Crossword Genius

Paganini's intoxicated by French perfume (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

frangipani

'perfume' is the definition.
(perfume made from the frangipani tree)

'paganini's intoxicated by french' is the wordplay.
'intoxicated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'french' becomes 'fr' (abbreviation).
'paganini' with letters rearranged gives 'angipani'.
'angipani' after 'fr' is 'FRANGIPANI'.
