Real information leading a Parisienne to embrace one (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

genuine

'real' is the definition.
('genuine' can be similar in meaning to 'real')

'information leading a parisienne to embrace one' is the wordplay.
'information' becomes 'gen' (gen is a kind of information).
'leading' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a parisienne' becomes 'une'.
'to embrace' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'une' going around 'i' is 'uine'.
'gen'+'uine'='GENUINE'

(Other definitions for genuine that I've seen before include "Not fake or counterfeit" , "Native" , "Bona fide, authentic" , "Authentic; honest" , "Real; sincere" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
