Gwyneth Paltrow has a defiant message for detractors of her controversial Goop brand candle priced at $75—a product that, quite literally, captures the essence of her femininity. Her response? If you don’t like it, “Take a hike!”

What began as a light-hearted joke eventually morphed into a cultural phenomenon, achieving viral fame and provoking animated discussions across social media.
Despite the candle being pulled from shelves, its audacious concept inspired a range of offbeat variations, including the likes of “This Smells Like My Orgasm” and “This Smells Like My Prenup,” along with Goop’s 2022 offering, “Hands Off My Vagina.”
In Gwyneth Paltrow’s view, the vagina candle is emblematic of a punk rock ethos, and it’s clear she’s prepared to champion its unconventional legacy with unwavering passion.
