Need some leather help

The leather in my TL is terrible. Its cracking and peeling with only 27k miles. Anyone know any good products? And part two of this question is I need some leather cleaner that smells nice like leather. I know Steven has suggested Zaino but anything else? I have used Meguairs and its terrible. Smells really bad and gives you a headache and makes you slide around. Can you get get Zaino at local stores?

After a lot of reading myself, most to all OEM leathers have a treated urethane coating, meaning they really dont need conditioning or rejuvination. As far as product recommendations go for scent alone, I heard Mothers VLR and Leather Masters both produce decent smells.
