Carolina Herrera La Bomba Intensa ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 10 June 2026 14 Comments

Carolina Herrera will launch La Bomba Intensa, a new fragrance for women. La Bomba Intensa is a flanker to last year's La Bomba.

Meet La Bomba Intensa, the new intense perfume by Carolina Herrera that turns up the volume on spontaneity, emotion and unapologetic glamour. A daring new twist on La Bomba, this floral ambery fruity perfume captures the thrill of living feeling everything fully; louder, deeper, brighter.

***

The olfactory journey begins with juicy wild berries, giving the scent the addictive brightness of a berry perfume with a striking raspberry-red perfume mood. At the heart, Venezuelan orchid brings lush floral richness, sensual and opulent without losing its joyful Herrera energy. Finally, red amber gives the composition warmth, depth and a powerful finish.

Created by master perfumers Christophe Raynaud, Louise Turner and Quentin Bisch, La Bomba Intensa amplifies the emotional energy of the original La Bomba while introducing a completely new creationolfactive [sic] expression: more theatrical, more passionate, more intense.

Carolina Herrera La Bomba Intensa will be available in 30, 50 and 80 ml Eau de Parfum.

      The opaque cylindrical part is the removal cap and the wings is the bottle. Looks great but really awkward to hold and spritz without risking dropping.

      This pic from CH site might make glass vs cap clearer?

      Oh, I just had a small sample of it in the gift bag a friend gave to me, and it was an instant scrubber, sorry to say! Very sweet and potent!

        For my huge sweet tooth I found the sweetness pretty manageable. Now I am wondering how many times I have walked around smelling like a sugar jar and with a trail of ants following me. 🤣

    Creationolfactive? What? Also, what an ugly bottle…a placenta with a cap?

      It is a butterfly. There is also now a butterfly ring but I don’t yet understand how it holds fragrance…I just know that it does.

        I’d be afraid it would squelch in my hand when I picked it up

    Looks like folks didn’t learn the lesson about form vs function from the original Bvlgari Omnia bottle.

      If you place the bottle on the wings, it’s just a regular bottle with a cap on it. The magic of merchandising 👍🏻
