jambat,
Absolutely PERFECT logic!
The Edge is a winner!But it needs covering Big-Time!
And assuming that your Realm is old and partially used, I think you\'re in for a treat.
I had a bottle of Realm for maybe two,three years. I liked it SO much that I made VERY sure that I had a new bottle before I ran out.My old bottle has a much RICHER,FULL-BODIED scent than does my new one.
I DO NOT at all think that the formula has changed, but that the cologne in the bottle has AGED and matured as if it were a wine or whiskey.Something about the blending,breathing,...whatever the liquid in the bottle does with the air,or alcohol cloud that forms within the container,makes this stuff(and perhaps all scents) smell BETTER.
You decant wine to bring out it\'s bouquet by exposing it to air.A chocolate milkshake gets its flavor by having a large percentage of air bubbles.I believe the same holds for colognes.
Can you imagine, a half bottle of Realm,vintage 1998 being auctioned for three,even four times the price of a fresh, full bottle!? But then, you\'d probably have to establish provenance.
