Thick conditioner/mask that smells heavenly

The scent is heavenly -it's floral, and it takes me back to the scents popular from the late 90s. The texture is very thick, and coats hair well with oils and other moisture and smoothing ingredients. My hair is dark, naturally has a slight wave, and not color treated. This is marketed as a fri...zz- reducing product - a mask - that you're supposed to leave in wet or dry hair for at least 10 minutes. In both scenarios, I tested this only on half of my head. When I sampled this, I saw similar results using it two ways. First way : I tried it on DRY HAIR on the right half of my head, using it before my shower. I used plenty and kept it on for well over 10 minutes. Honestly, it would have been easier to dampen my hair a bit then use it, so the product application would go farther and I wouldn't need to use as much, but I'll make my adjustment for next time. Second way: I tried it on DAMP HAIR on the right half of my head, after the shampoo, during the shower. I applied it for about 5 minutes. I wish I had ten minutes to spend in the shower just waiting for the time to pass. Trying to follow the directions is a bit annoying, but I'll test it again later to see if it makes a difference waiting for 3 minutes vs waiting for 10 minutes. Both ways I did not apply additional conditioner on either side. I did not apply any styling products. I air dried my usual way (slowly, with clips for an hour: right half had two sections, left half had two sections; then air dry the rest of the time). By the end of the evening, my hair had a good amount of volume BUT WAS NOT POOFY on the side with the product. The other side, my hair had a lot of volume, probably too much. It was noticeably bigger on the side with no product. To be totally fair, I tested this on the days it was rainy outside (extra humidity = extra volume) and I am in need of a haircut pretty soon. Yes, I did notice a difference in how my hair behaved. Future uses, I will probably use this as a standard conditioner - leaving it in maybe for 3-5 minutes instead of the 10.
