Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a keen interest in fragrance and perfume making, I have a couple of gift ideas that will surely excite and inspire him.

1. Perfume Making Kit: Consider getting him a perfume making kit that includes essential oils, empty bottles, and blending tools. This will allow him to explore and experiment with different scents, helping him develop his skills and creativity in perfume making.

2. Fragrance Books: Look for books on perfume making or fragrance history. These books can provide valuable insights into the art of perfumery, the science behind it, and profiles of prominent perfumers. They can serve as excellent learning resources and offer inspiration for your son's passion.

3. Workshop or Class: Check if there are any local fragrance or perfume making workshops or classes that he can attend. These hands-on experiences can be incredibly educational and give him the opportunity to learn from experts in the field. It will also provide him with a chance to connect with like-minded individuals and expand his knowledge in a practical setting.

4. Subscription to Fragrance Samples: Consider signing him up for a subscription service that delivers a variety of fragrance samples each month. This will allow him to explore new scents, expand his fragrance palette, and learn more about the different notes and combinations used in perfumery.

5. Custom Perfume Creation Experience: Look for a company or perfumer who offers custom perfume creation experiences. These experiences involve working one-on-one with a perfumer to create a personalized fragrance. Your son will have the opportunity to learn about the different components of a fragrance and create something unique that truly represents his personal style and interests.

6. Visit a Perfume Museum: If there's a perfume museum nearby, plan a visit for the two of you. Exploring the history and evolution of fragrances can be both educational and inspiring for your son. It will give him a deeper understanding of the art form and perhaps spark new ideas for his own creations.

7. Fragrance Ingredients and Supplies: Help him build his collection of fragrance ingredients like essential oils, absolutes, and aroma chemicals. Additionally, consider gifting him supplies such as measuring tools, pipettes, and storage bottles. Having a well-stocked arsenal of ingredients and supplies will give him the resources to experiment and fine-tune his perfume-making skills.

Remember, these gifts are not only practical but also show your support and encouragement for your son's passion. They are thoughtful gestures that will inspire him to continue exploring and developing his love for fragrance and perfume making.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
