Amazingly nice and extremely desirable? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edenic

'amazingly nice and extremely desirable?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'amazingly nice and extremely desirable?' is the wordplay.
'amazingly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'extremely' means to remove the middle letters (only the extremes of the word are used).
'desirable' with its centre taken out is 'de'.
'nice' after 'de' is 'denice'.
'denice' with letters rearranged gives 'EDENIC'.

(Other definitions for edenic that I've seen before include "Like garden of Genesis" , "Paradisical" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
