Scent from Faro mat is exquisite (9)

I believe the answer is:

aromatise

'scent' is the definition.
('scent'->'aromatize' is in my internal thesaurus and 'ize'->'ise')

'from faro mat is exquisite' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'AROMATISE' is hidden within 'faro mat is exquisite'.

(Another definition for aromatise that I've seen is " perfume".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
