Why does a new pair of benchmade shoes smell so incredible? It's better than new car smell. Discuss.

Full grain leather that are made using vegetable tanins are made from aromatic barks such as chestnut and oak. 95% of the leather seats in cars are not made from vegetable tanned leather.

That's the smell of nature or at least natural ingredients which many people don't smell very often anymore in our times. How sad. But maybe a good reason to try natural smells and tastes also in other areas
