For the fragrance and perfume enthusiast like your dad, there are several meaningful and personalized gift ideas that will surely make his birthday extra special. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Perfume making kit: Consider gifting him a perfume making kit that includes essential oils, blending tools, and base notes. This will allow him to create his own unique and personalized fragrances from the comfort of his home. Look for a kit that also provides instructions, so he can learn the art of perfume making.

2. A fragrance subscription box: There are subscription services available that offer a curated selection of luxury and niche fragrances each month. This would be a great gift that allows your dad to discover new scents and expand his fragrance collection. Look for a subscription box that offers samples from different fragrance houses, so he can explore a variety of scents.

3. Customized perfume: Consider gifting him a custom-made perfume that is tailored specifically to his preferences. Many fragrance companies offer personalized fragrance creation, where experts can assist your dad in choosing the perfect notes and creating a fragrance that reflects his unique personality and style.

4. Fragrance workshop or experience: Check if there are local workshops or experiences available that offer hands-on classes in perfume making. This could be a fun and educational gift for your dad, where he can learn about different fragrance notes, blending techniques, and even create his own signature scent under the guidance of professionals.

5. Fragrance books: If your dad enjoys expanding his knowledge about fragrances, gift him books that delve into the history, ingredients, and art of perfume making. There are several interesting and informative books available that explore the world of fragrances, such as "Perfumes: The Guide" by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez or "The Perfume Bible" by Josephine Fairley.

6. Fragrance-inspired accessories: Consider gifting him accessories that are inspired by his love for fragrances. You could look for cufflinks or tie pins in the shape of perfume bottles or atomizers, or even a personalized fragrance decanter that he can use to display his favorite scents.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that shows you have listened and understood your dad's interests and passions. By choosing a gift that celebrates his love for fragrance and perfume making, you are not only giving him a thoughtful present, but also an opportunity to indulge in his passion and explore new horizons in the world of scents.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
