deodorant

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'personal freshener' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'do not read about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'do'+'not'+'read'='donotread'
'donotread' anagrammed gives 'DEODORANT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for deodorant that I've seen before include "Underarm spray, perhaps" , "hum suppressor" , "Toiletry product" , "Substance that removes unwanted smells" , "Smell masker" .)
