having a all leather interior to my Boxster i really like the smell as well as the look but i' m finding that it has now disappeared. zymol leather treatment is great for the look and condition of the leather but dosn' t smell all that great.is there any product on the market to replace that leather smell.

I don' t want anything dangling from my rear view mirror.

I have used both their scuff correction sytem (on my half leather seats, and a leather jacket), and also their 2 stage leather cleaner, both of which work very well (when your seats are original, and 18 years old, scuffs can be a problem).

This cleaner, more to the point, does leave a leather smell for some time afterwards.

As usual, no money has changed hands for this ' advert' !

What sort of results do you get on the scuff corrector? I have managed to scuff the leather on one of my doors - hazards of a daily driver I guess.

The scuff bit involves mixing a base liquid with a lighter/darker shade (my seats are sort of navy, so I bought a dark blue kit), and a matt/gloss finish, to end up with something that matches the leather. This takes 5/10 minutes, depending; I was lucky in that the base colour is almost the same as the leather colour.
Then I applied the stain as instructed, and now you can just see where the touch-up was done, if the light falls in the right direction. I did this a few years back - the seat had water damage as well as scuff marks from me sliding over the bolster - and I doubt whether anyone would notice it even now, unless I pointed it out.

The matching leather cleaner/restorer has taken off very small amounts of the stain - just the excess it seems, but the results are still good. And, as the cleaner ' fills in' the creases (it really appears to !), and generally smooths out any small stained areas, all is still looking good.

Going back to the leather smell bit, my leather jacket still smells of leather as a result of the cleaning a month or so ago, so it does last - mind you, the sight of me smelling the jacket in the cupboard just now might have seemed a bit strange !

Gosh, I can be a bit verbose at times, but I hope that this helps.
 
Forgot to say that Race Glaze do a product that brings back the leather smell. I' ll check the bottle tonight to see what it' s called.
