Crossword Genius

Thurible’s contents anger (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

incense

This clue is a double definition.

'thurible's contents' is the first definition.
(a thurible is an incense holder)

'anger' is the second definition.
(incensing is a kind of angering)

(Other definitions for incense that I've seen before include "Fragrant substance to drive to anger" , "Enrage greatly" , "Get under someone's skin" , "Sweet-smelling spice" , "Grains burnt in church etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
