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' indicates the central letters.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'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" .)
