BPAL expertise?

I'm thinking of trying out some Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab scents, because I find commercial scents pretty uninteresting. I'd love advice from anyone who's bought BPAL stuff (whether you love it, hate it, or whatever). Are their scents very heavy? Are they usually very feminine? (I know to avoid scents with a lot of flowery notes, but if their scents run feminine in general I may not bother.) Are there particular ranges or scents you think are great and would recommend for a n00b to try? Of course I'm aware that a scent that's great on one person may be terrible on another.
Generally I go for citrusy scents or spicy, woody ones. I don't like florals. And I detest patchouli--the smell of it makes me feel sick.
ETA: At the moment I'm only considering their main lines of scent, the ones that can be ordered as imps' ears, rather than any of the special/rare lines.
