Look closely at the petals of SO95 and each one is shaped like a small boat: cupped in the middle, with the edges rolled over and pinched to a point at the tip. They are arranged in staggered rings around an open centre, giving the water-lily outline that buyers associate with calm, spa-style fragrance. The sola has a warm cream tone.
The wick is a thick, soft white cotton cord that runs out from the back of the flower; at the centre a small tuft of white cotton fibre is visible among the inner petals. When the loose end of the wick is placed in a diffuser bottle, fragrance oil climbs the cotton and spreads into the sola pith, which then releases the scent.
SO95 is supplied unscented, for use with the buyer’s own fragrance oil. Because some oils can tint or darken sola, a compatibility test before bulk production is recommended. The lotus form makes it a natural choice for wellness, yoga and spa ranges. Floral Mongers, a sola flower exporter from India, handcrafts it in volume for diffuser brands and gift-set makers.

Natural variation
The petals are rolled and set by hand, so the openness of the lotus and the curl of each tip differ slightly between pieces. Natural sola varies from cream to pale ivory, and the wick may sit at a slightly different angle on each flower. These are natural characteristics of handmade and botanical products, not defects; shade, size and grade are confirmed on sample approval.
Care & storage
- Supplied unscented; the buyer adds fragrance oil through the wick
- Run a compatibility test first, as certain oils can tint sola
- Keep dry and out of direct sunlight until use
- Handle by the base or wick to avoid denting the rolled petals
- Keep away from open flames
- Unpack promptly on arrival and let the pieces air in a dry room; avoid storing in sealed, humid packaging
