Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for fragrance blending and perfumery, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas that will help him explore his hobby and fuel his creativity. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. A Perfume Making Kit: Invest in a high-quality perfume making kit that includes a variety of essential oils, fragrance notes, blending tools, and empty perfume bottles. This will allow your son to experiment with different scents, learn about the art of fragrance blending, and create his own unique perfumes.

2. A Fragrance Workshop Experience: Look for local fragrance workshops or classes where your son can learn from professionals in the field. This could be a one-day workshop or a series of classes that delve deeper into the science and techniques of perfumery. It would be an enriching and educational experience for him.

3. Fragrance Ingredient Samples: Purchase a set of fragrance ingredient samples, such as pure essential oils or synthetic fragrance oils, so that your son can expand his olfactory palette. These samples will give him the opportunity to experiment with a wider range of scents and learn how different ingredients combine to create unique fragrance blends.

4. Books on Perfumery: There are several books available that cover the art and science of perfumery. Look for titles like "The Secret of Scent" by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez, "Perfumes: The A-Z Guide" by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez, or "Essence and Alchemy" by Mandy Aftel. These books will provide your son with valuable knowledge and insights into the world of perfumery.

5. A Custom Perfume Consultation: Consider treating your son to a custom perfume consultation with a professional perfumer. This personalized experience will allow him to work one-on-one with an expert to create a signature fragrance that aligns with his preferences and personality. It could be a truly memorable and unique gift.

6. A Perfume Decanting Set: Help your son organize his fragrance collection with a perfume decanting set. This will allow him to transfer his favorite perfumes into smaller, travel-friendly bottles while preserving their quality. It's a practical gift that will undoubtedly be appreciated by any fragrance enthusiast.

Remember, the key to a meaningful gift is to show that you support and encourage your son's passion for fragrance blending and perfumery. These gift ideas will not only provide him with tools and resources to further explore his interest but also demonstrate your thoughtfulness and understanding of his hobby.

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.”
