Brilliantine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brilliantine is a hair-grooming product and was created at the turn of the 20th century, when French perfumer Ed. Pinaud[1] 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 and was intended to soften men's hair, including beards and moustaches, and give it a glossy, well-groomed appearance.
