Ever notice the intoxicating aroma of leather in a Ferrari and wonder... 'Gee, Why doesn't NSX leather give off that brand new baseball glove aroma each time I get inside?' I have no idea why this is. Is it due to some kind of treatment the NSX leather gets? Thanks for the input.

Actually in Japan the scent is removed it must be a Japanese thing.They find the smell offensive.This is true as that was I heard online here once before when someone asked the same question.

Nothing offensive but I just think the Japanese are weird in this case.
I, for one, do love the great smell of leather. I guess it's sort of like an exotic smell and I love the scent of Porsche leather.

If you get Auto Magic Leather Conditioner you'll have that smell back.

If you go to www.griotsgarage.com they sell leather scent in a spray bottle. 2 sprays into the interior and the car will smell like leather for a week or two.

I wish my car had that strong leather smell. Get in a Lexus and it smells like a shoe store. Nice.
At least it doesn't smell like raw fish, though. Amazing what some people will eat...

I heard/read somewhere from a credible source that the smell of fresh leather can interfer with your mind (like women do) and degrade your level of "brain-performance" which in term can translate to worse driving ability...
A friend of mine had his worn NSX seats redone with Italian leather by a craftsman who I can only call a genious. What a beautiful job. The look, the feel, and oh, what a smell. Mama Mia, the Dolce Vida. I will definately do this when finances allow.
I LOVE the smell of the NSX's interior... I'm thinking it's from the leather but what do I know...
The only thing I like about Ferraris is the music the engine makes.

any products that I can buy straight from my local auto parts store that will get me the leather smell ??
In my experience Griot's leather spray does smell much like leather. Griptone in the UK makes a product designed to do just this - put the smell back into leather. Perhaps one of our British posters could report on this product?
