Well, #59 was nutmeg with cheese dishes, which is similar but not quite so specific as your first one. If we choose not to duplicate it, your other suggestions are numbers 99 to 101. So we've made it.



Of course, no reason to stop there if people can think of other good herb combinations.

68) Mustard (specifically Coleman's English mustard powder, but any mustardy type thing would probably do) to enhance the flavour of cheese on toast.

69) Fennel seeds (again) in soap - definitely a non-culinary use! (Honey and lemon (in the form of grated rind) also seems to work quite well, but isn't really herbs or spices).
