“Nearly everything worth paying attention to was made by someone who cared deeply about their craft. Caring enough to pursue mastery over years is how tacit knowledge develops. We wanted to capture that care in action.” — Tamara Winter
In this episode of Tacit, We spent time with Christophe Laudamiel, master perfumer at Osmo and the mind behind scents you already know by heart including Polo Blue, Abercrombie & Fitch Fierce, and Tom Ford’s Amber Absolute. This episode is part of Tacit, Stripe’s mini-doc series about mastery and the kind of knowledge you can’t Google. In perfumery, the real work lives in instinct—how a scent moves, shifts, settles, and becomes iconic over time. Grateful to help tell a story where craft leads the way. Christophe’s work demonstrates how mastery emerges through sustained engagement with complex systems. Tacit is a series about that kind of mastery, and why it matters.
