Long-lasting
A little goes a long way
Because it is concentrated oil, a single dab on the pulse points lasts for hours and leaves a soft, personal trail - no heavy spray needed. Roll-on, easy to carry.

A note from Sonal
I trained as a perfumer at ISIPCA in Versailles, but some of the scents I love most are the ones I grew up with in India - the attars. Rose, oud, saffron, jasmine, sandalwood: warm, deep notes worn close to the skin, with centuries of craft behind them.
So I built SOSA's attars in that spirit - alcohol-free, oil-based roll-ons on classic Indian notes, made to last from a single dab. Ameeri, Nawaab, Mastani and Adaa each tell a different story, and they are meant to feel personal and grown-up, not loud.
One honest note: attars are concentrated, so a little is plenty - and because natural materials like rose and oud can occasionally react on sensitive skin, it is worth a small patch test with any new fragrance.
