Gwyneth Paltrow's candle 'This Smells Like My Vagina' sold out within moments of its launch

Apparently, the scent used in the candle initially started as a joke between Paltrow and the perfume maker, Heretic Parfum

Gwyneth Paltrow is selling a candle that smells like a vagina. Yes, you heard it right. What's more, it is completely sold out and if you want to get a whiff of it, you have to register yourself on a waiting list. Weird as it may sound, it is true. The academy award winner has come up with a candle named, 'This Smells Like My Vagina.'

The candle caught the fancy of netizens but even had some celebrities talking about it, including Dwayne Johnson. Paltrow began the sale of the 10.5-ounce candle called "This Smells Like My Vagina Candle" on Goop's website, and soon it was sold out completely.

What's the secret behind the candle?

The candle, priced at $75 USD, is a complete sell-out on Goop's webstore, which has now started a waiting list for its customers. The 'fragrance' was created by Heretic Parfum, a perfume maker, in collaboration with the actress.

Goop, an American natural health company owned by Paltrow, describes the candle as: '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.'

Apparently, the scent used in the candle initially started as a joke between Paltrow and the perfume maker. Goop went on to reveal the history behind the origin of the product: "This candle started as a joke between perfumer Douglas Little and GP—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."

According to the website, the brand did a test run for the candle during the 'In Goop Health summit' where it was sold out within hours. "It's a blend of geranium, citrusy bergamot, and cedar absolutes juxtaposed with Damask rose and ambrette seed that puts us in mind of fantasy, seduction, and a sophisticated warmth," said the description.

It's Dwayne's 'scent of sac' vs 'This Smells Like My Vagina.'

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson had an epic reply for the candle. Comedian Adam Ray posted a screenshot of a Page Six report on the candle with a caption: "It was only a matter of time until normal scented candles would be out of style. Your move Yankee Candle Co. Time to get [Johnson] to sell candles that smell like his balls. Price is Right ONE DOLLAR her, and sell them for $74."

The post quickly caught Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's fancy who replied: "Brother I tried to make those candles... but I kept burning my balls. So I moved on to shampoo. #scent of sac." Not to be outdone Gwyneth went a step ahead and commented: "This is f*****g priceless #deceased."
