01The moment
Peel becomes especially noticeable when it is cut, twisted or handled. The event is brief, directional and easy to recognize.
Why it travels
Citrus language often moves beyond food into cleaning, fragrance and atmosphere because the smell can signal brightness and lift.
Keep the contexts separate
Those uses are related through perception, but SmellBook keeps food, cleaning and fragrance contexts distinct.
