Man presenting stars with something aromatic (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leonard

'man' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'stars with something aromatic' is the wordplay.
'stars' becomes 'leo' (I've seen this before).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'something aromatic' becomes 'nard' (nard or spikenard is a type of aromatic oil).
'leo'+'nard'='LEONARD'

'presenting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for leonard that I've seen before include "man" , "Elmore ___ , US thriller writer, d. 2013" , "Fellow" , "-- Cohen, singer" , "-- Bernstein, US conductor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
