It's been a while since I last ordered from them, but TPC have always been reliable in my experience, and have been recced for years by a lot of the mainstream perfume bloggers I follow.
And I definitely agree with the other commenters that going for any sort of generalized list of "greatest perfume classics" runs the risk of getting you a lot of things that may be historically interesting, but aren't anything you'll particularly *like*. It might be simpler to look at lists like the one on Now Smell This!, or even just going over reviews on blogs that focus on a lot of classics (like NST, BoisDeJasmin.com, or YesterdaysPerfume.com) and making notes of anything that sounds particularly appealing to you. And once you've tried a few more you may be able to start figuring out that there are certain dominant notes or fragrance types that really work or don't work for you, certain eras or creators that do and don't fit your tastes, and focus more of your exploring in those areas that seem to click for you.
