Perfuming compound (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ester

(Other definitions for ester that I've seen before include "Compound; trees (anag.)" , "Chemical compound of acid and alcohol, found in trees" , "Organic compound, rhymes with court joker" , "Compound formed from acid and alcohol" , "Fat" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
