Ladies who often hear men (or his family) boasting about the long list of the man's fine qualities (or his assets) can probably relate to the following poem.
A fragrance is one whose aroma speaks for itself
Not the one that is described in the words of its salesman.
From Sa'adi's "Golestan". This poem appeared in the fourth grade text book in Iran.
