FWIW - and I am _hardly_ a theological expert - the lulav and etrog are symbolic objects but not really holy ones. Judaism is not big in general on "holy objects," as pretty much anything that is a "holy object" gets uncomfortably close to idolatry and idolatry is very much prohibited. I guess a Torah is a holy object. Anyhow... the etrog is really particularly fragrant, it smells lovely. I certainly believe that the zest would add a particular intense citrus aroma to anything you used it in.
