Help me decide my graduation scent!

Discussion

Hello! I graduate college in a week! I really want to wear a fragrance for it and am pondering my options. However, I have one thing I would like to specify first:

I WILL BE WEARING A BODY SPRAY OR WEAK PERFUME, WHICH IS WHAT ALL OF THE OPTIONS TO MY KNOWLEDGE ARE.

Why? The ceremony is two hours. I’ll be sitting next to people in super cramped seats, or a really packed line, for TWO HOURS. I will also be probably spending a lot of time dealing with parking in a car that will include FIVE PEOPLE filling every seat, including a very tall SO cramped in the back seat. We will be packed like sardines. For frankly both my comfort and others, that is why I have made that decision.

With that in mind, here are the options! Of these I am leaning most towards Dream Bright (love the name, and it seems to be a very nice crowd pleasing perfumey smell that, rather than being super floral, is a berry) but if you think others are better let me know! I will also admit: I do not actually know what the performance of Pink Sugar is like. I know it’s a toilette and I will only be receiving it (Christmas gift from slightly long-distance SO) the Thursday night before the ceremony. Even then, I will not get to wear test it Friday- the day before the ceremony- because my boyfriend and I are visiting a cat cafe and cats don’t typically like perfumes. After that maybe, but I doubt that is enough time. So if it is stronger than I think please tell me!

Options (if you need descriptions I’ll answer any comments asking! this post is just already getting long enough to lag while typing!):

-Bath and Body Works Dream Bright (current front-runner) -Bath and Body Works Into The Night -Bath and Body Works Sweet Whisky -Bath and Body Works You’re The One (I LOVE this one but am worried it’s too straight-up strong floral) -Bath and Body Works Magnolia Charm (see You’re The One but more floral, and a white floral at that) -Bath and Body Works Perfect Peony -Bath and Body Works Rose -Bath and Body Works Golden Sunflower -Aquolina Pink Sugar

Any opinions are welcome! As much as I would love to wear Jo Malone Peony and Blush Suede or Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl (samples) or my bottle of Clinique Happy I feel they are too strong for even me in those circumstances.
