Atomiser sprayed around a perfume (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aromatise

'perfume' is the definition.
(I know that perfume can be written as aromatise)

'atomiser sprayed around a' is the wordplay.
'sprayed' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'atomiser' with letters rearranged gives 'aromtise'.
'aromtise' enclosing 'a' is 'AROMATISE'.

(Another definition for aromatise that I've seen is " perfume".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
