If you need a good laugh the Hadley Freeman column in the Guardian on Monday is about the various products that Paltrow's company Goop sells. Apparently the candle sells for £58 and, like something called sex dust, which also retails for a similar price, has sold out.

There was a girl on Twitter who posted, "£58? Are you mad? You can smell my fanny for a fiver". She got a lot of hugely witty responses.

OMG What Have I just read? envy envy envy (NOT ENVY).
I bought some crap in my hippy days ie. Seaweed shampoo, real sponge tampons (till they were banned due to toxic shock)
BUT. Even in my most deluded 'Mother Earth' era nothing could sway me to buy anything to do with other women's Eau de Vag, candle or otherwise. < goes for a lie down >

I thought it had been banned. If not then it should be. Wonder what kind of research was done for the candle and dust. The mind boggles!

I just can't imagine what it must smell like! There have been all sorts of jokes on Facebook about it. One of them being an opened can of tuna with a birthday candle in the middle!

Nanak54 I love your comment!! Very witty.
I love scented candles, but who would want a vagina fragrance in their home? Bonkers!

Well that's what happens when you're brought up in a convent.

"Goodnight girls. Candles out"

Pop, pop,,,pop....pop. pop. pop

A clean vagina doesn't smell of anything so what is she selling?

Orly - I loved your post - very funny !

tiredoldwoman Fri 17-Jan-20 11:50:29

I wonder , if it's a sellout, who has bought it ? Men sniffing and getting horny at the thought of Gwyneth ? Eeech !
What's next - smells like my husband's pants ? I could advertise it as a diet aid , how to lose your appetite in 10 seconds and lose a stone easily .

She obviously has no acting jobs in the pipeline!!!

grannymy Fri 17-Jan-20 12:02:41

Thank you. Some of the posts have made me laugh out loud!

BlueBelle Fri 17-Jan-20 12:07:02

Apparently it's a gorgeous, sexy and beautifully unexpected scent. A mix of geranium, bergamot, cedar, damask rose and ambrette seed ...well where does the fanny come into it then?

Very good orly Made me laugh

What's so horrendous is that her business is supposedly worth more than 1/4 of a BILLION dollars, mainly because of GP talking about her vag.

grannymy Fri 17-Jan-20 12:24:24

I believe that the only two reasons the vagina should smell bad is if it is unwashed (although it is self cleansing on the inside) or if someone is suffering from bacterial vaginosis, which anyone can suffer from at some point in their life. Particularly caused by using perfumed deoderants, bath oils, etc.

Gross !?

Witzend Fri 17-Jan-20 12:57:31

I’ve long thought she was a bit bonkers - not so sure about the ‘bit’ any more.

Megs36 Fri 17-Jan-20 13:04:49

Nooooo. My husband said something very rude about selling some sausages!!!!!

Two nuns in a dark room. One said," Where's the candle." The other said, "Yes, doesn't it."

Coco51 Fri 17-Jan-20 13:20:25

So will there be a penis scented candle soon?

Lupin Fri 17-Jan-20 13:20:31

I had to look this up because I couldn't believe it! It's real! Gives new meaning to the phrase " more money than sense ".

You’ve got to feel sorry for her kids Apple and Moses... probably cringing at her latest fad.. ?
