How to bring back the leather smell again?

Hey guys. I noticed that over the winter I kinda developed a damp smell from all the snow and moisture. How do I get rid of that smell and bring back the leather smell?? I love the smell of leather. I have the black leather seats in my 04 supercrew lariat.

Thanks!

Try out the fake leather smell stuff or buy a new truck. Or get the seats reapolstered.

Odds are that the musty odor is held within your carpet and such...

While cleaning the leather won't hurt anything, your problem probably lies beyond your lack of leather smell...

I thinking I might be the floor mats. I'll wash the floor mats this weekend and see if that helps.

make sure its new... otherwise it will smell like leather and horse!


But I am serious. Had an ex who was a "horse chick" She left her saddle in her car trunk for a week and her whole car smelled like leather for weeks after removing it.

Heck, at the time I left a leather jacket in her trunk with it to restore the smell in the jacket.
