A perfect pangram contains every letter of the alphabet only once and can be considered an anagram of the alphabet. The only perfect pangrams of the English alphabet that are known use abbreviations or other non-dictionary words, such as "Mr Jock, TV quiz PhD, bags few lynx", or use words so obscure that the phrase is hard to understand, such as "Cwm fjord-bank glyphs vext quiz", in which cwm is a loan word from the Welsh language meaning an amphitheatre-like glaciated depression, vext is an uncommon way to spell vexed, and quiz is used in an archaic sense to mean a puzzling or eccentric person. It means that symbols in the bowl-like depression on the edge of a long steep sea inlet confused an eccentric person.

Seems like an aggressive pickup line

Shouldn't it be Fjord-bank cwm, as in the cwm on the bank of the fjord? Cwm fjord-bank sounds like the fjord-bank of the cwm.

Yeah, if you switch to some similar phrases like "river bank hole drawings" it's easy to see that it wouldn't be "hole river bank drawings". Also it's missing an article before quiz. I guess it could be written in headline-style, but that seems like cheating. Just another reason it doesn't really work I guess, and why the "waltz bad nymph" sentence is so impressive.

Or it's a pseudo proper noun, like teach.
