Effervescent perfume? (5)
I believe the answer is:
scent
'effervescent perfume?' is the definition.
'scent' can be an answer for 'perfume?' (perfume is a kind of scent). I'm not sure about the 'effervescent' bit.
'effervescent perfume?' is the wordplay.
'SCENT' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scent that I've seen before include "Bouquet" , "Perfume for the tracker" , "Fragrance" , "Track; aroma" , "Number of clues" .)
