'Go F*** Yourself': Gwyneth Paltrow Has A Message For Anyone Still Hung Up On Her Vagina Candle
Gwyneth Paltrow is absolutely not here for anyone making fun of her infamous vagina-scented candle. The Oscar winner and polarising wellness guru's brand Goop made headlines in January 2020, when the company announced a new product, a candle titled This Smells Like My Vagina, was going on sale on its website. Five years later, the candle is still generating plenty of headlines (as are its successors, This Smells Like My Orgasm and Hands Off My Vagina), with Gwynnie being asked about both the product and the media furore it created during a Q&A for Mind Valley over the weekend. Standing by the candle, the Sliding Doors actor said: 'That product is so fascinating. It took us a long time to live that one down, but I kept it on the site because there is an aspect to women's sexuality that I think we're socialised to feel a lot of shame [about]. And I sort of loved this kind of punk rock idea.' Gwyneth then added: 'We are beautiful and we are awesome and go fuck yourself.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mindvalley (@mindvalley) Around the time the This Smells Like My Vagina candle first went on sale, Gwyneth told US talk show host Seth Meyers: 'I think women, a lot of us, have grown up feeling certain degrees of shame around our bodies or whatever. 'So, this is a little bit of a subversive candle for all of us out there.' Gwyneth later claimed that the candle was never intended to 'actually smell like anyone's vagina', instead having scents of bergamot, geranium and cedar juxtaposed with damask rose and ambrette seed. More recently, the candle made headlines for a rather different reason when it was reported that at least two had exploded, leading to a disclaimer being added to its packaging telling users not to burn it for more than three hours.
