A foreign bloke inspires classy application (7)
I believe the answer is:
unguent
'application' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a foreign bloke inspires classy' is the wordplay.
'a foreign' becomes 'un' ('a' translated into French).
'bloke' becomes 'gent' (I've seen this in another clue).
'inspires' is an insertion indicator (inspire means to breathe in).
'classy' becomes 'u' (I've seen this in other clues).
'gent' enclosing 'u' is 'guent'.
'un'+'guent'='UNGUENT'
(Other definitions for unguent that I've seen before include "application" , "Lubricant to tune gun" , "An ointment or lubricant" , "Oily substance" , "Ointment, soothing salve" .)
