Crossword Genius

Company to record neon perfume (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cologne

'perfume' is the definition.
(I know that cologne is a type of perfume)

'company to record neon' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'to record' becomes 'log' (logging is a kind of recording).
'neon' becomes 'Ne' (chemical symbol).
'co'+'log'+'ne'='COLOGNE'

(Other definitions for cologne that I've seen before include "Scent - German city" , "German river port" , "Town" , "Refreshing scent" , "Foreign city" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
