I prefer either the Duragloss or Four Star Leather twins.....
Keep in mind, leather has no real scent, other then it really really stinks after processing. What your smelling is a man made chemical. If you want sustained leather scent, buy a leather scented air stinker upper, and buy the leather cleaner/conditioners which you can afford...............

+1 on the Zaino as well! That stuff is GREAT! That is all that I use in my 07 TSX, and after a year and a half, EVERYONE still asks me (including a body shop owner) how I keep that new leather scent. It's the Zaino, baby!
In addition, the Zaino is easy to work with. It doesn't leave a greasy look/feel, and it doesn't get into the holes in the center perforated leather portion of the seat. I would highly recommend this stuff!

1. A base material (metal) with a colour coat of water-based polymer paint

2. A water-based polymer clear coat to provide protection
[Water-based polyethylene clear coating to provide protection]
3. Paint doesn’t need oils to feed it (whatever Zymol says) nor does leather; neither is a living thing.
[Leather was removed from a dead animal, it’s then fat-liquored to preserve its oils and then sealed, and it doesn’t need oils or creams to feed or condition it, even if they could permeate the various coverings]
4. The key to leather car; keeping leather (a) hydrated (b) clean, as dirt / grit and subsequent friction cause the finish to wear. A leather protection product is essential as it will protect the surface finish and makes dirt easier to clean off.
For many, finding the best leather care product is as simple as using what is the most popular. While popularity can sometimes be a reliable barometer, it isn’t always the correct choice. Some even make their decision based on new car’s leather fragrance alone.
My best advise; research other options and products, test them and then make an objective decision based upon factual information not hype or brand loyalty. After all, how can you fully understand and properly use any product unless you have all the facts? I would also strongly suggest that you verify any information that I or anyone else shares with you.
