Hi, from my personal experience with the Cadillac Select premium lotion:
— it seems to work nicely to condition my leather bags—thus far, I have used it on Chanel bags (caviar and lambskin leathers in black, red colors) and LV empreinte leathers and now, the SC bag. The lotion was recommended to me by a Chanel SA.
(I personally did not have a good experience with Apple leather conditioner as it lifted the color off one of my leather bags).
—that said, Less is more, be gentle and always run a test patch first.
I just use a small dab of the Cadillac lotion onto a cotton cloth and very gently rub it onto the leather. The leather initially looks a little ‘shiny’ when the lotion is freshly applied but after the leather has absorbed it, there isn’t a dramatic ‘shine’ but rather, a little depth to the color. Hope thud makes sense.
—In regard to odor, there is a slight odor that is neither pleasant nor offensive but don’t let that dissuade you since the odor does not linger once the leather has absorbed the lotion.
