Smarm

Smarm was the name given to a particularly heavy and cloying hair grease worn by Indian men in the nineteenth century.

Thus a "smarmy" person is cloying, over-ingratiating, oleaginous ("oily"), close, and over-familiar.

"Who was that man who pretended to know you so well?"

"Oh, Kenneth. Ignore him. He confuses charm with smarm."
