To not like my new sofa?

I love the smell of leather usually. It's leather but has a hideous smell. Very artificial and just disgusting, to the point that I can't be in the room. It's making me gag. I do have a sensitive sense of smell but not had this issue before.
Dp is furious and keeps shouting at me like I'm a child because he can't smell it and doesn't see the problem. We've tried blankets but the smell is coming through them.

I'm not making a fuss, or saying it has to go back, just that I can't be in the room till the smell has gone.

He sees this as me making a 'protest' and getting cross with me even though it was my money that bought them.

Anything I can do to get rid of the smell? I really don't even know how to describe it, it's not a leathery in any way. Confused

Our sofa was bought 2yrs ago from DFS, but it has a label saying Made In China stitched inside the main structure. It doesn't smell at all now and we like it very much.

Thanks for all the replies. I am hoping I get used to it or the smell goes soon.
I retreated to the bedroom!
