Déjà Vu White Flower 57

Some fragrances announce themselves with drama. Others arrive more quietly, as if they have been waiting in the room all along. Déjà Vu White Flower | 57 belongs to the second category. The opening feels almost cinematic: a brief flash of fruit—pear and nectarine, pale and sunlit—like the first moment when afternoon light hits a white wall. The gardenia appears just behind it, creamy but restrained, the way certain flowers smell when they are still on the branch and the air is warm. Then the room fills. Tuberose moves in first. Not violently, not in the indolic, nocturnal way tuberose sometimes insists on itself, but with a quiet authority. Jasmine follows—luminous, almost liquid—and orange blossom lifts everything slightly upward, the way a breeze lifts a curtain. At this point the fragrance feels suspended in a kind of floral gravity. The flowers are dense but not heavy, layered like white silk over white silk. What makes the composition interesting is the undercurrent of warmth waiting beneath it. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, vanilla begins to surface. Not pastry vanilla, not the sugared version that has become so common in modern perfumery, but something softer, closer to warm skin. Cashmere wood and sandalwood smooth the edges of the bouquet until the florals feel less like flowers and more like atmosphere. You notice this change not immediately but gradually, the way evening arrives in a warm city. By the drydown, the scent has shifted from a bouquet to a memory of one. The tuberose is still there, but quieter now, wrapped in vanilla and wood. The fruit that opened the fragrance has disappeared completely, leaving only the faint suggestion that it was once present. The overall effect is strangely familiar. Not because it resembles something specific, but because the structure feels like a recollection of white florals rather than the flowers themselves. Which is, perhaps, the point. The fragrance is called Déjà Vu, after all. And wearing it feels a little like remembering a moment you cannot quite place—an evening, a room full of warm light, the faint scent of flowers somewhere near.

Deja Vu was not on my radar at all. My fiancé bought this for me after smelling it on another woman (yes awkward, and yes he was briefly in the dog house). I finally gave into his pleas and wore it for a formal black-tie event. To my nose it just smelled like an ultra sweet white floral; pleasant, but nothing to run home about. Fast-forward to the actual event, I got asked 3x in one night what I was wearing, and was constantly told how good I smelled. I also noticed multiple people during conversations inching closer, and closer too. Jumping to the next morning while putting my dress away for dry-cleaning, I got a whiff of what everyone else was smelling... MY GOD Deja-Vu is heavenly. It is innocent, yet seductive at the same time. The dry-down is actually an ultra sweet, nectarine crystalized vanilla with a kiss of sandalwood (though everyone screams about white florals)... The white florals are still in the background which keeps the sweetness linear, but the woody-vanilla notes are the standout stars of the show. So while yes nose-to-skin this smells like synthetic florals or may not be impressive, HOWEVER the scent trail this leaves is a seductive sweet dance of vanilla and sandalwood. This is a perfume that you wear for the sillage, not for you to smell on up close and yourself if that makes sense... I have been stalking the site for the 100mls to pop back up so I can buy a literal lifetime supply because this gem is back-up bottle worthy, and I don't want to deal with the disappointment of reformulation/discontinuation.

THIS IS A GORGEOUS TIMELESS KAYALI BOMB ! A true ode to Femininity, the masterpiece of the brand to me ! Will be repurchasing immediately to stock up ( since in Indonesia is still available ). I've fallen in love and literally dried up my bottle already, i keep reaching for it every, single, day! OHHH the essence of woman that transudes, WOW. I can see how many say it's a mature scent, sure i agree. But it's light, it's sweet, it's rich, it's sensuous, elegant TIMELESS. Kayali called it Deja Vu indeed, probably because it's inspired by all the timeless, most successful Female perfumes of the last 300 years or more ( if we think of Santa Maria Novella in Florence we go back to 1221 ), but this fragrance REALLY ELEVATES WHITE FLOWERS to the best of their potential. When you have Tuberose , Jasmine, Orange Blossom and Gardenia together, it could easily become too much, but it's done so AMAZINGLY that it never is here. Leave it to settle for 5 minutes on skin and it will resemble a classical music concert of the best orchestra, one of those you are lucky to see once in your lifetime, and when you hear the harmony of it, you are so filled by its music that you smile clapping, violently amazed at what humans can do. YES, KAYALI for bringing back eternal taste, not just the modern commercial sugary gourmands everyone wants now. THIS IS PERFUMERY, please we want to see more of you in this notes. Divine. Beautiful. Timeless. Addictive. Say what you want but this is Amazing !

