Crossword Genius

Bouquet got by taking part of Figaro masterfully (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aroma

'bouquet' is the definition.
(bouquet can mean a wine's aroma)

'taking part of figaro masterfully' is the wordplay.
'taking part of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'AROMA' is hidden within 'figaro masterfully'.

'got by' is the link.

(Other definitions for aroma that I've seen before include "Scent - fragrance" , "Subtle quality" , "A pleasant smell as of food" , "Distinctive odour" , "Fragrance of spices" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
