Country importing a Greek perfume (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fragrance

'perfume' is the definition.
(I know that perfume can be written as fragrance)

'country importing a greek' is the wordplay.
'country' becomes 'france' (France is an example).
'importing' is an insertion indicator.
'greek' becomes 'gr' (abbreviation for Greek).
'a'+'gr'='agr'
'france' enclosing 'agr' is 'FRAGRANCE'.

(Other definitions for fragrance that I've seen before include "Pleasant smell" , "that may be bottled up" , "Sweetness of smell" , "Bouquet" , "Pleasant scent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
