 12ml - and roughly sixty wears in the smallest
All three trio tiers contain the same three attars; the only variable is how much of each. ₹1,055 buys 3 x 3ml, and the published figure for a 3ml is roughly 60 wears at one dab - which is the number that makes a discovery gift a real one rather than a set of samples, because it is enough to wear a scent on an ordinary Tuesday and not just sniff it in a shop. ₹1,859 buys 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 buys 3 x 12ml, the largest published size of each. Against the same bottles bought singly those are savings of ₹118, ₹204 and ₹354. The trio ships with all three bottles in the same size - there is no mixed-size set, and SOSA states that mixing sizes means buying the three individually and losing the trio price.
See the SOSA Attar Trio from ₹1,055 →
One format note that matters when a familiar flower is the anchor. An attar is dabbed rather than sprayed, from a built-in applicator, and the published instruction is to dab on pulse points and not to rub - rubbing is the commonest way somebody flattens a jasmine before it has had a chance to develop. The drydown develops after the first 30 minutes, which is exactly the part of a floral-over-woody composition that the top note does not predict. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin rather than on a scarf. All four attars are alcohol-free and DPG-free, carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, IFRA-compliant and hand-blended in small batches in Pune. The trio's three bottles come in a single gift-ready box; beyond that, custom label or logo on product is the one branding option SOSA offers.
₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 in 3 x 6ml, ₹3,189 in 3 x 12ml. Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - the same three every time, all in the size you pick, in one gift-ready box.
from ₹1,055
₹379, ₹669 and ₹1,149. Bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, white musk. The lightest of the four and the one the trio does not contain - the honest answer whenever the question is a fresh or daytime one.
from ₹379
₹1,149 to ₹1,199 for a single 12ml. The alternative to the trio when you already know the direction and the useful thing is depth in one bottle rather than breadth across three.
from ₹1,149
One message, one honest recommendation
Tell SOSA what they already wear, anything they have said they dislike, whether this is a first attar or an addition, and what you want to spend - and you will be told which size and which bottles, including the times the honest answer is Adaa on its own from ₹379 rather than the trio.
If every bottle in the box is chosen to resemble the one thing you already know, the gift cannot tell either of you anything.
— Sonal Sahani, SOSA
The SOSA gifting range
Two questions settle almost every attar gift where you already know what they wear, and the first one is not price. Are you buying breadth or depth? Breadth means three bottles to put on skin over a week, which is what the published trio is for; depth means one 12ml in a direction you are already confident about. Then: does what you know about their taste sit inside what the trio actually contains? The trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - warm rose and saffron, white royal oud, and night-jasmine with Damask rose. It has no light, fresh or citrus-led bottle in it, because Adaa is the lightest of the four and is sold separately from ₹379. Price follows those two answers rather than leading them.
The SOSA range, sorted by how much it asks of the person receiving it
Start from what the gift demands, not from what it costs
| Product | What it is | What it is for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| SOSA Attar Trio - 3 x 3ml | Three to smell, not one to guess | ₹1,055 for Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani in 3ml each, against ₹1,173 bought singly. The published figure for a 3ml is roughly 60 wears at one dab - enough to actually live with a scent rather than sniff it | ₹1,055 |
| SOSA Attar Trio - 3 x 6ml | The middle size | ₹1,859 against ₹2,063 bought singly. The same three attars; the trio ships with all three bottles in the same size | ₹1,859 |
| SOSA Attar Trio - 3 x 12ml | Three full bottles | ₹3,189 against ₹3,543 bought singly. The largest published size of each, in one gift-ready box | ₹3,189 |
| Adaa - 3ml, 6ml, 12ml | The lightest in the range | ₹379, ₹669 and ₹1,149. Bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac and white musk. Adaa is not in the trio - SOSA publishes it as the daytime attar and sells it separately | from ₹379 |
| Ameeri - 3ml, 6ml, 12ml | Warm, rose and saffron led | ₹385, ₹679 and ₹1,165. Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, Persian saffron, a measured oudh and amber | from ₹385 |
| Mastani - 3ml, 6ml, 12ml | Floral depth | ₹389, ₹685 and ₹1,179. Night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose over sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka | from ₹389 |
| Nawaab - 3ml, 6ml, 12ml | The deepest in the range | ₹399, ₹699 and ₹1,199. White royal oud led, with Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf. SOSA publishes this as the deepest of the four | from ₹399 |
| SOSA solid body perfumes - 15g | Worn, and smaller still | ₹459 to ₹549. The other worn format in the range. No wear-time figure is published for these, so this page does not give one | from ₹459 |
| SOSA reed diffusers | A room, not a person | From ₹749 in 50ml. Listed here only to rule it out: a reed diffuser scents a room and an attar is worn. They are not substitutes, and a fragrance-taste question is not answered by a bottle that sits on a shelf | from ₹749 |
The single most useful fact on this page: the published Attar Trio is one fixed combination. It is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, every time, and all three bottles ship in the size you select. Adaa cannot be substituted into it, and there is no mixed-size trio - SOSA's own page says that if you want a different three, or three different sizes, you buy the bottles individually and the trio discount does not apply. Published across all five pages: 6 to 8 hours of wear per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, a built-in dab applicator (dab on pulse points, do not rub), a carrier of Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, and alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant formulations hand-blended in small batches in Pune. A 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin rather than on fabric. Prices above are the published selling prices; bulk orders are welcome and custom label or logo on product is available, with quantities settled on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531. SOSA is an Indian fragrance house based in Pune, sending orders across India. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
The honest spec sheet
What the SOSA attar pages publish, and what they do not
Everything below is on the live product pages. Anything not on this list is not something a page like this should state.
