Lover of beauty (8)
I believe the answer is:
aesthete
'lover of beauty' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for aesthete that I've seen before include "He has good taste" , "Person with deep interest in art and beauty" , "Person appreciating the beauty of art" , "One sensitive to art and beauty" , "Sensitive chap" .)
