Removing Odor from Leather Jacket?

I recently bought a leather jacket and do not like the smell! I read somewhere, years ago, to place leather in a freezer for several days to remove odors. Have you ever heard of this and will it hurt the leather? I do recall putting a pair of new gloves in the freezer and forgot them and they were in there for weeks. It did take the odor away, but wasn't sure about a jacket.
