Country importing a Greek scent (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fragrance

'scent' is the definition.
(fragrance is a kind of scent)

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

(Other definitions for fragrance that I've seen before include "Perfume" , "Pleasant scent" , "Pleasant aroma as of flower" , "Bouquet" , "Sweetness of smell" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
