Will I ever get tired of the smell?

Pretty much every time I start a new piece, I have a sniff of the leather... It's like the smell of frying bacon or onions - Irresistible :blush:

I have a cupboard in the house, with a louvre, slotted front, where I store my leather. Every time you pass, there's a whiff of leather. Nice.

I also really like the smell. I have often wondered what it is that creates the smell. When the process is started it is a rather icky smell, then it somehow transforms to what we like.

Mine is stored in a closed closet. That heavenly smell just lingers in there until you open the door, then you really get hooked. LOL

I dont think you can get tired of the smell of leather but when you get used to it you dont always notice it anymore :(

Same here, my small workshop now smells like an old sewing machine but when I open that storage closet woo hoo much more pleasant.

Yep, I am in the same boat a leather smell lover for sure!

I just smelled my leather coffee cup wrap I made when I did the dishes tonight. Do that all the time.

I don't think I would work with leather if it was stinky. Same with woodworking....maple, cedar, cocobolo all smell gorgeous when you cut them.

I have no particular like or dislike of the smell of leather, however, I have noticed that ladies like the smell of leather, so I have been trying to develop a Leather Cologne. Nothing else I do these days seems to help!!! Seriously, when I'm at craft shows that is the most heard remark, people will pick up a piece and sniff it and say, "I just love the smell of leather".

I get a similar thing from customers/browsers.

They come along, pick up a pouch, open it & have a sniff the put it back down!

Maybe I should charge for the usage.

Chief, If you can come up with a Leather Cologne that really smells like leather, I'm the first to buy!!
