Von Teese vows to continue with fragrance line dream

Burlesque beauty Dita Von Teese has refused to accept defeat in her quest to make a fragrance line, despite being rejected by a major global perfume company.

Von Teese has struggled to find investment for her idea, as major executives don't think she's famous enough.

She tells WWD.com, "What I really want to do is make my own fragrance. I don't want to smell like anyone else. I have to talk to the smaller companies, because the bigger ones, like Coty, are like 'Well, not everyone knows your name, like the Kardashians or Victoria Beckham.'"
