Perfumed Court recs, anyone?

[lunabee34]

For my next adventure in perfume, I want to move beyond BPAL and test some more traditional, alcohol-based perfumes. The Perfumed Court seems like a cool place to get sample sizes of those sorts of perfumes. So, I guess I have two questions for y'all.

1. Have any of you purchased perfumes from this site, and what was your experience?
2. This site seems pretty extensive, specializing in a lot of classic perfumes. What should I sample? What's the top ten list of classic perfumes that I should smell?

I get most of my samples from either The Perfumed Court or Surrender to Chance. They've both been reliable, but TPC sends a small coffee candy with each order. TPC also has a better selection of vintage Guerlains.

http://www.nstperfume.com/2012/11/26/26-vintage-fragrances-every-perfumista-should-try/ is a good place to start.

I am relieved to see everyone commenting and saying that they use the site. Yay!

Thanks for the link; that looks like a great place to start.

ETA: I was also telling Rydra_Wong below that you and Thatyourefuse have inspired me with your reviews and I might start with some of the things y'all have posted about that sounded interesting to me.
