Teenagers make fuss over the French perfumes (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adolescents

'teenagers' is the definition.
('adolescent' can be a synonym of 'teenager')

'fuss over the french perfumes' is the wordplay.
'fuss' becomes 'ado' ('ado' can be a synonym of 'fuss'**).
'over' says to put letters next to each other.
'the french' becomes 'le'.
'perfumes' becomes 'scents' ('scent' can be a synonym of 'perfume').
'ado'+'le'+'scents'='ADOLESCENTS'

'make' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for adolescents that I've seen before include "Youths" , "Teenagers" , "Kids" , "Young people" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
