Staff of office; spice (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mace

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'staff of office' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'spice' is the second definition.
(I know that mace is a type of spice)

(Other definitions for mace that I've seen before include "Spiked club" , "Staff of office and a spice" , "Ceremonial staff of office" , "something fragrant" , "Came to get nutmeg spice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
