Amorphous / Black Baccara
Gothic and Victorian artisan perfume oils.
Amorphous, also known as Black Baccara, is an American indie fragrance house founded in 2010 by Kalliope Amorphous — artist, photographer, and perfumer — who channels gothic romanticism and Victorian occult aesthetics into small-batch perfume oils. Operating from the United States, the house creates compositions that draw from the olfactory vocabulary of dark florals, incense, damp earth, vintage leather, and medicinal herbs, building scents that appeal to alternative subcultures including goth, darkwave, and occult communities as well as mainstream fragrance collectors seeking unconventional olfactory experiences. Kalliope formulates and bottles the fragrances herself in concentrated oil format, maintaining complete creative control over every aspect of production. The range includes evocatively named compositions that function as sensory portraits of specific aesthetic worlds rather than conventional fragrance family types. Distribution is direct through the brand's own website, reflecting the indie perfumery model of close maker-to-customer relationships. Black Baccara represents a genuinely distinctive voice in American indie perfumery.
