Strange allure of symbol of honour (6)

I believe the answer is:

laurel

'symbol of honour' is the definition.

'strange allure' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'allure' with letters rearranged gives 'LAUREL'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for laurel that I've seen before include "Oliver Hardy's pal Stan" , "Honours" , "Hardy's chum" , "Film partner of Hardy" , "Evergreen shrub" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
