thank you for your anwser, Ill probably try to resell it or give it away regardless of what it is because I simply dont want my shoes smelling like this 😂 it was cheaper than most neatsfoot oil... (30 bucks a liter whereas other oils were between 40 and 55), so I guess it was adultered with something... it does WORK very well though, perhaps a little bit better than the other oils, but the stench overcomes that fact. I tried it on my meast favourite pair of boots and the stench didnt go away (yet anyway) I guess Ill try to use another strong scented product to mask the smell like some shoe-wax or something

Hi, I recently bought two cans of oil advertised as pure neatsfoot oil. However, I have worked with neatsfoot oil from other brands before and this one seems different in multiple ways. I had used starwax neatsfoot oil, wich was nearly odorless, and stayed liquid even at about 10 degrees celcius, and saphir brand, wich had a bit of a smell but not a suspicious one and remained liquid too. The oil I just bought is supposedly from a brand called P.Paulin, and not only does it have a very strong rancid smell, it does not stay liquid under Id say 20 degrees celcius. It is also cloudy while the other brands were transparent. is this normal? is it just a different neatsfoot oil? or is it neatsfoot oil mixed with a great deal of tallow and such greases? I dare not use it on any piece of leather, or even to lube machinery because of this horrid stench. did I get scammed? or did I just observe non-industrial neatsfoot oil for the first time?
