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

This product is incredible for keeping your leather tack in GREAT condition.

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.)

Fast shipping, great product, the Rolls Royce of leather care products!! will order again from vendor

Ive been using this product for years. Started with the leather interior of my first British sports car. Now on to the light colors of my western saddles without worry of darkening. Love it.

Ease of yse

Keeps my saddles looking brand new

Great price too. The tin arrived a little mashed up though, they should package better.

This is the best leather balm for saddles! Ive been using it after every ride to help break in my new saddle. It also keeps it looking really nice. It does darken the color a bit (Im an artist so I notice these types of things more than others), but its not dramatic and I really like the look. The smell is also wonderful. Not overly oily, and soaks in really well. Highly recommended!

Ive been out of the saddle for close to 18 months - a combination of surgeries (shoulder repair, melanoma and heart) but I went back to riding about 4 weeks ago and could not believe how bad I was! No rhythm, no feel for it at all. Then my trainer got in my saddle to show me something and yelped ab out how slick the leather was! She couldnt sit the horse right. Carr & Day & Martin and JPC Equestrian saved the day! I ordered it, treated the saddle and I had a fantastic lesson on Buzz. I had been so focused on just staying in the saddle that I couldnt find any rhythm and wasnt having much fun. This product made my saddle ridable, again. The price is competitive and delivery is to my door. Thank you for taking the worry out of riding.