- The four attars and their prices - Adaa, bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac and white musk, ₹379 / ₹669 / ₹1,149; Ameeri, Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, Persian saffron, soft oudh and amber, ₹385 / ₹679 / ₹1,165; Mastani, night-blooming jasmine, Damask rose, Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka, ₹389 / ₹685 / ₹1,179; Nawaab, white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, ₹399 / ₹699 / ₹1,199. In 3ml, 6ml and 12ml. Those four are the entire attar range.
- The trio - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani at ₹1,055, ₹1,859 and ₹3,189 for 3 x 3ml, 3 x 6ml and 3 x 12ml, against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 bought singly. It is one fixed combination, all three bottles in the same size, and Adaa is not in it. A different three, or mixed sizes, means buying individually at full price.
- Wear - 6 to 8 hours on skin per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown developing after the first 30 minutes. A 3ml is published at roughly 60 wears at one dab. That is the only quantity figure SOSA gives for an attar.
- The format - a concentrated oil attar with a built-in dab applicator; dab on pulse points and do not rub. Carrier of Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba. Alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant, skin-safe, heat-stable to 45 degrees C, hand-blended in small batches in Pune by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles trained. Attar oils can stain light silks, so they go on skin rather than fabric.
- Relative depth, in SOSA's own words - Adaa is published as the lightest of the four and Nawaab as the deepest, with Ameeri and Mastani between them. That ordering is published; no number from any product page is quoted here, and no claim is made about how any of them behaves on a particular person.
- Not published, and therefore never stated here: any sillage, projection or room-distance figure; any shelf life, expiry, concentration or oil percentage; any seasonal or skin-chemistry claim beyond "longer on warm or oily skin"; any bulk rate, minimum quantity, price break or lead time; any presentation beyond the trio's single gift-ready box and a custom label or logo on product; and anything whatsoever about what a recipient will like or how a gift will be received. Those go to WhatsApp +91 96192 18531.
Know what they wear and not what to buy next? Tell SOSA on WhatsApp at +91 96192 18531 four things: the fragrance they already own and wear, anything they have said they dislike, whether this is a first attar or an addition to a collection, and roughly what you want to spend. You will get one straight answer rather than a catalogue - including the cases where the honest answer is a single 3ml at ₹379 to ₹399 rather than the trio, or Adaa on its own because the trio is published as an evening set. What is not on this page, because SOSA does not publish it: any sillage, projection or room-distance figure; any shelf life, expiry or concentration; any claim about how an attar behaves on a particular person; any bulk rate, minimum quantity or lead time; and anything at all about what a recipient will think. What is: 6 to 8 hours of wear per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, a drydown that develops after the first 30 minutes, roughly 60 wears in a 3ml at one dab, a built-in dab applicator, a carrier of Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, and alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant formulations made in India. On presentation: the trio's three bottles ship in a single gift-ready box, which is published; beyond that, custom label or logo on product is the one branding option, and there is no custom box, printed sleeve or insert card. 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 message we get most often on WhatsApp is not what should I buy. It is a more specific and more interesting problem: I know exactly what she wears. I have known for years. I just cannot buy it again. That person is not short of information. They are short of a next step, which is a different thing entirely, and almost nothing written about fragrance gifting treats it as different.
Here is the part I would want them to hold on to. Knowing somebody's signature tells you where they started, not where they would go. A person who has worn one bottle for a decade has usually not rejected the alternatives - they have never had three of them on their own skin at the same time. So the useful gift is not a better guess at one bottle. It is evidence: several things to wear, on separate days, and the chance to notice which one they reach for without being asked to be polite about it.
The part I will be blunt about, because our own product page is blunt about it: the trio is one fixed set. Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, all three in whichever size you choose. It is not assembled around a person's taste, Adaa is not in it, and if somebody wears bright citrus and nothing else, that box is the wrong box - Adaa on its own is the honest answer, and it costs a great deal less. I would rather lose the larger sale than have three bottles sit unopened on somebody's dressing table.
And the thing nobody selling fragrance should pretend to know: I cannot tell you what they will like. I can tell you what is in each bottle, that one dab carries six to eight hours, that a 3ml is roughly sixty wears, and that all four are alcohol-free and blended here in Pune. What happens when a particular person puts a particular attar on a particular wrist is genuinely theirs to find out - and giving them three ways to find it out is, I think, the whole point.
Frequently asked questions
Do all three attars in the trio contain a floral note?
No. Mastani publishes night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose, and Ameeri publishes Taif rose with Persian saffron. Nawaab publishes white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, and no floral note at all. So the published set is two bottles carrying a floral and one that deliberately does not - a balance that comes with the product rather than being chosen by the buyer.
