Perfumed hair ointment (6)
I believe the answer is:
pomade
'perfumed hair ointment' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for pomade that I've seen before include "Scented hair dressing" , "preparation for locks" , "Oily dressing for hair" , "Hair lotion" , "Perfumed hair dressing" .)
