Yep, it reads like she skims through the reviews on fragrantica and picks out a few words/phrases and mashes them together.

Her columns reminds me of the word bingos lawyers used to have at work with points for including odd words in court cases.
They also remind me of how much the guardian uses language that made younger me feel too uneducated to read it

she is totally rubbish at it. Whoever told you it was one of your strengths LIED to you Sali. You just come over as pretentious and trying too hard.
I rather enjoyed that column. Except that the *maintenance shag* kept popping into my head 
Oh I didn’t know they did a copy of this, my favourite perfume ever. I’ll have to take a look as Byredo is just a rip off. Thank you!On the topic of perfume, I ordered the perfume parlour version of Mojave Ghost and oh man I love it. Byredo is overpriced and overhyped IMO but yeah I’ve been smelling my own wrists for a week so there you go
In other news one post on here has led me to being blocked on twitter and Instagram.
Oh wow, same username?
She has that one high eyebrow arch thing that too much Botox gives you. Like she’s constantly giving the evil eye 
Bloody hell, I made a joke recently about Lauren updating her spreadsheet on us all but didn’t think she was still at it. What a life she leads.
Mojave Ghost - it’s fast becoming mine as well. So enigmatic and beautiful. I’m intrigued to know what sapodilla smells like on its own. Tempted by Rose Of No Man’s Land and La Tulipe now
(Btw in case it helps - I am a convert to the perfume parlour oils over the sprays as the scents are more true without the alcohol and longer lasting too).
She reminds me of a high school English student doing their best to impress the teacher with overwrought language from a thesaurus.

Orwell's six rules:
- Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
- Never use a long word where a short one will do.
- If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
- Never use the passive where you can use the active.
- Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

Yep. So looks like she does indeed have a spreadsheet
Thanks for the advice. I can see me spending a fortune trying them out.Bloody hell, I made a joke recently about Lauren updating her spreadsheet on us all but didn’t think she was still at it. What a life she leads.

Then who is walking the poor dog?
Just ordered some!On the topic of perfume, I ordered the perfume parlour version of Mojave Ghost and oh man I love it. Byredo is overpriced and overhyped IMO but yeah I’ve been smelling my own wrists for a week so there you go
Right up her alley then
Oh god. So many adjectives, and alliteration to boot. This would never have got by me. Is there no subs desk on the Guardian anymore?

I saw your post and it was just honest and saying you had been a fan and weren't anymore. Hardly trolling or bullying. Sorry but I really think tracking a person down after a post is pathetic.
To be fair I have one eyebrow higher and I definitely don't get botox!She has that one high eyebrow arch thing that too much Botox gives you. Like she’s constantly giving the evil eye

But she definitely doesn't read here. DefinitelyYep. So looks like she does indeed have a spreadsheet

It surely can't be Lauren reading here on SH's behalf. Not when "IT. HAS. MADE. HER. ILL."
Me too
How long has L been her assistant? 5 years? 6? Longer? Does she get annual appraisals? Professional development? I'm always thrilled when my assistants moved on and up to bigger things.
SH doesn't strike me as the mentor type. More like the professional jealousy type
"I paid for my lunch." It's a freaking burger. Jesus, can she get any more petty?
