The definition is at the beginning of the clue.
How the clue works
Right, so it refreshes is your definition — deodorant, obviously, keeps you smelling nice. Now for the build: take the dictionary OED and flip it round ("backing" tells you to reverse it), which gives you DEO. Stick DO on after that for "work", then finish with RANT for "Bellow" — DEO, DO, RANT, all strung together.
