I have never tried Zaino leather in a bottle, Actually its one of a few of there products that i have not tried. One thing i do know is that it will smell better then lexol. But i used lexol for 4 years on my camaros leather seats. (These seats are notorious for cracking) Some stress marks were on my seat but NO cracking. Just food for thought, Dont worry about the smell, if it bothers you that much get an air freshener , but it goes away in a couple hours anyways.
