Where the evidence names it

Freshly Cleaned Room

Reported volatile · the claim says “raised one-hour air concentrations of terpenoids such as”

In a ventilated 50 m³ test room, full-strength use of a pine-oil cleaner raised one-hour air concentrations of terpenoids such as d-limonene, terpinolene, α-terpinene and α-terpineol, and air fresheners emitted d-limonene, dihydromyrcenol, linalool, linalyl acetate and β-citronellol; diluted cleaning released a much smaller share.

Scope: Five cleaning products and air fresheners used in one test room; it measures emissions, not how a cleaned room is perceived. CLM-CLEANING-001 ↗

WHAT THIS MEANS

SmellBook lists a molecule only where a VERIFIED claim names it, in the role and scope that claim states. A molecule reported in a smell's evidence is not the whole smell: most smells come from many compounds together, and the studies measured particular samples, such as one cultivar, an essential oil or a cooked product.
