You Won’t BELIEVE Why Gwyneth Defends Her Vagina Candle!

BBG News

At the Mindvalley Manifesting Summit 2025 in Los Angeles on Saturday, Gwyneth Paltrow put on her best outfit to attend the event, but was questioned regarding the contentious “This Smells Like My Vagina” candle from her company Goop.

In 2020, the 52-year-old CEO and founder of Goop collaborated with Douglas Little, founder of Heretic Parfum, to produce a $75 candle. The fragrance of this candle is derived from essential oils such as geranium, bergamot, cedar, Damask rose, and ambrette seed.

During a memorable moment, Gwyneth mentioned at a packed Q&A session that the product is captivating because on one playful day, we experimented with various scents. Suddenly, I caught a whiff and exclaimed, “Ah, that’s reminiscent of…

Initially, I was just being humorous, but then Douglas responded, “That sounds like a great idea for a candle to feature on our website!

Paltrow thought Little was kidding and she sarcastically agreed that it ‘sounded like a winner.’

Speaking about the discontinued candle, the Oscar winner remarked, “Suddenly, it appeared on the website. Then, we managed to shatter the Internet once more. It took us quite some time to recover from that incident, as this item now sells for an astonishing $400 on eBay.

However, I chose to leave it on the platform because I believe there is an often-suppressed aspect of women’s sexuality that carries a sense of shame in our society. I found a sense of rebellion in this punk rock attitude: “We are beautiful, powerful, and we dare you to challenge us.

However, not everything was pleasant success for Texas client Colby Watson, who initiated a $5 million class-action lawsuit against the brand in 2021. This was due to his vagina-scented candle reportedly bursting following approximately three hours of burning.

In retrospect, several months ago, a client named Jody Thompson from London claimed that the vagina-scented candle she was burning in her home unexpectedly burst into flames, igniting what she described as a mini firestorm.

A few months back, a London-based customer, Jody Thompson, shared an unsettling incident where her vagina-scented candle spontaneously erupted in her living room, leading to a small blaze that she referred to as an ‘inferno.’

2022 saw Goop launching a $75 ‘Keep Hands off My Freedom’ scented candle, with proceeds going to the ACLU, as a tribute to the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Regrettably, the Supreme Court overturned this historic decision in the same year.

During their confirmation hearings, Justices Neil Gorsuch, Amy Cony Barrett, and Brett Kavanaugh affirmed that Roe v. Wade was a precedent and established law under oath. However, later on, they joined Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas in overturning this decision.

Gwyneth Paltrow, hailing from Los Angeles, initially introduced Goop in 2008 as a weekly email newsletter offering spiritual guidance. Over time, she broadened the brand’s scope to include online shopping, wellness events, a print publication, podcasts, and even a Netflix documentary series.

In a personal aspect, Gwyneth is a mother of two: her elder daughter, Apple, who recently turned 21, and her son, Moses, aged 19. She was married to the lead singer of Coldplay, Chris Martin, for over a decade. They made a decision in 2013 to separate amicably, which we can refer to as “consciously uncoupling.

In her spare time from studying law, history, and society at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN, Apple enjoys participating in plays.

When Moses isn’t engrossed in his freshman studies at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, he leads the group known as Dancer Dancer Dancer Dancer.

In the previous year, Gwyneth Paltrow completed portraying Timothée Chalamet’s character’s significantly older lover in Josh Safdie’s individual directorial debut titled Marty Supreme, set to premiere in American cinemas on December 25th.

As a committed admirer, I’d like to highlight that a captivating film from A24, with an impressive budget of $70M, features an ensemble cast including Tyler the Creator, Fran Drescher, Penn Jillette, Abel Ferrera, and Sandra Bernhard, all in a unique ping pong drama.

As an over-the-moon fan, I can’t contain my excitement to share that I’ll make a special appearance in Rachel Israel’s heartwarming indie comedy “Miracle on 74th Street,” alongside the incredible Drew Barrymore, Jill Kargman, Justin Bartha, David Krumholtz, Christine Taylor, and Jason Biggs. What a dream come true!
