My experience:

This is a wonderful serum. A very rich and abundant serum. I have been using this serum exclusively for the last year 16+ months and I still have half a bottle left. This serum has a sweet scent to it, not overwhelming. It has lasting shine. Now my hair is pretty healthy so I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes as far as the shine lasting. I love this all throughout the relaxer cycle. I normally apply this after detangling with a spray leave in. I apply anywhere from a pea-size amount to a quarter-size amount depending on how I plan to style. If I am flat ironing, I find that I only need to use a little. If I am air drying, wet setting or ponytail drying I will add a larger amount. It helps me when I am air drying and keeps my hair from frizzing up. If I apply this prior to a wet set I have dazzling shine. When my NG is giving me the blues during long stretches I will sometimes dab extra to my NG and smooth it with a comb very gently. It really helps when I need an extra detangling boost.
