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

'smell the report' is the definition.
'aroma' can be an answer for 'smell' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'the report' bit.

'a wanderer' is the wordplay.
'wanderer' becomes 'roma' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'roma'='AROMA'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aroma that I've seen before include "Pleasant odour" , "Distinctive scent" , "Fragrance of spices" , "Distinctive odour" , "Distinctive smell" .)

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