An aroma that's pronounced, you agree (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assent

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

'agree' is the definition.
(I know that assent is a type of agree)

'an aroma that's pronounced' is the wordplay.
'an' becomes 'a'.
'aroma' becomes 'scent' (synonyms).
'that's pronounced' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'a'+'scent'='ascent'
'ascent' sounds like 'ASSENT'.

'you' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for assent that I've seen before include "Acquiesce, comply" , "Acquiescence" , "Accede, agree" , "Give consent" , "Official sanction" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
