Rise to a perfume (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ascent

'rise' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a perfume' is the wordplay.
'perfume' becomes 'scent' (synonyms).
'a'+'scent'='ASCENT'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ascent that I've seen before include "An up-slope" , "Upward movement" , "progress" , "A rise in status; climb" , "A climb or way up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
