Moth repellent (5)
I believe the answer is:
cedar
'moth repellent' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for cedar that I've seen before include "Leaving body" , "Raced around noble tree" , "Fragrant conifer" , "Tree giving fragrant wood" , "Cypress-like tree" .)
