Positive mistake inducing rage in man with a keen sense (8)
I believe the answer is:
perfumer
'positive mistake inducing rage' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'man with a keen sense' is the wordplay.
'man' becomes 'r' (abbreviation for rook, a chess piece or 'man').
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a' becomes 'per' (eg 'one a day' means 'one per day').
'keen sense' becomes 'fume' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'per'+'fume'='perfume'
'r' put after 'perfume' is 'PERFUMER'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for perfumer that I've seen is " Maybe he incenses".)
