I've not used the Saphir stuff, but it's meant to be great; I think mine is just a pot of cobbler's cream I got from Timpsons.

Once upon a time, the cobbler’s cream from Timpsons was available in large tubs for staff. According to all the guys I know there it is no longer on the stock sheet to order. Gutting as it is magical. I have used it for years on lots of leather to good effect and little remorse. It goes a long way so a small pot will last.
Mum had a decades old dried up satchel that showed similar blooming. I believe that I used saddle soap, and then some Carr’s leather oil. It is sticky messy stuff so I’d definitely try with cobbler’s cream first, before trying Carr’s.

Hmm, then I'd maybe try rubbing in some leather conditioner and see if that did anything; if not, I might try saddle soap, then a treat with conditioner once dry.
