I don't get this paper and the answers may well have been published by now , but am trying to finish xword anyway!
Here are 2 clues that will help
6d A scent drifts around our mistress (9)
I have _ O _ _ _ E _ A _
27a Lack of certain standards in test getting in the way of friendly relations (9)
I have nothing (!) here , as with most of this xword
