Founder Diaries · Attars, Fragrance Discovery & Buying for Known Taste
How do I check a list of refusals against the range? Read them as materials and run them down four published note lists. A refusal naming oudh or sandalwood takes all three trio bottles at once, because every one of them publishes both. A refusal naming rose takes Ameeri and Mastani and leaves Nawaab. A refusal naming citrus touches only Adaa, which is not one of the three.
What if the refusals only leave one bottle standing? Then buy that bottle rather than the box, and buy it in a size that matches the job. A single 12ml is ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 across the four attars and a 3ml is ₹379 to ₹399. One bottle is a proposal rather than a comparison, which is a real loss - but it beats paying ₹1,055 for a fixed three when two of them are already excluded.

This is the most defensible position a fragrance buyer can be in, and it feels like the worst. A list of refusals is real information. It came from the person, it is specific, and unlike a favourite it does not go out of date. What it will not do is hand you a name, because a refusal describes the shape of everything left over rather than any one thing inside it. That is precisely the argument for a discovery format: when the evidence narrows a field without ranking it, the sensible move is to stop ranking on somebody's behalf and give them the field. The catch in this range is that the published trio is a fixed set, so it does not get narrowed by your refusal list one bottle at a time. It passes the list or it fails it, as a unit.
The box clears a refusal list or it fails it - there is no partial version. The trio is Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani at ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml, ₹1,859 in 3 x 6ml and ₹3,189 in 3 x 12ml, all three bottles in one size. Oudh and sandalwood are published in every one of them, so either refusal removes the whole set. Citrus appears only in Adaa, which is the fourth attar and sold separately from ₹379.
Quick answers — read this first
Is a discovery trio sensible when you only know what they refuse? Usually yes, and for a reason that is worth stating precisely. A refusal removes candidates without promoting any, so the honest next step is to hand over the survivors rather than pick among them. The SOSA Attar Trio is ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml with roughly 60 wears in each bottle, which is enough for three real opinions instead of one guess. The test is whether the refusal list leaves all three standing.How do I check a list of refusals against the range? Read them as materials and run them down four published note lists. A refusal naming oudh or sandalwood takes all three trio bottles at once, because every one of them publishes both. A refusal naming rose takes Ameeri and Mastani and leaves Nawaab.

One bottle is a proposal rather than a comparison, which is a real loss - but it beats paying ₹1,055 for a fixed three when two of them are already excluded.
The short answer
Short answer: Yes, when the refusal list leaves the whole box standing. Refusals narrow a field without naming a winner, so breadth is the honest response. The SOSA Attar Trio is a fixed set of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani at Rs 1,055 in 3 x 3ml, so it passes or fails your refusal list as a unit - oudh and sandalwood are published in all three, while citrus appears only in Adaa, which is outside the box.
The pick: The 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 when nothing on the refusal list names oudh, sandalwood or rose - three survivors at roughly 60 wears each, and a verdict that comes from them rather than from you.
Why: Refusals define a complement, not a ranking. Handing over three survivors is the only way to turn a complement into an answer, and the 3ml tier is the size that makes each one a real trial.
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
I know more about what someone refuses to wear than what they actively love - is an attar trio a sensible format when I'm trying to discover their positive preferences?
It is, with one structural condition, and the condition is the whole of the useful advice. Start with why the format fits. A refusal tells you where a line is; it does not rank anything on the good side of that line, and it never will, however many refusals you collect. So the information you hold narrows a field and then stops - which means any single bottle you pick out of the survivors is your guess wearing her evidence as a costume. Handing over several survivors is the only move that keeps the verdict with the person who has to wear it, and a 3ml published at roughly 60 wears at one dab is what makes each survivor a real trial rather than a shop-counter reaction. Now the condition. The SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed combination - Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, with all three bottles in the single size you select - 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 for the same bottles bought one at a time. Nobody composes it and no bottle comes out, so your refusal list does not trim it - it either clears it or kills it. Run the list as materials and the audit is short. Oudh is published in all three, led in Nawaab and sitting under the florals in Ameeri and Mastani, so an oud refusal takes the box entirely. Sandalwood is published in all three - Indian in Ameeri, Mysore in Mastani and Nawaab - so that refusal does the same. Rose takes Ameeri and Mastani and leaves Nawaab. Vanilla or tonka takes Mastani alone; tobacco leaf or leather takes Nawaab alone. And citrus touches only Adaa, the fourth attar, which is not in the trio and is bought separately from ₹379 - so a citrus refusal costs the box nothing. Two honest limits. There is no arrangement in which you keep two of the three at the trio price, and there is nothing published anywhere that can be stretched into a prediction about which survivor she wants. A portion of every SOSA order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
Refusals narrow a field and rank nothing in it. That is an argument for breadth - if the fixed box survives the list intact.
The quick version: a refusal narrows the field and ranks nothing in it, which is the argument for breadth. But the ₹1,055 trio is one fixed set, so it clears your list or it fails it - oudh and sandalwood are published in all three bottles, while citrus sits only in Adaa, which is outside the box and sold from ₹379.
The SOSA Attar Trio from ₹1,055
Three things a list of refusals is good for, and one it is not
There is a good instinct buried in this question and a trap sitting next to it. The instinct is that knowing the refusals is worth more than most buyers think. The trap is treating the box as something your refusal list can edit. It cannot, and the three sections below work through what follows.
01
What refusals are worth
They describe the complement, and the complement has no ranking in it
A refusal is the most reliable thing anybody tells you about fragrance, because it comes from an experience rather than an aspiration. Somebody who says they will not wear something has almost always worn it, or stood next to it, and decided. Compare that with a stated favourite, which is often the bottle they were given, kept using and never tested against anything.
But the structure of the information has a hard limit. Refusals carve out what is left; they say nothing about the order of what is left. Ten refusals do not produce a winner, they produce a smaller room. So the question a buyer in your position should ask is not which survivor to choose - it is how many survivors there are, because that number, and nothing else, decides whether you are buying breadth or depth.

