If you somewhat were not aware, Goop sells a candle that smells like Gwyneth Paltrowโ€˜s vagina. Said candle, apparently explode in a British womanโ€™s home, and now she canโ€™t get rid of the smell of a burnt Gwyneth Paltrowโ€˜s vagina.

Jody Thompson, a 50-year-old media consultant based in London, told The Sun on Monday that the candle combusted in her home after winning the product as a prize for an online quiz.

โ€œThe candle exploded and emitted huge flames, with bits flying everywhere,โ€ she recalled. โ€œIโ€™ve never seen anything like it. The whole thing was ablaze and it was too hot to touch. There was an inferno in the room.โ€

Thompson and her partner, David Snow, worked together to handle the situation and decided to toss the candle outside their home.

โ€œWe eventually got it under control and threw it out the front door,โ€ she told the outlet.

Even though Thompson said the candle โ€œcould have burned the place downโ€ and โ€œwas scary at the time,โ€ she admitted to finding the situation โ€œfunnyโ€ in retrospect.

Thompson didnโ€™t provide details on how her candle โ€œexploded.โ€ However, there is a warning to only โ€œburn candle within sightโ€ and to โ€œkeep away from things that catch fireโ€ on the Goop website. The statement also offers advice such trimming the โ€œwick to 1/8โ€ฒ before every lighting,โ€ placing โ€œon a stable heat resistant surface,โ€ and not burning for โ€œmore than two hours at a time.โ€
