Crossword Genius

Scented aisle laid out in shop (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

delicatessen

'shop' is the definition.
(delicatessen is a kind of shop)

'scented aisle laid out' is the wordplay.
'laid out' indicates an anagram.
'scented'+'aisle'='scentedaisle'
'scentedaisle' is an anagram of 'DELICATESSEN'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for delicatessen that I've seen before include "Seller of fine foods" , "food store?" , "Unusual foods here" , "Rare food shop" , "Shop selling exotic prepared foods" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
