How do I get the "thrift shop" smell out of an old purse?

Asked by sfgal (283points) February 23rd, 2009

A friend gave me a used leather purse and it has that thrift-shop smell (old-fashioned perfume mixed with a musty smell). The purse had a receipt in it from two decades ago so whoever wore it last must have had really strong perfume. Is there any way to get the smell out? It’s a cool purse and I’d love to wear it if it weren’t for the smell.
