Elton John is considered to have damn good taste – we mean he did help launch the careers of Aussie legends PNAU and Ruel, so musically he is ~on the ball~. But it turns out his scent sensitivities are a lot more unusual than expected.

ICYMI, Gwenyth Paltrow’s wellness company Goop recently released a sold-out candle called “This Smells Like My Vagina”, and apparently Elton is a big fan.

Now, first up who would want to whiff Gwenyth’s vagine on the reg? Can’t lie, it’s an intriguing flavour… Like what bodily cultures are we harnessing here? But more so, what compelled the pop piano legend Elton John to purchase not one, but apparently a tonne of them?

According to The Cut, the 72-year-old is obsessed with the scent. Douglas Little, a Heretic perfumer behind the outlandish flav, told the publication, “Elton John bought a tonne of them. Like a lot. Like, a lot a lot. He’s a fan,” he said.

“We have been hounded and stalked by so many people [trying to get one]. I saw the candle being sold on eBay for a ridiculous price,” he continued.

Sounds like this candle is hot property! We wanna say “get your hands on it” but that somewhat feels wrong…

Little went on to explain the inspiration behind the one-of-a-kind waft.

“The idea was to do something that was voluptuous and sensual and also provocative and fun,” he said.

We guess it’s fun? It’s definitely down to personal taste for sure, but we haven’t lit this candle yet so who really know.

Maybe the smell is absolute dynamite. Or should we say, vaginamite...
