For each one, there's a supernatural beauty (4)

I believe the answer is:

peri

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

'a supernatural beauty' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'for each one' is the wordplay.
'for each' becomes 'per' (per person).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'per'+'i'='PERI'

'there's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for peri that I've seen before include "Fairy could be ripe" , "Beautiful fairy" , "Fairy of Persian myth" , "Persian fairy or genie" , "Prefix denoting 'around'" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
