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?

There's also the fairly common option of "Buy a copy of Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez's Perfumes: The A-Z Guide for entertaining reading, then buy samples of things that sound interesting."
