Pocket Scents Highlights – 2025✨

Pocket Scents Highlights – 2025 ✨

As 2025 draws to a close, we wanted to take a moment to look back on the year and share a few highlights with you.

Before we do, a quick word of honesty. Like many small businesses, 2025 hasn’t been without its challenges. Rising costs across the board from rent and electricity to packaging, bottles and the oils that go into our fragrances have made it a demanding year. We also know many of you have been navigating the ongoing cost-of-living pressures and job uncertainty yourselves.

Despite all of this, we’re incredibly proud to say that we’ve come through the year stronger than expected, finishing 2025 in good financial health. That’s largely thanks to your continued support, and for that we are genuinely grateful.

Celebrating 10 Years 🎉

October marked a huge milestone for us: 10 years of Pocket Scents. Naming our celebratory fragrance 10 Years felt like an easy decision.

This perfume is a completely original creation, with planning beginning back in autumn 2024. Around that time, we’d also been working on a whisky-inspired fragrance for a separate project that, unfortunately, never made it past the sample stage due to budget issues. Rather than let those ideas gather dust, we went back to the drawing board and reworked several of the samples—making them unisex, warm, and with improved longevity.

The result was 10 Years… and it went on to become our most successful launch ever.

The feedback has been incredibly uplifting. Barney B. summed it up beautifully:

“The best yet from Pocket Scents.
I have a few Pocket Scents fragrances and this up to now is my favourite. Long lasting and beautifully blended – you really do get the malt whisky and hazelnut vibes. Sensationally good and worth every penny!”

More Standout Launches

2025 didn’t stop there. We also launched Gallus, named after the Scottish word meaning confident and just a little cheeky – which felt rather fitting.

Tony D. shared this about Gallus:

“A real classic scent.
This is a really nice, interesting one. It has this citrus that punches you in the face, then dies down to wander around the woody/amber notes… This is a real classic scent – not a powerhouse, but it’s not meant to be. I absolutely love it.”

Another standout new launch was Far Coast, which quickly became a top-seller and racked up plenty of 5-star reviews. Mark T. had this to say:

“Absolute heat! Bought this on holiday recently and wore this a few times in the evening. You don’t need many sprays as performance is brilliant. Vibrant, but spicy and warm – it’s really inviting, and the people I was away with loved it too. Great release again!”

Looking Ahead to 2026 🌅

Replicating the success of our 2025 launches won’t be easy, but we’re feeling confident about what’s coming next. We’ve got some exciting fragrances in the pipeline, and we think you’re going to love them.

In late January 2026, we’ll be launching Havana Cologne. Many of our most regular customers have already had a sneak preview, as we’ve been including samples in recent orders—and the early feedback has been hugely encouraging.

Thank You 🤍

Most importantly, we want to say a heartfelt thank you for choosing Pocket Scents in 2025. Your support, kind words and loyalty mean more to us than we can ever properly express.

We hope you’ll stay with us for the next part of the journey.

Warm wishes,
Brian & Matt