Tip: Ten refusals still name nobody. They just make the room smaller.
02
How the box responds
The trio is one unit, so it clears the list or it does not
This is the fact that changes the answer for this particular range, and it is worth being blunt about. The SOSA Attar Trio is a published combination of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, always those three, with every bottle in the one size you pick. It is not composed to order and nothing is substitutable. So a refusal list does not shave a bottle off it and reduce the price - if one of the three fails, the box fails and you are buying singly at full price.
Which makes the overlap between the three the number that matters. All three publish oudh and all three publish sandalwood, which means those two refusals are the expensive ones: either takes the whole box in a single stroke. Rose sits in two of the three. Vanilla, tonka, tobacco leaf and leather each sit in exactly one. And citrus sits only in Adaa, which is the fourth attar and outside the set, so it is the one common refusal that costs the trio nothing at all.

03
How to decide
Count the survivors, and let the count pick the format
Turn the reasoning into arithmetic and it stops being a mood. Three survivors and the trio is the honest purchase: ₹1,055 in 3 x 3ml with roughly 60 wears in each, three directions that are genuinely unalike, and a verdict that comes back from her instead of from you. Two survivors and you are buying two bottles at full price, because there is no two-bottle price - for instance Mastani at ₹389 and Nawaab at ₹399 comes to ₹788 in 3ml. One survivor and breadth has nothing left to be broad across, so buy that bottle properly: a 12ml is ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 depending which attar it is.
One caution on the sizes. The 3ml is the discovery tier and the only one with a published quantity figure behind it. SOSA publishes roughly 60 wears for a 3ml and no figure whatsoever for the 6ml or the 12ml, so nobody can scale it for you, and a larger box is a supply decision rather than a better experiment.

Tip: The number of survivors picks the format. You only pick the size.
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.

Work it out in this order
Turn the refusal list into a purchase in four moves
- Write the refusals down as materials, not as adjectives, before you shop.
- Read all four published note lists against that list, one material at a time.
- Oudh or sandalwood in a refusal takes all three trio bottles at once.
- Count the survivors. Three or more means breadth; one means a single 12ml.
The SOSA principle
Knowing the refusals is not the weak version of knowing the favourite. It is the version you can actually check against a published list.
What it cannot do is rank the survivors - which is why the survivors go in a box rather than getting narrowed down to one.
What each kind of refusal takes out of a four-bottle range
Here is the audit in full, so you can run your own list against it. Ameeri publishes Taif rose, Indian sandalwood, Persian saffron, soft oudh, amber and white musk, at ₹385 in 3ml, ₹679 in 6ml and ₹1,165 in 12ml. Nawaab publishes white royal oud, Mysore sandalwood and aged tobacco leaf, with agarwood, leather, vetiver and amber alongside, at ₹399, ₹699 and ₹1,199, and SOSA publishes it as the deepest of the four. Mastani publishes night-blooming jasmine, Damask rose, Mysore sandalwood, oudh, vanilla and tonka, at ₹389, ₹685 and ₹1,179. Those three are the trio, every time. Adaa publishes bergamot, green cardamom, neroli, jasmine sambac, magnolia, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood, at ₹379, ₹669 and ₹1,149, and it is the fourth attar rather than a member of the set - SOSA publishes it as the lightest of the four and its daytime attar, sold on its own. Two gaps worth naming while you audit: there is no gourmand attar in the range and no smoky one, so refusals aimed at either of those remove nothing that exists.
The SOSA gift edit
Four formats, and the survivor count that each one suits
| The option | Who it suits, and where it fails |
|---|---|
| The SOSA Attar Trio, 3 x 3ml at ₹1,055 | The right answer when all three bottles clear the refusal list, which mainly means the list does not name oudh, sandalwood or rose. Three unalike directions, roughly 60 wears each, and the verdict handed back to her. It is fixed, one size throughout, and Adaa is not part of it. |
| Two bottles bought one at a time | What you are left with when one of the three fails the list. There is no two-bottle price, so it is full price throughout - Mastani at ₹389 and Nawaab at ₹399 is ₹788 in 3ml. Narrower than three, and worth doing only when the excluded bottle is genuinely excluded. |
| A single 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199 | For a refusal list so wide that one attar survives it. Depth instead of comparison, and the tier to pick when this is supply rather than an experiment. SOSA publishes no wear figure for a 12ml, only roughly 60 wears for a 3ml, so nobody can quote you a number for it. |
| Going back and asking for one name | The cheapest option on this list and often the best. A refusal list is easy to extend and a favourites list is hard to start, so ask for a material rather than a mood - if she can finish the sentence with a named ingredient, buy depth; if she cannot, buy breadth. |
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.

