I have noticed a couple posts lately that have talked about the yummy smell of a leather bag and I was just wondering..... do most of you notice the smell of your leather bags? I LOVE the smell of leather but I cant really smell my leather bags. I just bought a new E/W duffle in leather from the boutique and the smell is very faint (I can only smell it if I stick my nose directly on or in the bag) :sad:. I dont know if I have just gotten immune to the smell or if its just not real prominent any more. When I first started buying leather bags years ago I noticed the smell very strongly, especially in an enclosed car or other small space but the last couple years it seems like the smell is very faint. I want to be able to smell that yummy leather without sticking my nose on it :rolleyes:

I've noticed that some of my bags smell and others don't. My "smelliest" bag is my whiskey shoulder bag. What's funny is my pond shoulder has almost no scent whatsoever. I have no idea why . . .

I bought it at an outlet in Puerto Rico about 4 years ago. I LOVE its smell.

I haven't noticed the smell. I don't really sniff my bags either haha. I do notice the smell in the stores. Perhaps it is the type of leather, how much of it and if it's confined to a small space. First thing I think of is the leather in a new car. a whole lot of leather in a small space.

I LOVE the smell of my legacy leather bags. I'm always smelling them. My whiskey and black shoulder bags smell the most, but, like willowsmom, my pond shoulder bag barely smells at all. Odd. But it's good to know that I'm not the only one smelling my leather bag. :wlae: I just LOVE the smell! :supacool:

:yes: I agree with everyone, that my Pond doesn't really have too much of a smell... But OH, it FEELS lovely.... it is smoothly up very nicely....

Bbags on the other hand...... the smell makes me :drool: :drool: :drool: ...

I haven't notice as much of a leather smell on my Coach leather ones, I take that back - except my whiskey Mia, which has a bit of a leather scent to it... Maybe it depends on type of leather & dye??

I don't know what kind of finishes have the strongest smell, but I used to work in a Wilson's leather (ages ago in college) and after a while I couldn't smell it at all, even when I entered the store. So it isn't likely to happen just from owning leather bags, but a person can become immune to the odor!
