This fragrance is earthy & perfect to add to kentucky bourbon for a Jazz club candle
Love it!
As a maker, I’m extremely pleased with the quality and accuracy of this Leather fragrance oil. It delivers a warm, authentic leather profile with no synthetic or chemical undertones, and it holds up beautifully in finished products. This scent fits perfectly within my rustic Appalachian‑inspired line, and it has already become a staple in my fragrance collection. Highly recommended for anyone needing a true leather note.
I purchased this specifically for car diffusers, and it smells so luxurious! So much better than your average "leather" big box store air fresheners. Customers LOVE it, along with the unhinged name I gave the fragrance on my labels 🙃
Smells exactly like leather. Wouldn’t use it solo, but it’s great for blending. Also, very strong so don’t need much.
Great scent. Quick shipping too… We ordered some scents from another place almost 2 weeks before we ordered from Midwest Fragrance and these got here before the other place. We will be buying our supplies from here.
Its shocking how much this smells like actual leather; not “new car scent” but like walking into a factory where leather coats are made. If you want leather- look no further, this is your jam.
It’s real close just needs a bit more boldness to new car leather maybe they can adjust it closer to Yankee Candle jar leather scent to be 100% on the mark
the perfect leather fragrance. Some people suggesting is smells like a tack room in a candle
I don't often buy oils because some smell very fake, but yours are just amazingly beautiful!
Absolutely love this fragrance. It's a staple in my custom scents and plays well to ground all the other FO I use to create my signature blends! I use so much of it, I'll have to start buying in bulk lol a true leather scent!
This oil will make a very nice bass note in my perfumes.
I paired this leather scent with strawberry. It is amazing! I like how this leather scent smells.
Second time we bought the leather scent. The first bottle and second bottle smell like 2 different products. Unfortunately, we are looking for a scent for our product line and inconsistent scents won’t work for us.
Strong chemical smell with no depth. Accelerated like crazy and riced in my cold process soap.
I am new to the beautiful "Candle World" and love it, even though I haven't launched it yet. I am reviewing this product because I have ordered this fragrance from 2 other fragrance companies & this one stopped me in my tracks. The first thing you smell is strong creamy leather right out of the bottle not sweet cream it just smells creamy. I made 1 candle with this fragrance with Coco Olive Oil Lux Wax. Not sure how I pulled a perfect burn right out of the gate as I am so new, but I also added other fragrances as well to achieve the desired scent I was looking for. I could smell a prominent leather which is what I was looking for as it lets you know throughout the burn that hay, I am here to stay. This blend is remarkable, and this “Leather" did its job and played very well with others. I used wood wicks that helped set the tone for what I was going for. I ordered another 2 lbs as I can see it used in various blends because it does play well. If you have not tried it do yourself a favor and at least try a sample.
I will be ordering other samples from other companies for my studies, but this is a keeper for sure. "Let's enjoy our Journey Maker's" with all the twists and turns. Phihalate-Free - Vanillin 0% - Ethyl Vanillin free & works in other products as well.
I love this fragrance. When you purchase FO like leather, sandalwood, etc. you take the chance it doesn't smell like the real thing. NOT this leather, Midwest never disappoints. This smells so much like leather I am going to included in my regular line. The cold throw is great.
Smells great out of the bottle. A true leather sent..
Smells amazing in soap
This is a top favorite of mine and smells like a pair of well worn leather boots.
My customers love this leather! I mix it with strawberry and it’s a customer favorite!!
I LOVE this leather and so do my customers! I tried 3 other leather scents before finding this one and it’s exactly what I was looking for! It is a true authentic leather smell! I use it in my Body Lotion and Body Wash/Hand Soap. I introduced this scent just a few months ago and at my fall and Christmas shows so far, it has been a major hit and many re-orders already! It’s definitely earned a spot in my men’s collection (even though women like it, too). I’m so glad I found it. I have already reordered and will again!
Smells amazing
I mix this with everything from bourbon butterscotch to sweet strawberry. It’s long lasting and strong in cp soap. It can move quickly with some fragrances!
My customers love this smell and I always run out.
Smells just like saddle bags or my grandpas tack room! I love it! And it seems to last longer than others I have purchased.
Out of bottle it smells a bit tarry. I made one soap bar to try it out, just a few drops and the scent is spot on leather! I had the soap in my non leather bag and everytime I opened my bag it smelled like a real leather bag!
I love a good leather. I have tried many. But this one is THE ONE. It is amazing watching my customers smell it for the first time. They are shocked! It really smells like you are standing in the middle of a genuine leather store.
I have searched far and wide for the perfect leather scent and have finally found it!! Thank you!!!
Was looking for a good leather scent for freshies and this one was spot on, ordered a bigger bottle after trying out the 2 oz bottle, highly recommended.
A good leather scent

The recommended fragrance load can vary depending on your project, but here’s a good starting point: for candles, we suggest 6–10% of your total wax weight, depending on your wax type and personal preference. For soaps, always checkIFRA usage rates to ensure your oils are skin-safe and used at the right level. When in doubt, start small and adjust until you find your perfect balance!
