Strongest smelling soap?

Wearing to much aftershave/perfume - sure sign of adolescens in my book (yup I am old and grumpy :) )
Though no longer adolescent, I'm young and (fairly) grumpy! :D I'd like to say I don't wear too much aftershave/perfume. In fact, my OH comments on how she comes across people wearing too much and is glad I don't. :D I just want some stronger smelling soap than I currently have.
 
I have some Floris No 89 soap from years ago, still fragrances thebathroom with that understated scent, which lingers, when I use it. Problem is that Floris have reformulated so frequently I'm never sure if their current ( pricey ) versions perform as well as in previous incarnations.

PAA Dirt.

It may not be the strongest in terms of "fill the room", but in terms of "WTF?!", it's a standout for me. As the name suggests, it smells like wet soil at first. Changes upon lathering to being slightly more like a walk in a wet forest, but I've never smelt anything like it.
 
Wholly Kaw - Dance of Agrumes Special Edition is the strongest scented because they were aware the citrus was too strong. Citrus oils have a low flash point and goes away when added to soap at high temperatures. So the strong fragrance has been addressed in the next batch. This really blew my head right off when I open tub during my shaves, and I'm not going to sell it or throw it away as I'm used to it.

Tabula Rasa Patchouli. Had a sample of that stuff, but managed to have my entire house smelling as patchouli for two or three days. I've never encountered a more powerful scent in a shaving soap.

Hey you old geezer, hiya doin,

Yep, Floris did a bad thing when the soap was changed a while back. Heard both good and bad reviews since then. Penhaligons too around then, which was crazy.

Saw a post on a different forum about a member being mad because of the poor quality of a Floris puck he bought about 6 months ago. You would think something that expensive woulda been fixed by now. Also, I never did figure out if the latest Pens soaps are good now.
