Enrage local feeling with speech (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

incense

'enrage' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for incense that I've seen before include "Sweet-smelling spice" , "Enrage - fragrant material for burning" , "Church perfume" , "Substance burning in a censer" , "Perfume - madden" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
