If you love tangerines for their bright sweetness and easy-to-peel charm, you’re already enjoying half the magic. But what if the real
treasure isn’t the fruit—but the peel?
Far from mere kitchen waste, tangerine peels are a powerhouse of natural fragrance and practical utility. Before you toss them in the
compost or trash, consider giving them a second life where they can work quietly—and beautifully—for you.

That faintly musty smell that lingers after days of closed windows? The ghost of last night’s garlic-heavy dinner? Instead of reaching
for synthetic sprays or plug-in diffusers, try this: lay a few tangerine peels on your sunlit windowsill.
Rich in volatile citrus oils, the peels release a clean, uplifting aroma as they dry. A gentle breeze carries that scent through your home,
turning stale air into something fresh and invigorating. For an even stronger effect, place peels near a radiator or heating vent—the
warmth coaxes out more essential oils, filling your space with a subtle, spa-like ambiance.
