The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025, La Bomba by Carolina Herrera is designed to make a statement—celebrating the vibrant, unapologetic spirit of modern femininity. Created by Christophe Raynaud, Quentin Bisch, and Louise Turner, this Oriental Floral fragrance unfolds as a multi-sensory explosion of textures, colors, and emotions. The luscious dragon fruit (pitaya) at the top brings an exotic, juicy brightness that immediately captivates the senses. This vivacious opening melts into a lush heart of cherry peony, a floral accord brimming with elegance and sensuality. The fragrance settles into a soft, addictive base of vanilla, offering warmth and depth that linger long after the first impression.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for maximum impact. The top note of pitaya is bright but fades within an hour, so reapply if you want the full effect throughout the day. This fragrance reads better close to skin than in a room.

Christophe Raynaud
Architect first, craftsman secondChristophe Raynaud is a perfumer who describes himself as a craftsman with the sensitivity of an artist. He begins each fragrance with a raw olfactory block, working for hours to shape it as a sculptor would — first as architect, then as craftsman.
“At first, I am the architect, and then I become the craftsman.”
