    Interesting touch with the brilliantine. I thought of "Old Spice" and Brut - they signify the decades -

    He looked at himself twice,
    then splashed on his cheeks
    Old Spice, it brought a wave
    of memory that would have crashed upon his feeling of
    vulnerability to the weeks left passing by,if she did not appear at the door, with the same incredibly beautiful smile on her face and looked at him without a single regret.
