I had one of those fake brown leather cases with a palm tree embossed on it a couple years ago. When you opened it smelled like someone had spilled a whole bottle of lemon oil in it. A little lemon smell is not bad, a lot is overpowering. I had that case for months and the smell never left it. That case is long gone, but I got another new-to-me uke that came with a fake brown leather case with a palm tree embossed on it, and I’ll be darned it doesn’t smell like someone had spilled a whole bottle of lemon oil in it. I left it open and it stunk up my whole office.
I figure 1 case like that is just bad luck, but 2 like that and this must be a 'feature' of fake brown leather cases with a palm tree embossed on it. (They were 2 different sizes so I am sure the original did not resurface.)
Do you have a case like this?
How did you get rid of the smell?
