No Safety Data Sheet on file.
CarCareTruth has not received a Safety Data Sheet from the manufacturer for this product, so no GHS hazard classification can be cited. The tiers below are cautious defaults — “Beyond SDS” — translated from the product’s ingredient chemistry and how comparable formulations classify, not from a manufacturer hazard classification. Request an SDS from the manufacturer before use.

Scope of these PPE tiers. The tiers on this page translate the product's Safety Data Sheet where one is published, plus its ingredient chemistry, into a comparable rating. They describe a formulation, not a situation: a tier is not a safety determination for any specific user, task, quantity, or environment. The manufacturer's label and use instructions govern how the product is handled. Where the product is used at work, the employer's PPE program and hazard assessment under 29 CFR 1910.132 decide what protection is selected, not this page.

TL;DR Fragrance masking only · no SDS was found for this product, so the chemistry can't be independently confirmed, and CarCareTruth rates it 5.0 (NO SDS) on health as a result. Buyers who want the specific leather-musk cabin scent will find the reception positive; buyers treating a real odor source should use an enzyme spray instead.
A pump spray in Chemical Guys' legacy AIR-series fragrance line, designed to deliver a musk-leather cabin scent. The brand describes it as "more than just an air freshener" and an "odor eliminator," but no Safety Data Sheet was found for this SKU (AIR_102), so the ingredient list can't be confirmed. Based on its product-line siblings and the absence of any enzyme, antimicrobial, or molecular-neutralization claim in the product marketing, the mechanism is fragrance masking · the leather scent replaces ambient cabin odors for a period, after which the underlying smell returns. Brand-site reviews are positive on scent quality, though the community track record is still thin. The 16 oz bottle is sold out on the Chemical Guys website as of mid-2026, though all sizes remain available on Amazon.
Owners who specifically want a leather-scent cabin fragrance · not just any freshener · are the right fit; the scent profile is distinct and community reception is positive. Skip it if you're treating an active odor source: fragrance masking won't address pet urine in carpet padding or embedded smoke in headliner fabric, where an enzyme spray applied directly to the source material is far more effective. If you're uncertain about chemistry transparency before spraying in an enclosed space you'll be sitting in, consider a product with a published SDS.
No Safety Data Sheet was located for Chemical Guys Leather Scent (AIR_102 / AIR_102_16) after an exhaustive search of the Chemical Guys SDS page, MSDS Digital, and commercial SDS databases. The health score of 5.0 with the NO SDS badge reflects this gap · not confirmed dangerous chemistry. The related New Car Smell formula (AIR_101, SDS rev. 2019) uses a water base with only H303 and H320 (both below GHS pictogram threshold), and the leather fragrance product is expected to be in a similar hazard tier, but this cannot be confirmed without a verified SDS. The SDS note on the product listing or ChemWatch may yield a document the brand site search missed · if found, health will be updated. PPE tiers shown are precautionary defaults only.
Almost certainly fragrance masking only. No SDS was located for this product (AIR_102), so the ingredient list cannot be confirmed · but the brand's product description ('freshens any space with the distinct musk of freshly-tanned fine leather') emphasizes scent delivery, not elimination. No enzyme, antimicrobial, or molecular-neutralization active is mentioned anywhere in the product marketing. The related AIR101 (New Car Smell) SDS confirms no odor-elimination active for that formula; by analogy, Leather Scent is the same product line with a different fragrance compound. For embedded biological odors (pet, smoke, mildew), an enzyme spray applied directly to the source material is a more effective choice.
The 5.0 score reflects a no-SDS floor, not confirmed dangerous chemistry. CarCareTruth's integrity rule treats any product without a publicly available Safety Data Sheet as unrateable · the health score defaults to 5.0 with a 'NO SDS' badge rather than estimating from analogous products. The AIR_102 Leather Scent SDS was not found on the Chemical Guys SDS page, MSDS Digital, or other commercial SDS databases as of 2026-05-18. If Chemical Guys publishes an SDS for this SKU, the health score will be updated.
Both are pump sprays in the same Chemical Guys AIR-series fragrance line (AIR_101 vs. AIR_102). New Car Smell has a published SDS (rev. 2019) confirming a water-based formula with H303/H320 only · a very mild hazard profile. Leather Scent is the same format and likely similar chemistry, but the SDS has not been located, so CarCareTruth cannot confirm. The scent is the primary differentiator: a musk-leather profile versus a showroom-fresh New Car profile. The 16 oz size and pump-trigger format are identical.
As of 2026-05-18, the 16 oz bottle was listed as sold out on the Chemical Guys website, but remains available on Amazon (ASIN B002J858HQ). The 4 oz (B00TDOGRW4) and 1 gallon (B003UVOQB0) variants are also sold on Amazon. 'Sold out on brand site' is common for older SKUs where Amazon handles fulfillment · this does not indicate the product has been discontinued.
