OMG please let me know if you find one with the smell you just described. I got the lexxol spray stuff this weekend an it didnt have the smell. My friends audi S4 smells amazing and ive been looking for something that smells like that for a while now.
The Tropi-Care leather/vinyl cleaner and then the Conditioner is the stuff I strictly stick to. Cleans everything fantastically well and the Conditioner has the new car leather smell. Not overberaring, but very nice.
Oh and a quick tip on applying leather conditioner. DON'T USE A TOWEL! You lose a ton of product in the towel that will never see the leather. Apply the conditioner directly to the leather or on your hands and rub in with your hands. That utilizes all of the conditioner and you can massage it in very well also. That trick will save you a lot of product and will ensure good looking and feeling seats for a long time to come.

I have never found anything that gives the car that new car smell, other than the new smell that it still has 
I ran across this a while back and decided to post it for you, I just thought it was simple info.

EDIT: Also, the Z-9 Leather Soft Spray Cleaner does a good job at cleaning leather while the Z-10 Leather in a Bottle treats and Conditions. Both are great!
