Perfume showing warm-hearted love for mother (5)
I believe the answer is:
aroma
'perfume' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'warm-hearted love for mother' is the wordplay.
'hearted' means to look at the middle letters.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'mother' becomes 'ma' (ma can mean mother).
The centre of 'warm' is 'ar'.
'ar'+'o'+'ma'='AROMA'
'showing' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for aroma that I've seen before include "Savour" , "Nose" , "A pleasant smell as of food" , "Pervasive quality" , "Scent - smell" .)
