Is there any way to remove old perfume from a handbag. Smells like the perfume was inside the fabric lining and then worked its way into the leather. I've washed the lining several times with soap and water and it has had no effect on the smell. I've also tried various spray odor eliminators, Atmosclear, Nature's Way Pet spray, activated charcoal, baking soda and nothing has diminished the rancid perfume smell.
On another bag there is an odor I've smelled on many vintage handbags and also on luggage. It isn't moldy or musty, it's a strange odor in the leather like maybe the bag has been stored without proper air circulation or dust protection. Any solution for these problems?
