Glowing with wearing unusually nice perfume (12)

I believe the answer is:

incandescent

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

'glowing with wearing unusually nice perfume' is the definition.
'incandescent' can be an answer for 'glowing' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'with wearing unusually nice perfume' bit.

'glowing with wearing unusually' is the wordplay.
'glowing' becomes 'candescent' (I've seen this before).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'wearing unusually' becomes 'in' (wear in (and 'in' is fashionable). I am not sure about the 'unusually' bit.**).
'candescent' put after 'in' is 'INCANDESCENT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for incandescent that I've seen before include "Hotly glowing bright" , "frenzied ..." , "Furious" , "Glowing brightly" , "Glowing hot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
