Omit a car - terribly smelly (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aromatic

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

'omit a car terribly' is the wordplay.
'terribly' is an anagram indicator.
'omit'+'a'+'car'='omitacar'
'omitacar' anagrammed gives 'AROMATIC'.

(Other definitions for aromatic that I've seen before include "With a strong pleasant smell" , "Fragrant or spicy, smells nice" , "Having fragrance (of herb)" , "Pleasant sort of smell from Cairo mat" , "herb, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
