To turn to something fragrant (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

otto

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

'something fragrant' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'to turn to' is the wordplay.
'turn' says the letters should be written backwards.
'to' backwards is 'ot'.
'ot'+'to'='OTTO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for otto that I've seen before include "Something essential" , "Italian for eight" , "Palindromic German male Christian name" , "Oil made of rose petals" , "German king" .)
