The spice cabinet has been neglected in perfumery. I imagine this has to do with perfume producers not wanting to be pinned down by the literal, the prosaic, the kitchen. From the consumer...

Lacoste Challenge comes out of the bottle with citrus notes followed by the woodsy finishing notes. Very nice fragrance... The projection, sillage, and longevity are average, or perhaps...

I already sampled the ones aimed at men, and I'd like to try the others now. Any suggestions? They don't have to work as masculines but that would be nice.

I like the new Un Coeur en Mai. And the Chypre de Palatin is nice but you may already have that one.

My favorites are Enlevement au serail (fruity chypre) and Promesse de l'aube (fuzzy floral chypre). La Belle Helene has a striking and very sweet pear top note, though I'm not sure I'd like wearing it. I have not tried Chypre Palatin, which sounds interesting. But, in general, they're all worthy.

I was thinking of this same question just the other day when ordering samples to go with an online perfume order. I went with Chypre Palatin and Enlevement au Serail. Really looking forward to trying them without having to go to that awful bit of Harrod's.
