Gwyneth Paltrow’s infamous “This Smells Like My Vagina” candle isn’t just a quirky gift; it’s also been linked to a dangerous incident! Last year, Paltrow’s Goop brand introduced this eyebrow-raising product, which has now become notorious after a woman in London experienced quite the scare. After winning the $75 candle online, she lit it only to witness a “50cm flame” erupting from the jar.
According to local reports, the woman, who has been given the name Clara Mitchell, described the experience as surreal. The candle reportedly “exploded, emitting large flames and debris,” leaving her in shock. She recalled, “the whole thing was on fire, and it was too hot to handle. There was an inferno in the room.” Thankfully, she managed to extinguish the flames without needing to call the fire brigade, but the department later tweeted a warning about the candle, reminding everyone not to leave any candles unattended.
In a twist of fate, Goop’s PR team reached out to Clara after learning about the incident. They offered her some Goop products to help her unwind during quarantine. Because, of course, nothing says “relaxation” like wellness trackers and collagen tea after a near-disaster with a candle!
As for the candle’s scent, Goop claims it features a unique blend of geranium, bergamot, cedar, Damask rose, and ambrette seed, evoking a sense of fantasy and warmth. Clara humorously noted that the “exploding vagina smell” has since dissipated.
Interestingly, the candle’s origin stems from a lighthearted moment between Paltrow and perfumer Douglas Little, who, while testing scents, joked that one of them “smelled like a vagina.” While they decided against a vagina-scented perfume, a candle seemed like a fun alternative. They conducted a trial run at the In Goop Health summit, where it sold out almost immediately.
If you still want to take the plunge and purchase one of these candles, they’re available for $75 on Paltrow’s website, alongside another candle called “This Smells Like My Orgasm.” Whether or not that one poses a fire hazard remains unclear.
