This got me to thinking about what kinds of fragrances I'd actually wear that would evoke the pleasant memories of my childhood:

• Warm cinnamon toast;
• Library paste;
• Ditto fluid (was there every anything quite so heady as a ditto fresh off the machine?);
• Autumn leaves burning;
• Fresh cut alfalfa;
• My mother's meatloaf, corn and mashed potatoes;
• Lemon meringue pie fresh from the oven;
• Mr. Bubble;
• Salt, ocean breeze and damp, sticky sand;
• Coppertone;
• My father's starched shirts;
• Magic markers; and,
  
• Cray-Pas

What fragrances would you choose?

Blame Jay for this one:

Your Score: 2 - the Helper

Thanks for taking the test !

You chose CX - your Enneagram type is TWO (aka "The Charmer").

"I must help others"

Helpers are warm, concerned, nurturing, and sensitive to other people's needs.

How to Get Along with Me

• Tell me that you appreciate me. Be specific.
  
• Share fun times with me.
  
• Take an interest in my problems, though I will probably try to focus on yours.
  
• Let me know that I am important and special to you.
  
• Be gentle if you decide to criticize me.
  

In Intimate Relationships

• Reassure me that I am interesting to you.
  
• Reassure me often that you love me.
  
• Tell me I'm attractive and that you're glad to be seen with me.

What I Like About Being a TWO

• being able to relate easily to people and to make friends
  
• knowing what people need and being able to make their lives better
  
• being generous, caring, and warm
  
• being sensitive to and perceptive about others' feelings
  
• being enthusiastic and fun-loving, and having a good sense of humor

What's Hard About Being a TWO

• not being able to say no
  
• having low self-esteem
  
• feeling drained from overdoing for others
  
• not doing things I really like to do for myself for fear of being selfish
  
• criticizing myself for not feeling as loving as I think I should
  
• being upset that others don't tune in to me as much as I tune in to them
  
• working so hard to be tactful and considerate that I suppress my real feelings

TWOs as Children Often

• are very sensitive to disapproval and criticism
  
• try hard to please their parents by being helpful and understanding
  
• are outwardly compliant
  
• are popular or try to be popular with other children
  
• act coy, precocious, or dramatic in order to get attention
  
• are clowns and jokers (the more extroverted TWOs), or quiet and shy (the more introverted TWOs)

TWOs as Parents

• are good listeners, love their children unconditionally, and are warm and encouraging (or suffer guilt if they aren't)
  
• are often playful with their children
  
• wonder: "Am I doing it right?" "Am I giving enough?" "Have I caused irreparable damage?"
  
• can become fiercely protective
