Fragrant spices Charlie is very fond of (6)
I believe the answer is:
cloves
'fragrant spices' is the definition.
'charlie is very fond of' is the wordplay.
'charlie' becomes 'c' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'is very fond of' becomes 'loves'.
'c'+'loves'='CLOVES'
(Other definitions for cloves that I've seen before include "A hundred amours for spices." , "Garlic segments" , "Spicy flower buds, used in apple tarts say" , "Lots of garlic" .)
