Using the parlance of pop psychology, these words / phrases / sentences are guaranteed to trigger me.
Some are perfume specific, others reflect my copy-editing background in which I’m super careful with the use of certain words (not every new hyped niche release can be a “masterpiece”, surely?). Or at least try to be.
Most are self-explanatory. Others are quite petty. And please note, I’m also not above contradicting myself.
Which words / phrases are sure to set you off?
These are some of my regular red alerts:
DUPE
LONG-LASTING PERFUME
INFLUENCER
BEAST MODE
MASTERPIECE
OLD FASHIONED
I ONLY WEAR NICHE FRAGRANCES
