Her writing is nothing like that though. Why are you making it out to seem way more verbose and empty than it actually is with your little example?
Take her most recent review as an actual example. It's a vignette followed by an extremely simple description of the scent itself, and this is how every single review she's written is structured.
> southern gothic ghost town, a baptist church basement, second-hand smoke on thrifted tartan, sassafras fizzle, graveyard get-togethers, bowling allies filled with a miasma of varnish, fields turned yellow, pool table green felt, 90s gone 70s, flaking faux leather passenger seat, bullet shells lining the wooden steps of a back porch, creased boots.
> opening with the distinct scent of resinous root beer botanicals, myths man plays a trick on me. taking my hand and promising to lead me to a wonderland of warmth full of fresh flowers and herbs, i acquiesce, just to be dragged into a world of dusty cellars, decaying blooms, faux wood paneling, stuffy cars with ashtrays in the cup holders, gas station nag champa incense, and sad smiles; middle-of-nowhere chic, a tarnished crucifix falling onto my head as i sleep.. and i love it! i love the dust, the ash gracing my hair like snowfall, the wilted flowers falling onto shag carpet, the metallic tinge of a busted lip, and of course, my old high school with a pasture, right next to the neighborhood cemetery.. the opening is equal parts boozy and resinous with an almost aldehydic effervescence to it, and within seconds, clouds of dust and gunpowder rise from dead grass like smoke, veiling everyone in fog, resurrecting funerary flowers and raining soot.
What's so hard to read about this? Literally nothing. The only words I didn't know here I googled and found ot that they're perfumery terms (like aldehydic). Scent is intangible and abstract, so most of the reviews on this site lean in this direction. What do you expect? "Smells like flowers and whatever else is listed by the company"? No shit. That's not much help.
