I believe the answer is:

atomiser

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

'to make perfume go further' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'to a terrible skinflint' is the wordplay.
'terrible' indicates anagramming the letters.
'skinflint' becomes 'miser' (synonyms).
'to'+'a'='toa'
'toa' anagrammed gives 'ato'.
'ato'+'miser'='ATOMISER'

'how' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for atomiser that I've seen before include "I, maestro can reduce liquids to a fine spray" , "Dispenser spraying perfume as a fine mist" , "Device for reducing liquid to a fine spray" , "Amortise for spray-creating device" , "Mister" .)
