I was expecting tuna, shrimp and oyster sauce. That's a very misogynist comment I hate this idea and this running commentary that female genitals always smell like fish. As much as I may think Paltrow has kooky ideas, I feel fairly confident in thinking that she washes her genitals at least on a daily basis, so no, I would not expect that. Nor is that what mine smells like - or any woman who has normal/good hygiene.

I think I’m more stunned by the fact that it’s a votive that people are paying $75 for. I don’t care what it smells like.

How exactly does one smell one's own vagina? I am not confident that I have the flexibility to make that happen.

According to the article: “With a funny, gorgeous, sexy, and beautifully unexpected scent, this candle 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.” I think it sounds quite nice. Not that I'd spend a cent on anything that nutcase is selling. But still. What the hell does she do? Stick a potpourri sachet up her vajayjay?! Bleh I need eye bleach. right after it’s vajazzled?

I was reading the comments and thinking that if so many women think that vaginas are gross and stinky then it's really not Gwyneth that's doing something wrong.
If your vagina is gross get yourself to a doctor or a shower.

Did anyone watch the series House of Lies with Kirsten Bell and Don Cheadle? Was so hilarious - but dark and totally ronchy too. In one episode they want to represent a company that makes a perfume that smells like vagina. Someone sprays it in the room and then whenever anyone enters the room the new character would turn up his nose and look at Kirsten bell‘a character and say things like are you ok today or are you having an issue today. It was so gross. And hilarious.

None of my friends know about Goop or vaginal scented candles either. But it’ll give me something to talk about on my next girls’ night out! So maybe these should be my little 'girlfriend gifts' for our next getaway? (Not.) Maybe the whole goop thing is a social experiment prank to see if fools and their money can easily be parted! Even the name of it is stupid. She’s laughing all the way to the bank. I've long suspected this. Now, if she sold a candle called “Smells Like Chris Martin’s Ballsack,” it would sell out almost immediately. I think her target market would find that scent much more intriguing. Remember the 2Peas ballsack sniffing pea fiasco? Good times.

Yeah Perez Hilton is calling out someone else for being outrageous. That’s rich.

I'm more amazed that Perez Hilton is still a thing. I had no idea he was still around.

I took it as a joke. Yet I still loathe Goop. Of course, my sil gave a a Tom Ford candle called Fucking Fabulous.

I have a theory that Gwyneth is actually a huge jokester and that she sits around with her friends drinking wine (ethically and organically sourced made from grapes watered with filtered pee of unicorns, of course) and coming up with some of this crazy stuff. Maybe they make bets and she loses a lot or they play truth or dare.
Donning my tin foil hat for this one: Gwyneth IS in fact sanctimommy and when she is bored and has a little downtime, likes to satirize her own public persona.

I am sorry for the fish comment.
I still think that suggesting that her genital area has a smell that is just wrong.
As most have posted, genital area should have no odor and other thanwhat is normal for that person.

I’m not her fan by any long shot. However the movie Country Strong blew me away with her performance. She can act.
As far as the candle, she’s got it being talked about, and flying off her virtual shelves, even at that crazy price, so smart move.
And I don’t mind someone working to associate our vaginas with lovely smells, as opposed to all the unpleasant things said over the centuries, which were a way of men putting women down.

Good lord, this woman has completely jumped the shark. I loved the spoof of her on Parks and Rec, The character’s website was Bloosh and her big thing was “beef milk”. I did not realize they were lampooning Goop! “I love your hair”. “Thank you. It’s genetic and unattainable.”

Did you ever see Mira Sorvino on Modern Family? This is hysterical and a total spoof of Gwynneth/Goop you tube Mira video

Remember when the mom from Everybody Loves Raymond took a class and made a sculpture? I want the candle to look like that

I like her as an actress but everything I've seen of her in real life proves over and over how completely out of touch with reality she is. And why should she be in touch with reality? Her entire job is about creating and acting out unrealities.
Meh. Whatever makes her happy. Makes me happy to laugh at her disconnected idiocy.

But I think Chris Martin has a much bigger fan base than she ever had, and certainly more than hubby #2 Brad Falchuk, hence the suggestion. I doubt many/anyone would buy a candle named after Falchuk.

I think the bigger question is, who actually is the crazy one... Gwyneth Paltrow for gaining so much publicity and lining her pockets with dollars for selling trash or the people who spend their money on" sustainable Toilet Paper Rolls" and “This Smells Like My Vagina .” scented candles?
I know who I think is the craziest!

Has anyone watched her new Netflix series? Oh, and aren't we happy for her to be " okay with being polarizing?"
