Crossword Genius

Bizarre demand for incense (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

madden

'incense' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'bizarre demand' is the wordplay.
'bizarre' indicates an anagram.
'demand' anagrammed gives 'MADDEN'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for madden that I've seen before include "Become extremely angry" , "Demand (anag)" , "Infuriate or drive insane" , "anger" , "Make very angry, even insane (6)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
