T S Eliot disturbed retiree in bar with perfume (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toilet soap

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

'perfume' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

't s eliot disturbed retiree in bar' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' is an anagram indicator (the order of letters is disturbed).
'retiree in bar' becomes 'oap' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
's'+'eliot'='seliot'
'seliot' anagrammed gives 'oilets'.
't'+'oilets'+'oap'='TOILET-SOAP'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for toilet soap that I've seen is " something for personal hygiene".)
