MOH London Quixotic is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Pia Long. Quixotic opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Bitter Orange, settles into a heart of Grapefruit, Rose, Ylang-Ylang, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. MOH London's Quixotic carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A sparkling citrus with more backbone than most - bergamot, mandarin, orange, bitter orange and lemon, electrified by timut pepper, with basil, muguet and rose in the heart. Vetiver, moss and sandalwood give it a dry, polished finish, so it reads smarter than a typical summer citrus.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Quixotic bursts open with a vibrant, zesty kaleidoscope of bergamot, lemon, and bitter orange, tempered by a delicate hint of pepper. As it settles, the soft, elegant florals of rose and lily of the valley come through, with a subtle herbaceous twist of basil and a bitter grapefruit edge from nootkatone. The base grounds the composition in a creamy, earthy blend of sandalwood, cedar, and vetiver, with a whisper of musk and oakmoss providing a refined, lingering warmth.
