Brillantine
Brilliantine/ˈbrɪljəntiːn/ is a hair-grooming product intended to soften men's hair, including beards and moustaches, and give it a glossy, well-groomed appearance. It was created at the turn of the 20th century by French perfumier Édouard Pinaud (a.k.a. Ed. Pinaud).
In English-speaking markets, Pinaud's name is associated with the Clubman tradename in men's toiletries. He presented a product he called Brillantine (from the French brillant meaning "brilliant") at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. It consisted of a perfumed and colored oily liquid.
