Permanent ID: smellbook: · updated 2026-10-06, revision 5
Character EDITORIAL
A freshly cleaned room smells clean, fresh and airy, with a light, sharp note from cleaning products.
Words: clean, fresh, airy. Families: Fresh and clean.
States: fresh (EDITORIAL). A state says how an entry is met, such as wet, aged or roasted. It does not create a new smell, and it adds no scientific fact by itself: states marked EDITORIAL come from the entry's own records, and only those marked VERIFIED are reported by a VERIFIED claim.
Met in: Hotel, Office.

Molecules named in these claims: dihydromyrcenol, linalool, linalyl acetate, terpinolene, α-terpinene, α-terpineol. A molecule listed here is named in a VERIFIED claim about this smell. It is not presented as the cause of the smell; each claim says what its source supports.
