City sailors finding enhancement in soak (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bath salts

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'enhancement in soak' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'city sailors' is the wordplay.
'city' becomes 'bath' (English city).
'sailors' becomes 'salts' (salt is a kind of sailor).
'bath'+'salts'='BATH-SALTS'

'finding' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bath salts that I've seen before include "Perfumes" , "tip these into the water" .)
