I do have to wonder as to who would spend $75 on a candle that supposedly smells like Gwyneth Paltrow's vagina.

After burning it for about three hours on his bedside table, he alleged the candle "exploded" and became "engulfed in high flames", according to a court document.
He said the blaze left a "black burn ring" on his bedside table and the candle jar was "charred and black".
However, no injuries were reported.
The complainant is seeking a jury trial and triple compensation as well as punitive damages of more than $5m (£3.5m) for him and others who "through no fault of their own, purchased defective and dangerous vagina-scented candles", the court document said.
A woman in the UK also alleged that her Goop candle exploded in January.
Writing in The Guardian, Jody Thompson said the product - which was the same model as the one bought by Mr Watson - exploded "a few minutes after" lighting it.
Unfortunately, this will be the legacy she leaves behind after she dies.
I highly doubt it. I’m sure she invented the candle scent as a funny thing. What’s wrong with that? It’s no different from the humorous items in Spencer gifts. But it’s just a small part of her Her legacy will be her children and her entire lifetime body of work, just like the rest of us.
How is 5 million for a burn on his bedside table justified in any way? Hopefully it gets thrown out.

That's exactly how it was created, as a joke. They just decided to let everyone in on that joke. They have other scented candles like an orgasm one. They're all sold out too. They're not cheap either at $75 each!
All sorts of people sue her. There's another guy suing her, saying she injured him while skiing. He wants 3 million! She counter sued for $1. He's claiming the only reason he's suing is because of how cold hearted she was, she didn't even see if he was ok or say she was sorry.

Gwyneth Paltrow is being sued by a man who claims that, on a slope in Park City, Utah, in February 2016, she carelessly ran him down and then “skied away.” Terry Sanderson, 72, is a retired optometrist who filed a lawsuit for just over $3 million, alleging that Paltrow skied into him from behind, “knocking him down, landing on top of him, and causing him to suffer a concussion, brain injury and four broken ribs.”
In a press conference on January 29, Sanderson and his lawyers, Lawrence D. Buhler and Robert B. Sykes, detailed their suit against Paltrow. They described her actions as the product of carelessness and cruelty. Sanderson claims that before the alleged collision, he “heard this just hysterical screaming like … King Kong in the jungle or something.”
The suit against Paltrow claims that due to the alleged “ski and run,” Sanderson suffered “physical and mental injuries” including “pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress and disfigurement,” as well as “anxiety, depression and other health problems.” The suit further claims that he “incurred medical expenses and additional life care expenses,” and that he will “continue to suffer injuries and damages in the future due to the negligence.”
Paltrow is not the only person being sued in this snowy fiasco. Sanderson is also suing Deer Valley Resort Company, where the accident took place, and Deer Valley ski instructor Eric Christiansen, who was allegedly with Paltrow at the time. Sanderson accused Christensen of yelling at him while he was injured on the ground, and the suit claims that he “later filed a false report to protect his client, Ms. Paltrow,” to make it appear at that Sanderson was at fault for the collision.

My concern would be someone that needs to buy a candle from a "lifestyle company" called "goop". Glad I'm not a Gen Z'er.
I looked the candle up and it apparently has floral scents, not... bodily fluid scents. That said, it's apparently horribly made for $75 if it exploded.
