scented

'made to smell' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'decent perhaps on saturday or sunday' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'on' means one lot of letters goes inside another (as in clothing 'on' a person).
'saturday or sunday' becomes 's' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'decent' is an anagram of 'cented'.
'cented' enclosing 's' is 'SCENTED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scented that I've seen before include "Perfumed" , "sensed" , "Having pleasant smell" , "Sweet-smelling" , "smelled a rat, perhaps?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
