Birthday present for a 4 year old who loves perfumes/nice smells?

Can anyone think of anything? I’ve looked at perfume making kits but they look either too old or crappy boxes of disappointment. Not sure whether her own perfume is inappropriate though I do let her have a squirt of mine which she loves . She has always wanted to smell everything - flowers, the spices in the kitchen, tea etc. If anyone can think of anything appropriate for her age or knows of a suitable perfume making kit for a 4 year old I’d be really grateful. I’ve made her lavender bags which she loves but am now drawing a blank as to anything else she might enjoy. She loves mixing and making things. Thanks.

Bath bomb making kit?

Do you have space to get her things to plant her own window box/tub/area of garden with fragrant plants?

Have a look at Avon. They have some lovely things that are age appropriate.

You can also make your own bath stuff in lush which she'd probably enjoy.

You can get some amazingly scented playdough kits on Etsy.

Lush

Thanks so much. A lavender plant for the garden would be good and I think there is just about enough space. Bath bombs I’d not risk as her skin can be sensitive and a bit prone to irritation from bath products so she just uses baby bath. Will go check out Avon. Would never have thought of looking there for children’s things.

Ds has something called moh doh which is like aromatherapy dough.

Not a kit but this looks simple to do

Flowers, rubbing alcohol and some fiddling.

Disney shop has a big bottle of body mist that is sparkly with jasmine on it. Dd is 4 and loves it - smells nice when ot goes on but isn't overpowering or anything either

Boots do a lot of nice safe but fragranced stuff around Christmas time, I have bought some for gifts. Worth having a look at their website. Superdrug aren't bad too.

Will definitely have a go at letting her make perfume Breathlessness. That looks pretty simple 👍🏻. Thanks for the link. The Disney store mist also sounds great. Shame they closed our store down. Will look online though. Will also try Boots. These are great ideas. Didn’t expect any replies.

Make your own scented markers. Pretty sure they're crayola
