most have leather scent added ... I prefer LeatherMasters for a natural and clean scent with no heavy afterscent. 1Z Einszett Leathercare is designed for coated leather and has a nice leather scent.

Zaino Z9 & Z10! I don't use their products on my cars finish, but their leather combo is fantastic and leaves a great smell behind. I even use it a couple of times a year on the leather couch in my family room.

It always makes me smile when someone asks how they can attain that ‘new leather smell’.

While in college I had a summer job at the Connolly Hide Factory, before I returned to school I burned my work clothes because of the ‘new leather smell’

FWIW: urathane finished leather, as used in the Corvette does not require conditioning
