    Reasoning

    Faithfully captures the viral TikTok trend and view count, accurately describes limonene's role, but slightly expands scope by mentioning 'fragrances' (not in source) and is 26 words as required; passes all criteria with minor interpretive addition.

    Reasoning

    The explanation is well-grounded in the search results (the 9.7M view figure and orange peel cleaner virality are directly cited from result #3), remains concise and focused without filler, and logically connects the TikTok trend to Wikipedia interest, though it makes a minor inferential leap by assuming viewers seek out the Wikipedia article rather than stating this is directly evidenced.
