Crossword Genius

Fragrant old Dorothy has managed to get hugged (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odorant

'get hugged' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'fragrant old dorothy has managed' is the wordplay.
'fragrant old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English. I am not sure about the 'fragrant' bit.).
'dorothy' becomes 'dot' (nickname for someone called Dorothy).
'has' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'managed' becomes 'ran' (both can mean organised or was in charge of).
'dot' enclosing 'ran' is 'dorant'.
'o'+'dorant'='ODORANT'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for odorant that I've seen before include "Aromatic" , "may create a stink?" , "Tornado (anag)" , "Something emitting a strong smell" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
