satin

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

'smooth stuff' is the definition.
'satin' can be an answer for 'smooth' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'stuff' bit.

'intoxicate a saint' is the wordplay.
'intoxicate' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'intoxicating' mean this).
'saint' is an anagram of 'SATIN'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for satin that I've seen before include "Smooth and silky" , "Rich cloth" , "Stain found in cloth" , "Silky material" , "Stain on shiny fabric" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
