Gwyneth Paltrow’s Vagina-Scented Candle Was Just Released And It Sold Out In Minutes

Scented candles help set the mood or make us feel calmer. That is why there are plenty of types for you to choose from. But recently, Gwyneth Paltrow shocked us with her vagina-scented candle!

The 47-year-old actress and lifestyle entrepreneur left the world speechless with her sales in her online Goop store. This candle was named “This Smells Like My Vagina” and ells for $75. According to Daily Mail, these candles boast a fragrance that is a mixture of geranium, citrusy bergamot, and cedar. Source reveals that the idea of this scented candle that was made by Heretic originally started as a joke between Paltrow and professional perfumer, Douglas Little.

According to the website, the candle is perfect for putting ‘fantasy, seduction, and sophisticated warmth’ into the atmosphere. The product description reads: “This candle started as a joke between perfumer Douglas Little and GP — the two were working on a fragrance, and she blurted out, ‘Uhhh … this smells like a vagina’ — but evolved into a funny, gorgeous, sexy, and beautifully unexpected scent.”

But it seemed like Paltrows’ lifestyle company is onto something. As it turns out, the candle is sold on both the Goop’s and the Heretic’s websites.

Paltrow however is not new to this. She is used to selling controversial products. She is known for her vaginal-themed antics like the vaginal jade eggs that doctors do not recommend. This product made the company receive so much criticism for making false health claims and spreading medical misinformation. This handmade, animal cruelty-free moisture bar shaped like an egg was sold for $65.

Also just last year, Goop made the headlines for the holiday gift guide that included $43,000 earrings and a BDSM kit. This was so outrageous that even Goop dubbed it as the ‘ridiculous but awesome gift guide.’ The Goop website explained, “Think of this kit as a beginner’s guide to BDSM. It’s even equipped with DIY restraining straps, to help you, him, or she assumes the position (wink, wink).”

But nobody can argue that the BDSM kit was by far, the most outrageous until these vagina-scented candles came out. Thankfully, the ‘This Smells Like My Vagina’ does not have any proven negative health impact, but critics say that it surely does not smell anything like a real vagina.

The Cut’s newsroom did a small test of the candle and the results were not something they expected. Writer Allison P Davis, told the Cut that “This smells like a vagina that is douching Summer’s Eve too frequently and will probably end up with a yeast infection.” Even Twitter users were not thrilled about the concept of a universal vagina scent.

And it seems like Paltrow shows no signs of stopping. Just this week, Netflix announced that she and the company will be producing an upcoming ‘holistic wellness’ series called “The Good Lab” which is expected to premier on January 24th.

Dr. Jonathan N. Stea explained on Twitter saying, “Goop sells because pseudoscientific quick fixes sell. The show could be written off as entertainment if it weren’t for the fact that it makes health claims.”

And when it comes to the “This Smells Like My Vagina” it was sold out just hours after it was released. But the website is encouraging curious buyers to add their information to the waitlist if they want to be notified once this candle is back in stock.
