Cover diary in pine fruit and toilet water (7)
I believe the answer is:
cologne
'toilet water' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'cover diary in pine fruit' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'diary' could be 'log' (log can mean a record or diary) and 'log' is located in the answer.
'pine fruit' could be 'cone' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'cone' is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cologne that I've seen before include "Scented toilet water" , "Perfumed liquid made of oils and alcohol" , "German river port" , "Eau de _____" , "smells nice" .)
