It has no smell or uses old ingredients (9)
I believe the answer is:
odourless
'it has no smell' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.
'or uses old ingredients' is the wordplay.
'ingredients' indicates anagramming the letters.
'or'+'uses'+'old'='orusesold'
'orusesold' anagrammed gives 'ODOURLESS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for odourless that I've seen before include "descriptive of clean air" , "Lacking smell" , "free from smell" , "Unscented" , "without bouquet" .)
