Same accord as Carolina Herrera La Bomba.
Different arithmetic.

On my second bottle
Started with the 5ml sample, now on my second full-size bottle. The oil concentration genuinely makes a difference to how long it lasts.

Made in Liverpool, UK. Vegan and cruelty-free. Not affiliated with Carolina Herrera; referenced here under honest comparative advertising, protected by the UK Trade Marks Act 1994 s.11(2)(b).

Formulated at 22-30% oil concentration, expect 6-10 hours from a single application. That matches or exceeds the longevity of most designer EDPs at 15-20% concentration.

We name Carolina Herrera La Bomba on this page on purpose.
Bombshell is not Carolina Herrera La Bomba. Carolina Herrera La Bomba is a registered trademark of Carolina Herrera; we are not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
