Scent anger (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

incense

This clue is a double definition.

'scent' is the first definition.
(incensing is a kind of scenting)

'anger' is the second definition.
(to incense is make angry)

(Other definitions for incense that I've seen before include "that may be used in service" , "Substance burning in a censer" , "Make very angry about the fragrant smoke?" , "source of smoke" , "Get under someone's skin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
