Gwyneth Paltrow is selling a candle called “This Smells Like My Vagina” on Goop, and it’s sold out. But Twitter didn’t run out of jokes.
The $75 item contains traditional perfume elements like bergamot, cedar and rose “to put us in mind of fantasy, seduction, and a sophisticated warmth,” the product copy reads.
According to a previous Goop description, the provocative name came from a joke between perfumer Douglas Little and Paltrow. The two were testing a fragrance one day when she declared, “Uhhh, this smells like a vagina.” The bouquet evolved into a “funny, gorgeous, sexy and beautifully unexpected scent.”
Consumers had thoughts on the candle, and many weren’t full of rose and bergamot.
What does desperate for attention smell like?

I just heard about @GwynethPaltrow's "This Smells Like My Vagina" candle. She totally ripped off my "This Smells Like My Foreskin" candle...

Gwyneth P: "Yay! Maybe we should light up a few of my candles to lift up the party mood?"

"you wouldn't dare🤣"
"hold my kombucha🤣🤣🤣".
*Stamps approval*
I haven't gone more than 10 minutes without thinking about Gwyneth's vagina. If any of my family smell a thing they invariably add "it smells like Gwyneth's vagina." Was this her aim because this family holiday has taken a turn.

The vagina candle being just a regular candle that says “this smells like my vagina” is the absolute best thing guys can’t comprehend this week on the internets. #GwynethPaltrow #vaginacandle @GwynethPaltrow pic.twitter.com/A6LZOuu8yC

I think Gwyneth Paltrow is actually losing it and chose to market a candle that says "This Smells Like My Vagina" right on the label out of cynical disgust at humanity. If I'm right her next big product will be perfume that smells like her feces after she eats a plate of kale. pic.twitter.com/FaCal4PzAC

#SMELL FACT: When Gwenyth Paltrow discovered that her birth canal smelled uncannily of geranium, citrus and cedar, she preserved this anomaly for science in a bestselling candle called “This Smells Like My Vagina”. She describes the scent as “funny”. pic.twitter.com/lFV70IOkWc
