Fragrant as a nameless Wordsworthian poet, say (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aromatic

'fragrant' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for aromatic that I've seen before include "'balmy'" , "Pleasant smelling" , "Scented" , "herb, perhaps" , "Fragrant and spicey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
