'perfume' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'kid enters a country for' is the wordplay.
'kid' becomes 'rag' (I've seen this in other clues).
'enters' indicates putting letters inside.
'a country for' becomes 'france' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'rag' going inside 'france' is 'FRAGRANCE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fragrance that I've seen before include "Pleasant aroma as of flower" , "that may be bottled up" , "Bouquet" , "Pleasant smell" , "Cologne, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
