Planet Perfumes is a metaphor for people since they come in different shapes and sizes just as fragrances do with their various designs and aromas. Al-Attiyah believes that people should not be judged based on their looks for those who resemble fancy perfume bottles on the outside may in fact be revealed to be odorous later on. The exact opposite holds true in that a simple vial may in fact carry the most luxurious essence.
