The candle cost $75 and, obviously, immediately sold-out after its announcement went viral.
I kind of get it. Like, I don't want to pay $75 for this candle, but I'm also kind of intensely curious about the name.
Responding to a comedian who suggested The Rock should release his own genital-scented candle, the actor replied, "Brother I tried to make those candles but I kept burning my balls. I moved onto shampoo."
Well, Gwyneth has just told the story, and it's not what you might expect. When Seth Meyers asked her how the name came to be, Gwyneth revelead that while testing scents, "I smelled this beautiful thing and I said, ‘This smells like my vagina.’ I was kidding. We were on mushrooms,” she joked.
She also added that she thought the name was "a little bit punk rock," since women grow up feeling a certain amount of shame around their bodies.
Honestly, she's not wrong!
