Deja Vu White Flower 57 is another one of the fragrances which came with the Kayali sample set that I purchased a few months ago. This was one, that I wasn’t sure if I was going to actually enjoy or not. But, I tested it out anyway. How does it smell? Does it last long? Is White Flower worth a try?

My Full Review
The opening of Deja Vu reminds me of something that’d be from the L’Interdit line of perfumes by Givenchy. The tuberose is joined by vanilla and some fruity notes which are unlisted. More background facets, but something else is there beyond the floral notes.
That initial sweet burst will burn off and this one becomes more floral, with a slight greenish aroma to it. Not too garden-like However, The tuberose is the most dominant of the floral note.
However, there will be periods throughout where the jasmine and gardenia are quite strong. The orange flower, is noticeable once the sweetness has faded a bit, but never comes close to taking the top spot.
The dry down is mostly the tuberose, with orange blossom and vanilla flanking the main attraction. The rest is a green flowery impression.
Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility
The sillage here is slightly above average. It’s not going to leave a massive trail, choke out a room, or radiate off of the skin to a great degree. It is however, noticeable, and gives you a 3-6 foot radius during the majority of the wear.
While Deja Vu is not super heavy, but has a pretty solid longevity versus others in the series. On my skin, this one could stick around for up to 7 hours. Maybe expect 5.5-7 hour as a range. Very useful, not elite.
Seasonally, this one strikes me as being best in the springtime, with autumn and summer being close alternatives. Really, anytime it isn’t too hot, Deja Vu should work just fine. it has a nice sweetness and vanilla, but isn’t thick enough to feel all that cloying, outside of miserably hot days.
This can be worn in a bunch of different scenarios. It can be a daily wear, layered with other fragrances, it’s attractive enough for the nightlife, etc. Mostly, this is a daytime wear for casual to semi-formal occasions.
Overall Impressions of Deja Vu White Flower
Overall, do I like Deja Vu? Yes, it was surprisingly my favorite perfume of the Kayali sampler. Maybe it shouldn’t be surprising since I enjoy the L’Interdit series and this is pretty much a simpler form of those perfumes.
The initial sweetness, fruitiness, and tuberose dominance is great. Even the dry down, when the other floral notes start to have their say, is still quite enjoyable.
The performance is better than most of the other fragrances and Deja Vu is a value proposition in comparison to the more linear Kayali perfumes. This one isn’t complex either, but it is one that you can wear on its own, if you decide not to try it as a part of the Kayali layering.
If you’re going to try any of this brand’s perfumes, this would be the one I’d most recommend or Vanilla.
