Sweet, own scent (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aftershave

'scent' is the definition.

'sweet own' is the wordplay.
'sweet' becomes 'afters' (I've seen this before).
'own' becomes 'have' ('have' can be a synonym of 'own').
'afters'+'have'='AFTERSHAVE'

(Other definitions for aftershave that I've seen before include "alcohol to splash on, say" , "Dad's expected present?" , "Fragrance" , "Soothing spirit" , "cheeky alcoholic preparation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
