Goop Is Selling a "Vagina-Scented" Candle for $75

Goop Is Selling a "Vagina-Scented" Candle for $75 Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop is known for touting some pretty out-there wellness products. And, they aren't running out of outlandish ideas. The brand recently started selling a candle called This Smells Like My Vagina. The candle is a blend of geranium, citrusy bergamot, cedar, Damask rose, and ambrette seed, according to Goop's product description. When Paltrow and Douglas Little, founder of Heretic Parfums, collaborated on the candle, Paltrow "blurted out" that the scent reminded her of a vagina. They continued developing the candle until it "evolved into a funny, gorgeous, sexy, and beautifully unexpected scent," according to Goop's description. Vaginas have their own natural scent, but it's completely fine if yours doesn't smell like a citrusy blend of flowers. The vagina has its own microbiome, and everything from sex to the clothing you wear can affect the microbiome, and thus, the vaginal scent. As for Goop's candle, no judgment if the scent sounds like something you're genuinely into. But equating geranium and Damask rose to a vagina? That's probably a stretch.
