Sniff? No way! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nose

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

'sniff?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'no way' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'se' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'no'+'se'='NOSE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nose that I've seen before include "front part of vehicle" , "Aroma of wine" , "Asian wind instrument -- use Teflon (anag)" , "Hooter" , "Front of an aircraft" .)

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