Gwyneth Paltrow believes her infamous vagina-scented candle didnt get its due.

The Shakespeare in Love star, who launched her lifestyle company Goop in 2008 to continued criticism over its costly and controversial products , now claims her most viral item, a candle released in 2020 called This Smells Like My Vagina, was punk rock.

So many women have been raised, at least in my generation, to think theres something wrong with themselves or that the vagina is weird or gross or something to be ashamed of, the Oscar winner said in a now-expired Instagram post Wednesday that was reshared on TikTok by Access Hollywood.

The candle is supposed to be a very strong punk-rock kind of F-you to anyone who ever made us feel like that, said Paltrow, who created a limited-edition version last year called Hands Off My Vagina to mark the 49th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade ruling.

Paltrow claimed her candle was never meant to actually smell like anyones vagina, and that the point was to surprise people all along with a welcoming scent of bergamot, geranium and cedar juxtaposed with damask rose and ambrette seed .

At least two people have claimed the candle exploded in their homes.

People tried to make it about something else, which is kind of a shame because it was really meant to be this strong feminist statement, Paltrow said in the video. But we no longer make the candle.
