Upgrade a perfume (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ascent

'upgrade' is the definition.
('ascent' can be a synonym of 'upgrade')

'a perfume' is the wordplay.
'perfume' becomes 'scent' ('scent' can be a synonym of 'perfume').
'a'+'scent'='ASCENT'

(Other definitions for ascent that I've seen before include "way up the mountain" , "Upwards motion" , "rising?" , "Going up" , "Mountain path" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
