I found that their fragrances cover a whole different style of scents - I got samples and ordered Bulls Blood and Slow Explosions which to me were their boldest scents .
Others I didn't care to much for .
Good quality all round though .
My advice would be try before you buy. . One mans meat is another mans fish .

A City on Fire is interesting, as long as you want to smell like a burnt match. I know that doesn't sound attractive, but there was something about it that drew my interest (although not enough to go beyond the sample).
Memoirs of a Trespasser is lovely, although in the same ballpark as Eau des Baux.

+1 on getting some samples. The last time I looked (a while ago) you could order a pick-and-choose set of samples.
I recommend The Cobra And The Canary. Bull's Blood is also a frequently-mentioned favourite of folks.

I am a bug fan of IA. But no reason not to try before you buy. I really like Falling Into the Sea, one of the best beach scents. I agree that Cobra and the Canary is unique and excellent. Bulls Blood is popular. So is Memoirs. I am fond of Soft Lawn for the jasmine. I do not like City on Fire, but I do not like burned wood scents. The discontinued Orchid Terrible is my wife's favorite cologne. Mine, too, on her. Josh is one of the nicest guys ever! A skilled nose.
The Cobra and the Canary is excellent. My favorite of the line.
They're really nice fragrances, but many seem to be love or hate. I'd get a short story collection, I found I loved about half of it. Really enjoyed Whispered Myths, Bulls Blood and Every Storm a Serenade. A lot of the others were very interesting and unique, but not something I'd see myself wearing every day. Def won't find a lot of fragrances using scents of tennis balls and asphalt, so gotta respect them doing something different!
Cobra and the Canary.
Slow Explosions.
Cape heartache.
A city on fire.

Make up a sample pack of those most frequently recommended by others here, and of those the sound of which most pique your interest.
Good luck!
