A foreign capital that gets up your nose (5)
I believe the answer is:
aroma
'nose' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'a foreign capital that gets up your' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
'capital' could be 'roma' (Roma is an example) and 'roma' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aroma that I've seen before include "Strong smell" , "Scent - smell" , "Distinctive scent" , "Redolence" , "Bouquet" .)
