Tkliwi Nihilisci

Tkliwi Nihiliści first existed as an internet space for more than a decade before its creators established a perfumery workshop out of longing for an earlier world. Its name and online profile predated the perfume releases, with Kamil Zając credited with creating the profile name. The brand’s identity combines a retro-inflected aesthetic with emotional distance, articulated through its Decalogue of the Tender Nihilist. It develops limited collections and handmade presentation objects, making perfume part of a broader image-making project. Karol Jaśkowiak is the author of its fragrance compositions. Élan Vital Rouge and Élan Vital Vert mark a later creative phase linked to Henri Bergson’s concept of élan vital, understood as a foundation for spiritual and artistic activity and presented as an expression of the brand’s creative evolution.
