Your personality type is the smell of an unrecognised perfume.

You are elusive, enigmatic, and sometimes confusing. You may seem familiar, but the memories you trigger are likely to be from dreams, or embarrassing former lovers. You are neither good nor bad, and it seems your sole purpose in life is to confound others. Super!

Your personality type is the smell of bonfire smoke in your hair the next day.

You always outstay your welcome, and you are a constant reminder to all your friends of how great their lives used to be. People remember the old you with fondness, but you peaked a while back, and now they can’t wait to get rid of you. Nice work!

Your personality type is the smell of an old electrical blender being turned on after several years in the cupboard.

You are hard to pin down, but everyone knows you when they come into contact with you. You may seem dangerous and potentially lethal, but in actual fact you are harmless. Many people find you off-putting, however, and you are likely to be replaced a lot during your lifetime. Cool!

Your Personality Type is the Smell of Freshly Cut Grass

Like your smellsake, you are generally popular, if a little clichéd. You may seem pleasant and are often associated with positive emotions, but in reality you are a desperate distress signal caused by wounds that others do not see. Despite your sunny demeanour, you are perpetually in crisis. Way to go!
