Years After Memorably Not Recognizing Any Of Her Own Goop Products, Gwyneth Paltrow Said She Had No Clue That Her Infamous Vagina Candle Would Actually Get Made

At the time, Gwyneth said that the divisive candle kind of came about “as a joke.” She shared, “One day, we were smelling different fragrances and I was joking around, and I smelled something and I said…” before pointing at the candle, which had “This Smells Like My Vagina” printed across the front. “But then I was like, wouldn’t that be cool if somebody actually had the guts to do that? What a punk-rock, feminist statement, to have that on your table. And then he* made it. I thought he just made me one as a joke, but then the next thing I knew, it was on my website,” she added.

Interestingly, this came shortly after Gwyneth — who later released candles called “This Smells Like My Orgasm” and “This Smells Like My Prenup” — seemingly knew nothing about a bunch of Goop products as she reacted to them live on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
