How Effective Is Hot Dipping Veg Tan In Paraffin Or Bees Wax?

Dorado, I do not know if anyone makes a leather scent. To be technical, there is no such thing as a leather essential oil. Essential oils are extracted from plants, via maceration then extraction into alcohol and/or oil. I have heard it said that cod liver oil can help to recreate the smell of the original fat liquor, but I haven't been able to duplicate the smell. Maybe it's a question of how much, or maybe it's a question of which ingredients to mix for a leather treatment. Cold hard facts are hard to find regarding such recipes, as tanneries don't like to divulge their proprietary formulas.

Oh I know that much. I was just curious if there was a way to keep that smell for longer.

there are some 'tobacco flower' and tobacco leaf scents that are wonderful- very masculine, and I am positive that they are blended into the 'new leather' scent you see in some car products. Contact the company I linked above and ask them what they recommend to smell like new leather- they are great folks to work with.

note- these tobacco scents smell nothing like cigarettes, which surprised me.
