Perfume from cloth in country (9)
I believe the answer is:
fragrance
'perfume' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'cloth in country' is the wordplay.
'cloth' becomes 'rag' (rag is a kind of cloth).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'country' becomes 'france' (France is an example).
'rag' inserted into 'france' is 'FRAGRANCE'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for fragrance that I've seen before include "Pleasant aroma as of flower" , "Pleasant smell" , "Sweetness of smell" , "Perfume" , "Bouquet" .)
