Lacking fragrance, love? Manufacture or use LSD (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odourless

'lacking fragrance' is the definition.
(odourless means having no smell or odour)

'love? manufacture or use lsd' is the wordplay.
'love?' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'manufacture' indicates an anagram.
'or'+'use'+'lsd'='oruselsd'
'oruselsd' is an anagram of 'dourless'.
'o'+'dourless'='ODOURLESS'

(Other definitions for odourless that I've seen before include "Lacking smell" , "Unscented" , "descriptive of clean air" , "free from smell" , "having no hint of whiff" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
