I would think that the coconut smell would be unpleasant. Have you tried refined filtered emu oil?
ooohhh, right! i think coconut oil will smell unpleasant too on leather. why didn't i think about that? yes katev, i already asked my sister to send me filtered emu oil and it will arrive this december/january. as for the moment, i'm looking for other substitute leather conditioners aside from apple and lexol. thanks for all the advice and input katev. blessings.
