I have not tried many soaps and my current one is MWF.This is a great soap but lacks a scent which would make me say Wow and wake me up! Also, i dont have a great sense of smell . What soaps which perform well have a strong scent which linger during the shave ?
 
I fell in love with Barrister and Mann's Cologne Russe. Very nice cologne scent, very strong and it is kept when lathering and shaving. Highly recommended. Also Fitjar Fjellheim has a strong pine/frosty/mentholated scent which lasts the whole shave

I have a sample of that and it is indeed a fantastic soap, but IMO the scent is not overly powerful. Now their Lavanille is another story. WOW!!
 
Wickham, OSP, Phoenix & Beau (generally), Stirling. Of these, Stirling is certainly the most diverse, scent-wise, but that comes with some soaps housing less fragrance than others.
 
I'm surprised to see OSP mentioned so much, the one I had had very little scent to it and I PIFed it. The recipient agreed that the scent was extremely mild.
I guess it depends on which one. The Barbershop I tried was mild, but Fougere and Bay Rum are respectable, with Bay Rum being pretty strong imo. As @Rohleder attests, Shogun is meant to be 'beefy' scent-wise... I'm tempted to try it but am on a buying ban currently :p Self-imposed, I might add..
Edit: the OSP cream has sold, thank goodness... I was beginning to crumble :p

Shogun is the strongest cream/soap I've had... B&M Seville/Lavanille previously occupied that spot. I would advise trying to get a sample of it before buying a whole tub as it irritated my skin like nothing else and know of two others who had the same unfortunate reaction, I was gutted as it was probably the best cream I've ever used performance wise.
