Deodorant estimated to be in a spot on the Comet? (9)
I believe the answer is:
rolleston
'a spot on the comet?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'deodorant estimated to be in' is the wordplay.
'deodorant' becomes 'rollon' (I've seen this before).
'estimated' becomes 'est' (abbreviation).
'to be in' indicates putting letters inside.
'rollon' placed around 'est' is 'ROLLESTON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
