Feminine anger about foul-smelling resin (12)
I believe the answer is:
frankincense
'resin' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'feminine anger about foul-smelling' is the wordplay.
'feminine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation listed in Chambers).
'anger' becomes 'incense' (incensing is a kind of angering**).
'about' says to put letters next to each other.
'foul-smelling' becomes 'rank' (I've seen this before).
'incense' after 'rank' is 'rankincense'.
'f'+'rankincense'='FRANKINCENSE'
(Other definitions for frankincense that I've seen before include "Aromatic gum resin - an original Christmas present!" , "present at birth" , "One of the Magi's gifts" , "Christmas gift" , "Source of pleasant scent" .)
