Black Full Merino Leather Care - Recommendation?

What would you guys recommend as a good leather care product for black full merino leather?

My idea of a good product
1) Simple application - preferred one step (wipe on), or two step (wipe on/wipe off) - without having to use a product that requires multiple chemicals
2) Lasts a long time - I know some people are all about cleaning their car every week, or month - that's not my idea of fun/relaxation. I want something that I can apply, if possible every 3 or 6 months - knowing it will protect the leather
3) Keep that leather smell

Recommendations?

Leather masters products are incredible...but also heard good things about swissvax. Tried the chemical guys stuff a couple of years ago and won't make that mistake again.

I'm currently using Griot's Garage Leather Care and I think it's wonderful for the price. Of course the leather in my car is pretty brand new, this product is meant for worn leather but it's great with brand new leather too.

It's a 2-step process, wipe on and wipe off. The smell it leaves behind is top notch though, for the next couple of weeks it'll be like your car came right off the show room floor.
