Fragrant compound (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ester

'fragrant compound' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ester that I've seen before include "Fat" , "Reset (anag.)" , "Compound formed from acid and alcohol" , "Chemical compound of acid and alcohol, found in trees" , "Compound; trees (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the LA Times and the Universal.
