'perfume's' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'cloth in perfume's home' is the wordplay.
'cloth' becomes 'rag' (rag is a kind of cloth).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'perfume's home' becomes 'france' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'rag' going into 'france' is 'FRAGRANCE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fragrance that I've seen before include "Pleasant smell" , "Pleasant scent" , "Bouquet" , "Sweet smell" , "Sweetness of smell" .)
