Brilliantine {{IPAc-en|ˈ|b|r|ɪ|l|j|ə|n|t|iː|n}} 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 (also known as Ed. Pinaud).{{Citation needed |date=November 2018}}
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 {{lang|fr|brillant}} meaning "brilliant") at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. It consisted of a perfumed and colored oily liquid.
Brillantine was used in Quebec, Canada as the French title for the film Grease.{{cite web|last1=Kleiser|first1=Randal|title=Grease|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077631/releaseinfo#akas|publisher=IMDb|date=16 June 1978}}
