Life Of The Party

Life of the Party is a 2020 Eau de Parfum from Early Modern, the Glasgow house, composed by Clara Weale. The brand describes it in terms of anticipation and energy, and the materials it lists are jasmine sambac, orange flower, cardamom and sandalwood. It gives no top, heart and base pyramid, so the notes are shown together. Lemon and amber also appear in other records of the scent. The perfumer's own account of it is lively and transparent, with leafy, orange-flower and citrus facets, jasmine, a creamy floral feel, a little cardamom and sandalwood that persists. A wearer who has written about it agrees on the shape: a citrus-led opening that becomes comforting and sandalwood-focused, with a powdery impression and little cardamom. The few who have voted are positive. Nine rate it favourably, and the votes on how long it lasts and how far it carries are moderate, so it should not be expected to fill a room or last all day. The perfumer says she wears it while working, which fits the light, easy character. Life of the Party suits wearers who want a bright floral and sandalwood scent that stays soft. It is a good candidate for a sample, since the evidence about wear time is thin.
