odourless

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

'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" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
