The Smell Of Leather...

[humperdingle]

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

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 like the smell of leather too...I doubt if you'll ever get tired of the smell!

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.