The practical facts are the same across all four bottles and they answer most of what is left. Alcohol-free, DPG-free, IFRA-compliant and skin-safe, carried on Indian sandalwood oil and jojoba, hand-blended in small batches in Pune by Sonal Sahani, ISIPCA Versailles trained. Each bottle has a built-in dab applicator and the published instruction is one dab on pulse points with no rubbing; attar oils can stain light silks, so they go onto skin. Published wear is 6 to 8 hours per bottle, longer on warm or oily skin, with the drydown developing after the first 30 minutes. The trio's three bottles come in a single gift-ready box, which is the only presentation SOSA publishes - beyond custom label or logo on product, anything else you want wrapped is yours to arrange.
₹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.
A refusal list makes the room smaller without putting anybody at the front of it. Handing over the room is the only honest response.
— 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.

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.

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
Is it worse to know their dislikes than their favourite scent?
It is different rather than worse, and in one way it is stronger. A refusal is usually drawn from something they wore or stood next to and rejected, while a stated favourite is often the bottle they were given years ago and never tested against anything. What a refusal cannot do is rank what is left, which is why it argues for a discovery format rather than for a single bottle.
Which refusals rule out the whole SOSA Attar Trio?
Oudh and sandalwood. Oudh is published in all three trio bottles - led in Nawaab, under Taif rose and Persian saffron in Ameeri, under night-blooming jasmine and Damask rose in Mastani. Sandalwood is published in all three as well, Indian in Ameeri and Mysore in Mastani and Nawaab. Since the combination is fixed, either refusal takes the entire box rather than one bottle of it.
Which refusals cost the trio nothing?
Citrus, because the only citrus in the range is bergamot and neroli in Adaa, which is the fourth attar and not one of the three in the box. Sweetness is the other one: there is no gourmand attar in the range at all, and the closest anything comes is the vanilla and tonka at the end of Mastani's list, inside a floral over sandalwood and oudh. There is no smoky attar either.
Can I drop the bottle they would refuse and keep the trio price?
No. The SOSA Attar Trio is one fixed combination of Ameeri, Nawaab and Mastani, with all three bottles in the single size you select. SOSA's own page states that a different three, or three different sizes, means buying the bottles individually and the trio price stops applying. Two bottles bought one at a time are charged at full price - Mastani at Rs 389 and Nawaab at Rs 399 comes to Rs 788 in 3ml.
How much does the trio save against buying the three singly?
The trio is Rs 1,055 for 3 x 3ml, Rs 1,859 for 3 x 6ml and Rs 3,189 for 3 x 12ml, against Rs 1,173, Rs 2,063 and Rs 3,543 for the same bottles one at a time. That is Rs 118, Rs 204 and Rs 354, which is ten per cent at every tier. It applies only to the fixed three, so it is not available on any other combination.
Take the next step
Count the survivors first, then buy the format that fits the count
Three survivors and the 3 x 3ml trio at ₹1,055 is the honest purchase - three unalike directions, roughly 60 wears in each, and the verdict handed back rather than guessed. ₹1,859 in 6ml or ₹3,189 in 12ml when supply is the point. Two survivors and it is two bottles at full price, because no two-bottle price exists. One survivor and it is a single 12ml at ₹1,149 to ₹1,199. Tell SOSA the refusal list on WhatsApp and get it checked.

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.