Which SOSA attars publish jasmine specifically?
Two of the four. Mastani publishes night-blooming jasmine, and Adaa publishes jasmine sambac. Mastani is in the trio at Rs 389 in 3ml, Rs 685 in 6ml and Rs 1,179 in 12ml. Adaa, which is not in the trio, is bought on its own at Rs 379 in 3ml, Rs 669 in 6ml and Rs 1,149 in 12ml. Ameeri is rose-led and Nawaab has no floral in its list.
Can I swap Nawaab out for a second jasmine bottle?
No. The SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed combination - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - and all three bottles come in the single size you select. If you want Mastani and Adaa instead, you buy those two individually at full price, which is Rs 389 and Rs 379 in 3ml, and the trio price no longer applies to that order.
Is it a mistake to include a scent that is nothing like what they already love?
That is a judgement about a person rather than a fact about a product, and SOSA publishes nothing that would settle it. What can be said is what each bottle contains and how much of it there is: roughly 60 wears in a 3ml at one dab, so the unlike bottle gets a real trial rather than one sniff. Whether it is worn after that is genuinely not knowable in advance.
What if the jasmine she loves is light and fresh rather than deep?
Then the trio is published as the wrong set - SOSA's own page describes it as an evening set of depth, warmth and floral and points light wearers elsewhere. Adaa is the lightest of the four and the one that pairs jasmine sambac with bergamot, green cardamom and neroli, at Rs 379 in 3ml, Rs 669 in 6ml and Rs 1,149 in 12ml, bought on its own.
Take the next step
Decide how much of the box should stay near the one note you know
The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when two anchors and one departure is the balance you want - and it is the balance the published set already has, at roughly 60 wears per bottle. 3 x 6ml at ₹1,859 or 3 x 12ml at ₹3,189 when all three are expected to be worn. Mastani on its own from ₹389 when the jasmine connection is the whole brief. And Adaa from ₹379 when the jasmine she wears is the light, citrus-lit kind, because the trio is published as an evening set.
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.

About this guide: Written by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles-trained founder and perfumer at SOSA Home & Body. Product recommendations reflect the SOSA range; the reasoning about how to buy fragrance for somebody whose taste you partly know applies to any brand.Specifications verified from the live SOSA product pages, September 2026: SOSA publishes four attars and one pack of three, and that is the entire attar range. Adaa - bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood - is ₹379 in 3ml, ₹669 in 6ml and ₹1,149 in 12ml. Ameeri - Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, Persian saffron, soft oudh, amber and white musk - is ₹385, ₹679 and ₹1,165. Mastani - night-blooming jasmine, Damask rose, Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka - is ₹389, ₹685 and ₹1,179. Nawaab - white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf - is ₹399, ₹699 and ₹1,199. The SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed combination - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani - at ₹1,055 for 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 for 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 for 3 x 12ml, against ₹1,173, ₹2,063 and ₹3,543 for the same bottles bought singly. All three bottles in a trio ship in the same size and in a single gift-ready box. Adaa is not in the trio; SOSA publishes it as the daytime attar, sold separately, and the trio page states that a different combination or mixed sizes means buying individually without the trio price. Published across all five pages: 6 to 8 hours of wear per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin; a drydown that develops after the first 30 minutes; roughly 60 wears in a 3ml at one dab; a built-in dab applicator, dabbed on pulse points rather than rubbed; a carrier of Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba; alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant and skin-safe; heat-stable to 45 degrees C; hand-blended in small batches in Pune; country of origin India. Attar oils can stain light silks and are applied to skin rather than fabric. For comparison: SOSA solid body perfumes are ₹459 to ₹549 in 15g and are also worn, though no wear-time figure is published for them; SOSA reed diffusers from ₹749 scent a room rather than a person and are not an alternative to an attar. What is not published, and is therefore not stated here: any sillage, projection or room-distance figure; any shelf life, expiry, concentration or oil percentage; any seasonal or skin-chemistry claim beyond "longer on warm or oily skin"; any bulk rate, minimum quantity, price break or lead time; and any presentation beyond the trio's single gift-ready box and a custom label or logo on product. Limits of this guide: no claim is made anywhere on this page about mood, stress, calm, sleep, headaches, sensitivity or wellbeing, in either direction. No claim is made about what any recipient will like. Nothing here states or implies that a named person will enjoy, prefer, adopt or be impressed by any fragrance, that a scent will suit them or become their signature, or that a gift will be well received; SOSA publishes no information of that kind and none is invented here. No third-party perfume, perfume house or brand is named, and no resemblance, alternative or dupe claim is made about any SOSA product. No rating, review count, strength score or customer name from any product page is cited, and no competitor or category of competing product is characterised. No statement is made about what any community, religion or family wears or gives, and no etiquette rule is presented as fact. No fragrance is assigned to a gender; SOSA publishes all four attars as wearable by anyone. Bulk orders are welcome and custom label or logo on product is available; that is the only branding option, and quantities are settled on WhatsApp. 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.
