What would be the word for the vibe someone gives off... their mood.

He has a sour __.

Part of me wants to put attitude but I'm not talking about the attitude or the vibe really... I'm talking about the mood which he has as a person... almost his character.... like his inclination is to act this way. I know the word I just can't think of it... it starts with a "d" or an "e" I think...

    Though the sort of person who says vibe might prefer aura. (I'm not such a person, so I agree with coleopterist).

'Demeanor' seems more descriptive of what another would pick up on. It refers to the way one carries themselves outwardly, whereas Disposition is more of a state of mind.
