Carr & Day & Martin 500ml Belvoir Leather Balsam Intensive Conditioner

LOVE this stuff! Ive had one jar (as I only have one horse/saddle) and have had it for years. Its hard not to overuse b/c its softens and conditions so nicely. Ive limited my use now to twice a year and my dressage saddle is soft like budda! :)

I bought it for my natural leather sofa but has non-organic grease in it and smells little bit yucky. It works good with all leather items.

Excellent product with an amazing price -this was exactly what I wanted and for the price I wanted to pay - win win all around

Has an interesting smell to it but it works great and the smell goes away after a day or so.

Great for all your leather conditioning needs. Lasts a long time as well!

Simple clean smell, easy to use, will not dry out leather.

I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this and got the impression that people were divided about the aroma. The same thing is true of Effax Lederbalsam, and I love the beeswax-lanolin smell of that one, so I thought I might like the smell of Belvoir too. Not so! It is intensely floral, like some weird perfume, and I spent a long time trying to figure out whether the flower it reminded me of was ilac or lily of the valley. I made my mom smell it and she thought lily of the valley. Mind you, I love the smell of *actual* lilacs and lily of the valley flowers, but I wasnt crazy about that smell in a leather conditioner. I gave it to my mom and I think Ill either stick with the Effax or make my own. (My only complaint about Effax Lederbalsam, which is in all other respects wonderful, is that eventually the smell can can go a bit rancid, probably because they use avocado oil, which has a short shelf-life. I was thinking of making my own lederbalsam out of beeswax, lanolin, and jojoba oil, which should be shelf stable.)

Obsessed with this conditioner. It smells amazing and fixed old tack beautifully.

My saddles havent had conditioner in over 2 years. With the first coat of this, I could tell an instant difference. After 2 coats, they looked completely back to life again. (They are kept in the AC but were still quite dry.) Yes, there is a perfumey smell that I can see could affect someone but it did not bother me. And, a little goes a long way with the product, so thats always nice. I read reviews and decided to use this and I couldnt be more pleased. I would definitely recommend.
