Dazzling success (5)

I believe the answer is:

eclat

'dazzling success' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for eclat that I've seen before include "Ostentation" , "Social distinction in France" , "Brilliant display -- conspicuous success" , "Brilliant success - striking effect" , "Splendour; renown" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the King Feature Syndicate and the Universal.
