Cost of cheap scent, possibly? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cents

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

'cost of cheap' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'scent possibly?' is the wordplay.
'possibly?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'possibly' mean this).
'scent' anagrammed gives 'CENTS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cents that I've seen before include "money abroad" , "Fractions of dollar" , "American coins" , "Hundredths of dollar" , "US money, e.g." .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
