Summary

This quote suggests that while beauty can be visually pleasing, it lacks true value if it is not accompanied by virtuous qualities. Just like a flower without fragrance, beauty alone is superficial and lacks the depth and substance that virtue brings. The quote suggests that true beauty lies in the combination of physical attractiveness and the presence of moral excellence or good character. It conveys the idea that outer appearance alone is not enough to make something or someone truly beautiful, but rather it is the inner qualities and virtues that add meaning and worth to that beauty.
