Review on Bed Stu Womens Orchid Nectar by Jeremy Carpenter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great bag, terrible smell

This bag is great, well made and exactly as advertised. It should smell like good leather it's made from, but there's one big problem - there's a horrible chemical smell in the cabin, it's really strong and unpleasant, almost drooling in a confined space. I put the bag wide open outside to hang under the outdoor gazebo and after 24 hours it still stinks of chemicals. I can't use it like this and hope the smell will go away soon. I have many leather bags, shoes and boots and they all smell like good leather. What is the chemical smell? UPDATE 2 days later - I put the Arm & Hammer odor absorber in an open bag that is still hanging open on the outside. The unpleasant odor has dissipated a bit, but it's still there. I'm hoping a few more days on the road will rid me of it completely. I've read a lot and it's probably a chemical used to treat the skin. But I just want to use a damn handbag that smells like real leather or doesn't smell at all!
