Purple candle scent (5)
I believe the answer is:
lilac
'purple candle scent' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for lilac that I've seen before include "Flower celebrated by Schubert" , "Tree - pinkish-purple colour" , "Shrub (but not always this colour)" , "Syringa vulgaris, light purple in colour" , "Plant" .)
