Repeat climb about a perfume (8)

I believe the answer is:

reascent

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'repeat climb' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'about a perfume' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'rea' (I've seen this in other clues).
'a perfume' becomes 'scent' (synonyms).
'rea'+'scent'='REASCENT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for reascent that I've seen is " going back up".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
