'beautiful' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'perfume reduced by one hundred' is the wordplay.
'perfume' becomes 'scent' (synonyms).
'reduced' means to remove the last letter.
'by one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral. I am not sure about the 'by' bit.).
'hundred' becomes 'c' (Roman numeral).
'scent' with its last letter taken away is 'scen'.
'scen'+'i'+'c'='SCENIC'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scenic that I've seen before include "having a striking view" , "Such a railway" , "Like beautiful location" , "Having nice views along the way" , "Relating to beautiful view" .)
