Erykah Badu takes on Gwyneth Paltrow with vagina incense
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 6 February 2020
I’m not sure how much time you’ve spent wishing that your house smelled like a vagina. It’s hard to put a definite figure on things like that, isn’t it? But what if I told you that your house could now smell like two vaginas? Celebrity vaginas at that! Because if you managed to get hold of one of Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina candles, you can now add to it Erykah Badu’s vagina incense.
While Paltrow’s candle was designed to “put us in mind of fantasy, seduction, and a sophisticated warmth”, Badu’s incense seemingly aims to have more active results. She tells Ten Magazine: “There’s an urban legend that my pussy changes men. The men that I fall in love with, and fall in love with me, change jobs and lives”.
The incense will be sold through Badu’s soon-to-be-launched Badu World Market website, which will also sell all manner of clothing, healthcare and music merch products. As for how the incense was created, she explains: “I took lots of pairs of my panties, cut them up into little pieces and burned them. Even the ash is part of it … The people deserve it!”
I’m not sure how much underwear Badu had on hand to burn, but you have to assume this is going to be a fairly limited edition product. Especially as she says she no longer wears underwear, thus cutting off the supply. Paltrow’s candles were also produced in a short run and sold out straight away.
Also, if you thought Paltrow calling her candles ‘This Smells Like My Vagina’ was somewhat blunt, this new incense goes a step further, taking the punchy title of ‘Badu’s Pussy’.
