Any way to salvage this OEM strap?

So I bought a pre-owned PAM 48. From the pics I saw before I bought it, it appeared pretty beat up. Assumed that I would need to replace the strap and send it off for a polish and service as soon as it arrived. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the case was dirty but in surprisingly good condition. The OEM gator strap, while looking worn, had a nice slightly vintage look to it. Figured the strap, which wouldn't be my primary strap, would definitely get some use from me. So I cleaned the case and I was good to go. However, I noticed that there was a very strong smell of cologne on the strap. I made the bad decision last night to try to clean the strap and, I'm afraid, ruined it in the process. Started with some leather cleaner that came with my wife's purse. Didn't seem to do the trick. Then used a very mild soap and water. Then put some of the leather conditioner that came with the purse on it. Thought the strap looked completely ruined but hoped that it would dry out over night and return to good condition in the morning. Here's what I found this morning.

So is there any way to salvage this strap??? Any magic conditioner I can soak this thing in for a week straight? Anything??? If not, it's not the end of the world. Had planned on replacing the strap when I bought it and priced it accordingly. However, it still would suck to know that I ruined an otherwise acceptable OEM gator strap. Thanks.
