A note with facts about the superficial aspects (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

facets

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'superficial aspects' is the definition.
'facets' can be an answer for 'aspects' ('facet' can be a synonym of 'aspect'). I'm not sure about the 'superficial' bit.

'a note with facts about' is the wordplay.
'a note' becomes 'e' (musical note).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'e' after 'facts' is 'factse'.
'factse' is an anagram of 'FACETS'.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for facets that I've seen before include "Faces of cut gemstones" , "Surfaces of a cut gem" , "Sides of a cut gemstone" , "Sides or surfaces" , "Surfaces or aspects" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
