Our LA BOMBA Fragrance Oil is 98% close to the original LA BOMBA perfume launched by the Carolina Herrera brand in 2016. It has the same notes as are present in the original scent profile. Top notes are Almond, Coffee, Bergamot and Lemon; middle notes are Tuberose, Jasmine Sambac, Orris, Orange Blossom and Bulgarian Rose; base notes are Roasted Tonka Bean, Cacao, Vanilla, Praline, Sandalwood, Amber, Musk, Cashmere Wood, Cinnamon, Patchouli and Cedar.

Technical Reconstruction & Analysis
As a Senior Fragrance Chemist, I have analyzed this oil to ensure molecular stability and precise replication of the original olfactive pyramid. The formula utilizes high-purity Hedione to achieve the necessary floral transparency in the heart, allowing the Jasmine Sambac to diffuse without becoming indolic. We incorporate Iso E Super to provide a velvety, woody scaffold that supports the heavy base notes. The roasted effect of the Tonka Bean is achieved through Coumarin crystallization, ensuring a linear evaporation curve that prevents the scent from collapsing into a simple sugar note.
How It Performs
This fragrance oil achieves a superior performance profile compared to ethanol-based sprays. Because it lacks the high volatility of SD alcohol, there is no sharp alcohol spike upon application. The oil remains on the stratum corneum, creating a consistent sillage that radiates through body heat. Expect 10-12 hours of longevity on the skin and 24+ hours on fabric. The sillage is moderate to heavy, depending on the application points.
Best Times to Wear
La Bomba is optimized for temperatures between 5°C and 18°C. The high concentration of gourmand fixatives like Praline and Cacao makes it ideal for winter and autumn evening wear. In high humidity, the molecular density of the base notes becomes more pronounced, making it a definitive choice for formal indoor events or date nights.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| 98% accuracy to the original profile | Lacks the initial alcohol “blast” projection |
| 12+ hour skin longevity due to low volatility | Too dense for high-temperature summer use |
| Rich, buttery texture with no chemical harshness | Requires 30 seconds to settle on skin |
How It Compares
The primary advantage of this oil is the maceration process. While mass-marketed sprays are often bottled immediately, our oil undergoes a controlled maturation period to allow the aldehydes and esters to bond. This results in a smoother transition from the citrus top notes to the lactonic heart. The molecular weight of our carriers ensures that the fixatives, specifically the Ambroxan and Ethyl Vanillin, do not evaporate prematurely, providing a richer dry-down than the original EDP.
What Customers Say
“The accuracy is remarkable. I applied it at 8 AM and can still detect the cocoa and tuberose notes clearly at 9 PM. It is much smoother than the spray version.”
“Excellent for layering. It lacks that synthetic sting found in alcohol perfumes and feels like a high-grade professional raw material.”
Any Questions?
Is this oil safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, it is formulated following IFRA standards and contains no dehydrating alcohol, which reduces the risk of contact dermatitis.
What is the price in local currency?
The 10ml concentrated oil is priced at Rs. 1,200, providing significantly more applications than a standard 50ml spray.
Does the scent change over time?
The scent is highly stable. Due to the absence of ethanol, the oxidation rate is slowed, maintaining the integrity of the 11 base notes for over 24 months if stored correctly.
