Perfume container could be found in a chest (6)
I believe the answer is:
sachet
'perfume' is the definition.
(I know that sachet is a type of perfume)
'found in a chest' is the wordplay.
'found in' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'chest'='achest'
'achest' with letters rearranged gives 'SACHET'.
'container could be' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sachet that I've seen before include "Small bag or sealed plastic pack" , "Small packet (of, eg, shampoo)" , "'Small soft bag, for perfumed powder say (6)'" , "Small bag - chaste (anag)" , "Package" .)
