I'm another for Gliptone, it brings back the knap. And I love the smell, reminds me of when I was a kid and every car had leather interiors, shows my age!

Wheelers Traditional Leather Balm, contains Neatsfoot oil and pure beeswax!
I've been told by folks in the leather/tanning trade that this is the stuff..! I've used it for about 12 years on my leather computer chair, and it's as soft as a virgins kiss...!
Just my opinion
Cheers

My stock of Gliptone leather conditioner has been used up and I need to buy new one.
I was very satisfied with it, but sadly I cannot get it in Europe anymore, buying in UK is not really an option due to high customs costs that basically tripple the price.
Can anyone recommend another leather conditioner that is available for purchase in Europe. Or with what do you have a good experience.
I want to use a professional leather product, not some DIY variant as hand creme, etc.

I wouldn't bother with conditioner, unless you have an older car with uncoated leather. Easy test to check - put a drop of water onto the seat, if it beads then the leather is coated and a conditioner will simply moisturise your clothes 
The best care you can give to leather seats is regular cleaning, a sealant and keep them protected from UV rays as much as possible.

Leather conditioner will find its way through the coating if left to soak in. Most of the coating has cracked or even worn away in places by now, which helps the process for our cars.
I know this because I just did both of our cars with Leatherique. It's an oil you hand massage onto the seats and leave for a few hours, then top up as it soaks in. I topped mine up a few times over 24 hours on a hot weekend.
I did try Autoglym and my previous favourite Gliptone at first, but it was Leatherique that made the biggest difference to the feel and appearance.
