Fragrant coniferous tree (5)
I believe the answer is:
cedar
'fragrant coniferous tree' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for cedar that I've seen before include "Tree (Lebanese?)" , "Raced around a great hardwood tree" , "Tree giving fragrant wood" , "Deodar" , "Leaving body" .)
