I have no basis for comparison when it comes to leather care but I gave this product five stars because it blew out saddle soap while restoring my vintage wallets! I live in a saltwater bay in the tropics and the humid air makes mold grow everywhere. My wallets were broken. I didn't want to part with them so I followed an online tutorial on how to salvage them and BOY did a great job restoring elasticity to the bags I cleaned and restored. I have many more bags, but so far I'm very satisfied. It is easy to use and has no unpleasant odor.
