The sweet smell of anger? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

incense

I believe this is a double definition.

'the sweet smell' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'anger' is the second definition.
(to incense is make angry)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for incense that I've seen before include "Substance burned for its sweet smell" , "Infuriate" , "Church perfume" , "Make very angry about the fragrant smoke?" , "Perfume, make angry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
