Getting the real, clean leather smell back on leather sofa

In black . We would have liked the above colour but it does not wear as well as the black.

Sorry but you have no chance of replicating it.

Why?
TBH, I'd be happy with a very neutral smell

Haven't used it so can't comment!

Many thanks have been researching it, 50ml  at that price plus postage, was going to try but lacking reviews.
I will keep it in mind but i am reading it as an 'a freshener

There ARE reviews...scroll down their website.  I don't understand what you're trying to achieve, your sofas have lost that 'new leather' smell because they're not new.  A leather polish will smell of leather polish not leather.

I can only see 5 reviews and that is not good enough. Thanks for trying to help.

All leather goods , be it wallet, bag or saddles lose that new smell quite quickly and any treatment just smells of the treatment. Gers has it in one. Sorry.

The original leather smell comes from the chemicals used in the tanning process and always fade eventually. 

There are Leather Aroma sprays which are great to use and LeatherGuard protectors that contain the aroma so as you protect your leather (which should be done regularly) you will bring back that great smell
