• After selling out in a matter of hours, the candle will now have a waiting list

Gwyneth Paltrow has made a strong business out of her vagina, from 'sex dust moon juice' (us neither) to the whole jade vaginal egg thing, which got the platform embroiled in a lawsuit for 'unproven claims' and resulted in the platform paying out £112,000.

Most recently, we were given the vagina candle, which sold-out in a matter of hours, prompting a waitlist.

Well, fans will be pleased to hear that the now-infamous candle is now back in stock, available via the Goop website. Earlier this month, the entrepreneur said that displaying the item proudly on a coffee table was 'a punk rock statement', given 'the idea that women have been taught to have a certain amount of shame about their body'.

According to Paltrow, her 'This Smells Like My Vagina' candle is a 'funny, gorgeous, sexy, and beautifully unexpected scent', with 'geranium, citrusy bergamot, and cedar absolutes juxtaposed with Damask rose and ambrette seed'.

The goal, the Goop description optimistically reads, is 'to put us in mind of fantasy, seduction, and a sophisticated warmth'.

If you do manage to buy one through the waitlist, it'll cost £58.

The actress revealed how the idea for the controversial candle came about during an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers last month, explaining that she was initially joking when she suggested it.

Paltrow was appearing on the show to promote her new Netflix series, The Goop Lab, discussing one of episodes in which her team are seen trialling a psychedelic mushroom tea in Jamaica.

'Everyone signed up for that one,' she laughed, before joking that she was under the effects of said tea when she came up with the name for her candle.

'I smelled this beautiful thing and I said, "This smells like my vagina",' she explained. 'I was kidding. We were on mushrooms.'

Let us not forget that Paltrow's vagina products have landed the businesswoman in hot water before.

In September 2019, Goop paid £112,000 settlement in a lawsuit over vaginal eggs. The website had made unproven claims that the Jade Egg and the Rose Quartz Egg could 'balance hormones, regulate menstrual cycles, prevent uterine prolapse, and increase bladder control,' said the Orange County District Attorney's office in California. Not so, said the California Food, Drug and Medical Device Task Force, who argued that Goop's assertion wasn't based on scientific evidence.
