Is it Sati rather than Satie?

[Voulez-vous]

No, It's definitely Satie, factor30!

[Voulez-vous]

Thanks Al-Issner! Any chance you can explain the wordplay? :-))

[Voulez-vous]

Now get the wordplay for 23d) moire (watered)...................Glow-worm set the puzzle so therefore "me" around port "Rio" up. Convoluted!
Haven't sussed wordplay for 26a) yet.

mister = sprayer as in perfume atomiser

[bulliver]

atomiser (mister) - anagram of 'satie mor(e)'
