Gwyneth Paltrow’s infamous candle is not just a pricey novelty; it’s also potentially hazardous! Last year, Paltrow’s Goop brand released its most outrageous product yet: a candle that supposedly smells like a vagina. Whose vagina? That remains a mystery. Regardless, the candle is as absurd as it sounds and now, it’s been linked to a fire hazard. A woman in London went viral after her “This Smells Like My Vagina” candle reportedly ignited a blaze in her home!
Claire Mitchell shared with The Daily News that she won the $75 candle online and lit it, only to witness a “50cm flame leap from the candle and out of the glass jar.” Mitchell described the experience as the candle “exploded and shot flames everywhere.” She stated, “I’ve never seen anything like it. The whole thing was ablaze and it was too hot to touch. There was an inferno in the room!”
Can you believe that? Gwyneth Paltrow’s candle caused a literal “inferno” in someone’s living space! Fortunately, she managed to extinguish the fire without needing to call the fire department, although they somehow caught wind of the incident and tweeted a warning: “It might be popular but do not leave #GwynethPaltrow scented candle unattended (or any candles for that matter).” Imagine being called out directly by the fire department!
Mitchell said that Goop’s VP of Communications reached out to inform the manufacturer of the incident and even offered her some Goop products to help her cope during quarantine. How generous! Nothing like nearly burning down your house to be rewarded with wellness gadgets, collagen tea, and perhaps a yoni egg.
You might be curious about what a vagina candle smells like and what happens during a “vagina inferno.” According to Goop, the candle features a “blend of geranium, citrusy bergamot, and cedar absolutes, combined with Damask rose and ambrette seed, evoking feelings of fantasy, seduction, and sophisticated warmth.” As for Mitchell’s home, she confirmed that “the exploding vagina smell has dissipated now.”
According to People, this outrageous candle began as a joke between perfumer Douglas Little and Paltrow. While testing various scents for perfumes, Paltrow remarked, “Uhhh.. this smells like a vagina.” Although vagina perfume didn’t pique her interest, they believed a candle would work, leading to a “test run” during the In Goop Health summit, which sold out within hours.
If, after hearing all this, you still want to grab one of these candles, Paltrow sells them on her site for $75, alongside another candle named “This Smells Like My Orgasm.” It’s unclear if that one poses a fire hazard as well.
