Maria Sharapova is planning to launch her own scent. The 17-year-old Wimbledon champion, who has made no secret of her ambition to design a fashion line one day, will launch her very own scent next year.
"I'm excited because it is so different to what I've done in the past," she told YAHOO.COM. "It's going to be my own design and something I love to smell."
Since her tennis career means she spends very little time in one place, Sharapova admits that this isn't her most hands-on experience, but is convinced that it will turn out just the way she wants it.
"The company that I'm working with, we always keep in touch by e-mail because I travel so much," she goes on. "You tell them the smells you like, if you want it to be sweet, things like that. And then the bottle, the colours, the shape. It's a very interesting process. I haven't had a sniffing test yet, but I will."
