In Today’s News, One Of Gwyneth Paltrow’s ‘Vagina’ Candles Reportedly Exploded In A UK Home
Just a heads up, Gwyneth Paltrow’s ‘vagina’ candle may come with some explosive side-effects.
In news I really didn’t think I’d be reporting on today, a UK resident has reported that one of Gwyneth Paltrow’s infamous “This Smells Like My Vagina” candles exploded in her home. No, I’m not making this up. Honestly, you couldn’t if you tried.
In an interview, Jody Thompson told The Sun, that the candle randomly exploded. “The candle exploded and emitted huge flames, with bits flying everywhere,” the 50-year-old woman said. “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.”
My immediate reaction:
Jody Thompson hadn’t actually purchased the candle herself. In fact, the Kilburn media consultant actually won the “This Smells Like My Vagina” candle through a quiz. The candles themselves can be purchased from Gwyneth Paltrow’s store, Goop, for $75 USD per candle.
After it exploded, Jody Thompson and her partner David Snow had to throw the candle out the front door for their safety. “It could have burned the place down. It was scary at the time, but funny looking back that Gwyneth’s vagina candle exploded in my living room,” Thompson said with a positive outlook on the whole experience.
There you have it, it looks like we’re never going to escape this infamous candle. According to the Goop website, the “This Smells Like My Vagina” is “made with geranium, citrusy bergamot, and cedar absolutes juxtaposed with Damask rose and ambrette seed to put us in mind of fantasy, seduction, and a sophisticated warmth.”
Furthermore, according to the site, the candle started as a “joke” between perfumer Douglas Little and Gwyneth Paltrow. “The two were working on a fragrance, and she blurted out, “Uhhh..this smells like a vagina’ — but evolved into a funny, gorgeous, sexy, and beautifully unexpected scent. (That turned out to be perfect as a candle.)”
