An old home-made recipe for cork grease was beeswax and tallow melted and mixed together in the same pan, then poured into tins and left to cool down to form a thick, heavy cork grease.
You could probably add some drops of lavender oil or another scented oil to make it smell more pleasant than rancid old lamb fat. I just read on La Tromba's site they have a synthetic cork grease that's "similar to the traditional deer suet, but not subject to any ageing process".

Probably fairly similar to mink oil being that it's a sebaceous secretion is lanolin - I know of a trumpet player who uses lanolin on his slides.
