Griot's Garage 11150 Leather Scent 4oz

UPDATED - 1-19-23I was randomly on Griots website looking at some other stuff and I happened to look further into this. They recommended soaking a small sponge with this product and placing it under a seat. I decided to try it out and now the scent is lasting an appropriate amount of time and it's strong enough to notice (in a good way). Given the discovery I changed my review to 5 stars because this scent is so accurate and using the soaked sponge technique has lasted at least a full week now. I cut off a square from a buffing pad that was pretty used up and it worked perfectly. I think a piece of a kitchen sponge would work just as well. I hope this tip helps someone frustrated with the endurance of the scent when just sprayed on/under the floor mats. This stuff really smells like a new leather interior car.Original Review -I thought this stuff was the most accurate "new leather interior" scent I've ever come across. It truly smelled just like my car did when I took it from the showroom floor. UNFORTUNATELY the scent literally doesn't last a full day. I liberally sprayed under and on top of my floor mats and by the next morning the scent was completely dissipated. To be fair I tried it again that following day and by the next day the scent was completely gone. I even had a buddy jump in and give me his opinion in case I had just gotten used to the smell. He couldn't detect anything. I returned it and was disappointed in doing so because it did smell great, but if I can't get 24hrs of smell good from it then there's no point to using it. Griots really doesn't do anything wrong but I understand why this is an "under the radar" product now.

If you’re like me, I was wondering what exactly does this smell like and how does this compare to other leather car scents such as chemical guyz....Most all of them smell like leather. But leather has many smells. There’s new sneakers leather, theres leather jacket or purse and there’s leather interior of a car. Chemical guys to me smells like brand new shoes. It’s stereotypical leather smell as in it smells common. When u smell it u immediately thinks of brand new shoes.Griots literally smells like a new car. While it smells like leather seats it Has very faint notes of thats newness of a car cars smell. Perhaps. Hint of plastic alongside new carpet...all things new combined into this scent with the smell of leather taking the leading high note. I absolutely love it. It makes me feel like my car is brand new.

This artificial leather scent smells very nice, I use it in my convertible to get rid of street odors (smoke basically), but, it doesn’t last more than 2 days and then I have to spray it several times again, so the little bottle doesn’t last either, which means, more $$

It actually works for me. What I did was attach a household sponge to the front of the front seats of my Subaru Outback. They are hidden but aren't covered so air can waft around them. After applying Griot's Leather Scent to the sponges over a period of time. About every week or so. They become saturated. When they begin to dry out the scent becomes quite convincing. It seems to work better when the weather is at a certain humidity and tempter. Not sure if that's true but some days it smells amazing and other days I can't smell anything at all. The key is for the sponges to be dry but saturated. I don't think the scent will cover up bad smells like cigarette smoke or a dirty car. I get lot's of compliments and it even fools me sometimes. Even when it's freshly applied it has a pleasant scent. Nothing like the other "new car scents" that smell like cheap boys cologne.

I love the scent of the spray. Smells so good but it doesn’t last very long which is disappointing for the price

I’ve purchased numerous products that claim to have that new car/leather scent only to be disappointed time and time again. The smell of a new car is very specific and Griot’s freaking nailed it! It literally smells like the off gassing of plastic/vinyl in a brand new car with a strong, leathery background without added perfumes or vanilla notes. I like to spray a little on my back seat so the scent can be absorbed by the fabric which, I believe, makes the scent last longer. It may be expensive but it’s the best of the best!

I bought this based on the positive reviews. Boy am I disappointed. Some reviews claimed 2 sprays or more was over powering and lasted a long time with a great leather smell. Some had to even open the windows because 2 sprays was too overpowering.Well I guess I received a bad batch of this stuff. I have two corvettes and a mazda 6 with leather. I sprayed each car with only 1 spray shot under the seats. Next day couldn't smell a thing. Sprayed each car with 2 sprays and this time under each seat. Next day couldn't smell a thing. (Those pine tree hanging things you buy at Walmart can last weeks for 1.99.)Next I sprayed 3 -4 sprays under each seat and more on the rugs. The two corvettes should have been so overwhelmed with leather smell that you would think you were in a leather store. No such luck. Figured maybe it was me. Went out that night with my girlfriend and I figured she is going to say how nice and new the Mazda smelled. NOTHING. I got nothing. That was all the proof I needed. This stuff I'm sorry to say does not work.Have to give this a thumbs down.

Another great product by Griot's Garage and now it's available through Amazon so I don't have to come up with minimum orders for shipping. Smells like real leather.
