Getting rid of new leather suite smell

Hi
Bought a new leather suite (3+2) a few days ago and now my living room has that 'leathery' smell which i cannot seem to get rid off! Tried everything eg air fresheners, leaving windows open but hasn't made much difference. Obviously the smell will go away eventually but i want to know if i can do anything to speed up the process. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I thought the smell of new leather was meant to be a turn-on?

If you can bottle that smell and sell it on ebay you'd make a fortune! I'd buy it!

There are some very good leather aromas around, but this is always very subjective.Lots of knowledge about leather0
