Default Need a recommendation for leather/new truck scent

I've been using the Febreeze new car scent air freshener but want to try and get the original leather smell back in my truck. I really like that smell and kinda miss it. Is there a leather scent out there that works? Thanks.

Might want to do yourself a favor and condition the leather while you return the scent.

I've not used it yet, but have a bottle on the way!

Thanks looks like I'll have to try some of that when my current condition is gone. Anyone know of anything that'll work between cleanings?

Unless you have king ranch style seats you can't "condition" them. You have top coated leather it only needs cleaning and protection. I suggest Leathermaster protection cream every few months depending upon your environmnet.

As for leather smell, most of the time top coated leathers are just off gassing VOC type smells that most equate to "leather". Its best when they are gone for top coated leathers.

Cheers,
GREG

There are many "leather" scents on the market. My favorite that's actually appealing and has a natural smell is Poorboy's World Air Freshener - Leather.
