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.

I haven't got further than reading the first page of comments to this post because I simply can't stop laughing. Thank you Gwynneth, I didn't know you were now into comedy!

Dos this candle smell specifically of her vagina or is it a generic vagina? At that price I would want it to be hers! grin

When my daughter was small she used to love running ahead of me when shopping to get the things we needed . One day she ran back shouting ' I've got your pee pee tights ' ( they were of course Pretty Polly ( PP ). Maybe she was on to something ?
What next - ' dirty nappy on coal fire ' ?

There has also been a breast milk scented candle available from the Wellcome collection (£45, large size), to go with the sculpture you can sniff in the Being Human gallery. Just hope there’s not a smelly feet one.

Well, everyday's a school day , Flowerofthewest ! I looked up sweaty candles and GP isn't the only one who's doing this !

You can understand why Chris Martin "conciously uncoupled" himself from her!

This thread has made me laugh, thanks.

Can't wait for the Paltrow air freshener range fragrances to come out. confused

could attract unwanted visitors ?

annodomini Sat 18-Jan-20 09:39:27

My first reaction when I saw this piece of non-news was to wonder how flexible she must be to be able to sniff her own undercarriage. grin

absent Purely for research purposes, I just had to check. The price quoted on e-bay for this candle (now sold out) was over 400 Australian Dollars (or £231 if I have calculated correctly). So, those quick enough to buy stock early can now cash in. Maybe not so foolish!

There is an old stock market adage that some sardines are for eating and some are for trading. These are definitely for trading. Old socks and underwear? Recycling I think. smile

How do fools and their money get together in the first place?

Flowerofthewest Sat 18-Jan-20 02:15:13

Just checked out the candles (for a friend)
amazon sell Sweaty Fanny and Know Cheese candles. shock

Forget wasting perfectly good knickers. Just stuff a used panti pad in and envelope

“ Mind you, if a lot of GN 'ers did the same thing, we could flood the market!”

Especially if our knickers happen to be on the large side, Phoenix!

SueDonim love the connection thing! (Down/uppers/shoes)!

Must go through my cupboards for old shoes. Now, dare I google "worn knickers" .........

Could be a earner?

Mind you, if a lot of GN 'ers did the same thing, we could flood the market!

SueDonim Fri 17-Jan-20 20:34:34

Likewise for old women's’ shoes, Phoenix. That is, old shoes that have belonged to women, not shoes that have belonged to old women. Although I’m sure they’d be welcomed by some, too. grin

I only know this because a friend who was down on her uppers (see what I did there??) and was casting about for ways to make money happened upon an advert requesting such items. She got a ridiculous amount of money for some old, broken down plimsolls!

HiPpyChick57 Fri 17-Jan-20 20:18:08

Ew... imagine actually wanting your house to smell of fanny! ??‍♀️

phoenix Fri 17-Jan-20 19:26:21

The woman is obviously Dagenham, (next to Barking, wink)

Someone mentioned the worn (as in used) knickers being sold. I have it on very good authority that there is an active market for these,(on Ebay, would you believe!) and also vending machines for them in Japan shock

"A mix of geranium, bergamot, cedar, damask rose and ambrette seed"

aye very good hen, whoever told Gwynnie that her vagina smells like roses? I suspect it smells very much like any other vagina, but I don't think that fragrance would sell so well...

lemongrove Fri 17-Jan-20 19:10:05

GP and GOOP stuff is all a gigantic con trick, but you can hardly blame her, she puts anything out there for sale and idiots buy it.

maddyone Fri 17-Jan-20 19:05:00

Oh my God, this thread is so funny, my husband keeps asking me why I’m laughing.
GP must be completely mad, or maybe not, she must be coining it in. £58 for any candle seems a tad expensive, but one smelling of ........the world has gone completely mad!

Paperbackwriter Fri 17-Jan-20 18:18:31

Some male purchasers already complaining they can't find the wick... (Not original, sadly, got it from Twitter!)

SueDonim Fri 17-Jan-20 17:50:55

Well, that’s my dh’s next birthday present dilemma solved! I might have it personalised with my own odour. grin

Rosina Fri 17-Jan-20 16:08:45

Oh perlease!! That is gross - what is the matter with her? If your body is clean it doesn't smell at all, and if it isn't - urrrgh! Who wants a house to smell like that?
