Gwyneth Paltrow is selling a candle that smells like her vagina in her Goop store.
Gwyneth Paltrow, 47, is known for coming up with some strange and scandalous ideas always. She has been engrossed in something that has left fans heavily surprised, but this time, she has outdone herself. The 47-year-old American actress is selling a vagina-scented candle at her store, Goop, which is her alternative wellness company.
The candle, “This Smells Like My Vagina,” was sold out like a hot property at the online store for an amount of $75. The candle is a composition of geranium, citrusy bergamot, and cedar absolutes fragrances juxtaposed with Damask rose and ambrette seed that puts us in mind of fantasy, seduction, and a sophisticated warmth.
The production description on the site read that the idea of this 10.5-ounce candle was started as a joke between the actress and Perfumer Douglas Little. The duo was working on a fragrance, when she blurted out, “Uhhh … this smells like a vagina,” and that lead to the evolution into a funny, gorgeous, sexy, and beautifully unexpected scent.

The candle has already been sold out on both Goop’s and Heretic’s websites.
Paltrow isn’t new to the business of releasing controversial products. Her lifestyle brand has always been a topic of gossip and criticism from its launch in the year 2008.
Last year during the holiday season, Goop made headlines for its holiday gift guide. It included $43,000 earrings and a BDSM kit. The list was so scandalous that Goop itself labelled it the “ridiculous but awesome gift guide.” Other items in the kit included a handmade, animal cruelty-free moisture bar shaped like an egg for $65. The BDSM kit, however, was probably the most ridiculous of the bunch.
And now, Paltrow is taking her lifestyle brand on even a bigger scale thanks to Netflix. A series based on Paltrow’s store Goop titled ‘The Goop Lab’ is all set to release on the streaming giant on 24th January.
