Aroma of cloth found in European country (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fragrance

'aroma' is the definition.
(I know that fragrance is a type of aroma)

'cloth found in european country' is the wordplay.
'cloth' becomes 'rag' (rag is a kind of cloth).
'found in' is an insertion indicator.
'european country' becomes 'France' (country in Europe).
'rag' placed into 'france' is 'FRAGRANCE'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for fragrance that I've seen before include "that may be bottled up" , "Sweet smell" , "Pleasant scent" , "Pleasant smell" , "Perfume" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
