Groit's Garage used to have a leather sent spray but they too seem to have discontinued it.

I buy/use this product when I'm in UK LTT Leather Aroma - http://www.lttleathercare.net/product.asp?product=12

PS: If my wife smelled the sent of a stripper in my car she'd kill me
Is this the one you're talking about. Scent spray....not the stripper.

C300
I've been using Griot's leather scent in my C300, wife's X-Type and my 2001 vette. The smell lasts about a week or two. Guy on the Corvette forum recommended spraying on a clean cloths and place under the seats. I tried it on my C300 and it lasts almost 3 weeks. The Griot's leather scent is the closest thing to real leather scent that i could find.

If anyone knows of a better product, please let us know.

The best, most realistic....

scent that I have found is from the Griot's Rejuvenator. It's sort of messy to use, but if you will let it sit up for a day or so, then polish it down, works great and the scent is terrific, especiallly in a slightly older car (vs a brand new one)....

I'll have to check out that product. The product I am using only leaves a leather scent. It does nothing to protect or treat the leather.

Thanks for the tip.

I have the new car and leather wafers. They both do a good job. I put the new car in my S600, I don't know if it is because I haven't driven the car in a week; but I smelled the inside tonight and the new car smell is still going strong. It seems to get more pleasant as time goes on than from when I placed it under the seat 1 week ago.
