Try Timbuktu and L'Eau de Artisan. Al Oudh and Saffran Troublant are also nice. This is a great house.
Fou d'Absinthe is an awesome scent; it's great for the season.
I've got Thé Pour un Été on a wrist right now! It's a very nice tea/jasmine/lemon scent if you're in to that sort of thing.
My favourites are Al Aoud, Havanna Vanille, and Tea for Two.
My favs are Amber Exrteme, Tea for Two and Fille en Aiguilles.
Dzing! is in the category of things you have to sniff even if it doesn't suit you to wear. Premier Figuier is also an interesting fragrance, less sweet that Diptyque's Philosykos.
+1 Great for good weather.
My favorite is Passage d'Enfer but I'm a big incense fan. It has top notes of lily and aloe with underlying musk, frankincense and myrrh.
I'd opt primarily for the Duchaufour compositions. My top three recommendations are:
Dzongkha
Premier Figuier
Timbuktu
Dzongkha
Premier Figuier
Timbuktu
L'Artisan is great. I'm a big fan of Passage d'Enfer, Timbuktu and Fou d'Absinthe, but my favorite is Dzongkha. I also just tried one of their new releases Coeur de Vetiver Sacre--not sure about it yet. It's very interesting definitely not a traditional vetiver.
ooohhh, well these guys have a rather huge catalogue and I can't say I've smelled anywhere near all of them, but some must tries IMO are:
Tea for Two, and Al Aoud, and Saffron Troublant
Dzing! and Timbuktu
Fou D'Absinth
Tea for Two, and Al Aoud, and Saffron Troublant
Dzing! and Timbuktu
Fou D'Absinth
Tea for Two, Fou d'Absinthe, and Voleur de Roses are all fantastic.
I'm not a big fan of the house, but I'll echo those who say to try Timbuktu. It's oft cited as a great scent at Basenotes. Perfume Critic Turin raves about it as well.
Havana Vanille could be a good wet shaver scent I suspect.
Voleur de Roses is a kind of masculine leaning dirty rose/patchouli scent.
Al Oud I kind of like and am teetering on the fence about a full bottle. Heavy on the cumin; light on the oud though. Though I think a lot of men would eschew it, I think it's probably thought to be a pretty seductive scent by women.
As MHV implied, Dzing is flat out fraking weird, weird stuff. Not nasty smelling, just odd. Supposed to the "scent of the circus." You figure out what that means.
Mechant Loup (Big Bad Wolf) is one of their few "masculine" labeled scents. A small sample of this showed me potential. It's honey, hazelnut, sandalwood and myrrh with a bit of musk. With your "handle," looks like a must try, wolf.
I find their scents a bit on the refined and lighter side for me- but that's MY tastes. YMMV. If you find one you like, you will stand out. While they are pretty prolific niche perfumer, the average person has probably never heard of them. And if you find one you like and a woman gets close, she will make note of it. These are well crafted scents for sure.
If you can get some samples, go for it. A very well regarded perfumer by any standard.

L'Eau de Artisan was the only real head-turner of the family
Fou D'Absinthe starts of great, then dries down real quick to a simple, light vanillic woody scent. Nice, but not worth the money IMO
