Chef Will Birge

A man wakes to his alarm, it’s 4 am. Time to get going. He throws on his activewear and proceeds to take his morning jog through his garage. As the door opens, a cool fresh breeze hits him. Wild thunderstorms and rain shook the house the night before. The morning is still damp, tree clutter and shrubs on the concrete. Mulch displaced, plants broken, flower’s petals displaced from their landscape. The smell is refreshing, cleansing, and anew.

The man returns from his home and brews himself his morning tea. He enjoys a few of his favorite citrus fruits and a bowl of oats. With the energy gained from the jog, the healthy fuel in his body; and his will to never falter; he will conquer today.

He freshens up in the shower, a tranquil calming bar of soap freshens him. He plots his day, multitasking in his head. Ready for any twists and turns. Ready to do what it takes.

He sprays his powerful fragrance laced with different tobaccos, moss, and woods. The tamed smell of wild animals gives him the ferocity and confidence to be the Alpha Male.

The man dresses in his bespoke navy suit. He ties his half Windsor knot and tightens his hand-made leather belt. He proceeds to work, getting into his vehicle. The smell of sweet suede and the new car hit his nose as he sits. He places his Oliver Peoples shades over his eyes, he cracks a smile, puts the car in 1st gear and the greatest day begins.
