Let's talk about Gwyneth Paltrow's vagina candle. Already puzzled? Gwyneth Paltrow decided to team up with forward-thinking perfumer Douglas Little, back in 2020, to create a fragrance. When it came to the testing phase Gwyneth Paltrow took a sniff of one of the samples and exclaimed with characteristically Goop-levels of sensationalism, 'this smells like a vagina!'.

The team embraced both the fragrance and Gwyneth's words, and all of a sudden there was an Instagram-ready candle called 'This Smells Like My Vagina' on sale. A social media frenzy ensued and the candle promptly sold out. It's back in stock now though!

What Does Gwyneth Paltrow's 'This Smells Like My Vagina' ACTUALLY Smell Like?

So what does this head-line grabbing £70 candle actually smell like? According to Heretic, the thoroughly Instagram-able brand behind the showstopper, we have to 'imagine a bundle of roses wrapped in suede'. It's a 'voluptuous scent of fantasy and seduction. Made with a combination of natural and safe synthetic fragrance' with top notes of bergamot, geranium and cedar, heart notes of damask rose and a base of ambrette seed.

Translation? The first hit you get will be light and fresh before the scent blurs to a warm, comforting rose fragrance with more guts to it than your average floral candle option. In short, it's a pretty decent buy, and if you want a conversation-starter for your coffee table, look no further.
