Lexol smells like a manure pile anyway. I doubt that would help.
Go to that 24hr Mega Wally World and get some Tanner's Preserve leather treatment. Buy both parts and use them. It smells better. Go heavy on the cleaner with plenty of water and soap. Nice for your best leather outerwear as well (very subdued smell but very nice). Sometimes leather gets a weird smell and the worst part is that your own perspiration, however minor, draws the smell into your clothes from the seating surfaces.
If you can't find Tanner's Preserve, the shoe care dept. always has Kiwi saddle soap. Forget what the old curmudgeons will say in response to this, you CAN use it, just re-treat the leather with something that introduces more moisture at a later date. It works and it smells fantastic. I've used it on a whole heap of cars, Volvo, Lexus, Toyota, Ford, to name a few. Works nice on vinyl too and removes filth that you thought would never come out. Also 245 headliners. Then later you can pick up some better leather treatment for the long run that restores some of the moisture.
Next, find out if the carpets are wet anywhere. The floor pans can hold moisture and that utterly reeks. If so? Wet vac, then Blue Coral Dri-Clean (sp?), scrub, and wet vac again.
Last, use the A/C as much as possible at night before parking the car, until it is too cold for that. The dryness stays overnight and keeps the car smelling really fresh. Humid weather makes it worse. So do wet floormats.
