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

Keeps my saddles looking brand new

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.)

Ive used a lot of different leather products over the years on my horse tack. This is the one I like best. It keeps the leather supple. Make sure you buy from someone in the USA, as I first ordered this from a seller in the UK and it never arrived.

Smells amazing...I use it on all of my leather goods.

I love this leather balsam for my saddle and other tack. It keeps the leather supple and soft. It helps to protect the leather in rainy or snowy weather.

Beast tack cleaner I’ve ever used!! Smells wonderful and gets my tack super nice and clean. I definitely recommend it!

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