Burlesque star Dita von Teese – who also has her own hosiery and lingerie lines – has launched her fourth fragrance – Erotique.

To promote the new scent, Von Teese made an appearance on November 21st at Fred Segal in Los Angeles.

The glitzy gold bottle is housed in a black and gold carton. A gilded heart-shaped lock and key adorn the botle’s neck.

“Erotique was created with my desire for something vastly distinct from most commercial fragrances,” said Von Teese.

She continued to explain, “An elixir of alchemy, Erotique was inspired by a time when perfume meant something different than it does now. Vintage erotic books and art sparked my obsession with fetishistic elements, and for decades I’ve been fascinated with finding a scent that captures the carnality of those risqué erotic stories of the past.”

The fragrance opens with rose petals, accompanied by spicy, smoky pepper and coriander. Its heart develops with the essence of Bulgarian rose, moxed with contrasting leather notes. Next, itunfolds with stimulating musk, warm sandalwood, aromatic cedar and exotic Gaiac wood.

Von Teese added, “I love beguiling facets of sexuality, from dominance to vulnerability, and Erotique is a heady mélange of opposites. Its poetic contrast of leather accords and burnt embers with rare voluptuous rose is not for the faint of heart; it is intoxicating, animalistic and intense, potent weaponry for a maestra of the erotic arts”
