Back in 2010 I wrote an article which was published by Grant, after the Times, Telegraph, Spectator and New Statesman all comprehensively failed to recognise my genius; it was short-listed for a Jasmine Award. Strategic stalking led to my volunteering when Grant (aka 'Sir') needed an assistant. My duties involve dealing with e-mail, working on the fragrance directory, writing news and features, faffing about with social media, and flirting outrageously with famous perfumers.
