Moral duo contrived to make stink (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

malodour

'stink' is the definition.
('malodour' can be a synonym of 'stink')

'moral duo contrived' is the wordplay.
'contrived' is an anagram indicator.
'moral'+'duo'='moralduo'
'moralduo' anagrammed gives 'MALODOUR'.

'to make' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