Ok...I absolutely hated this fragrance when bought it - detested and loathed it, because it reminded me of JPG Scandal (the perfume with the little legs as a lid.) which I found unbearably cloying. I bought the 10ml and gave it away to my little sister - UNTIL, I gave it another sniff when the perfume had time to mature. This is a beautiful fragrance - it's a well blended white floral that has a nice hint of pear and has a woody dry drown. This is stunning! I have to admit, I hated Kayali at one point, but always found myself smelling her fragrances even-though I already established that I hated the entire line. I noticed Kayali's fragrances smell so good once the juice matures and settles - for someone who hated Kayali before, I can tell you it takes some time to appreciate some of her fragrances. Sweet Diamond is my number 1, then its Dejavu, then pistachio gelato. I love her line, not every single fragrance she's done is a win, but I have learned to appreciate the notes in her perfumes. This is a lovely spring/summer day or night fragrance that lasts hours. It has an oily dry down, thats how you know the fragrance will last for sometime. longevity: 8/10 Sillage: 7.5/10 projection: 8/10 fragrance as a whole: 8/10.

Im a super soaker and was wearing a black shirt. That means you can go in ham spritzing the clothing bc it wont get stained. I started with 64 squirts of Déjà Vu White Flower. I got 2 compliments. One came from a guy. The other came from a woman. The lady not only told me I smelled nice but went a step further & asked what I was wearing. I never gate keep bc love gives. She asked me did I have the fragrance on me. Y'all KNOW I did! She had never heard of Kayali previously and asked could she buy it at Macy's. I told her I got it from Sephora. I was about to ask her if she wanted me to spray some on her, however she beat me to the punch. With the green light I sprayed both her hands and her jacket. She got 12 squirts total and hopefully she can enjoy this white floral delight on her clothes for days to come. She opened up her phone and showed me that she was going to order their discovery set. This is my MOST worn fragrance this year. I still love my Ambrosia Imperiale, Valaya, Carmina, TriBeCa, Ce Noir, Hibiscus Mahajád, & Vanille Leather but this Kayali get worn the most. Almost time for a new 100ml bottle! I have 10 Kayali fragrances but this is my fav.

I recently got the Kayali layering set and if I'm honest, I wasn't expecting much from this one. I am pleasantly surprised at how much I like it. It is sweet and fruity, first and foremost. If you don't like that, then this isn't the fragrance for you. The sandalwood, cashmeran and patchouli aren't too heavy at any point but there to give nice depth. For me, the nectarine has remained very prominent the entire day I've been wearing it which I love. Mixed with the florals, and light woody notes, it keeps the fruity scent from smelling too ... bodyspray-ish (not that there's anything wrong with fruity bodysprays. I have a few myself). I personally feel like this scent would do well in any weather. The fruitiness makes it ideal for spring and summer but the woodiness and vanilla make it fine for winter and fall. I feel like it's more of a day scent for my tastes. This has lasted a good 7 hours on me. I gave 3 sprays (each wrist and neck) and it radiates about arm's length. Nothing overpowering. As the day's gone on it gets a bit closer but projects a little. Nice little scent bubble.

Not sure why Deja Vu White Flower 57 doesn't receive more attention! I've owned several Kayali Perfumes in the recent past. I like "Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar." However, to my nose, Deja Vu White Flower 57 is different because it doesn't have the uber-vanilla, densely sweet DNA of most Kayali fragrances. So, Deja Vu White Flowers is a mixed, white floral fragrance with prominent (but muted) tuberose, gardenia and sweet orange blossom at its core. Fortunately for me, any opening citrus notes quickly dissipate. The base is your typical white floral base of musk, vanilla, amber, etc, etc. Deja Vu White Flower 57 wears in an ethereal, gentle, sheer and transparent way despite its white floral notes. The fragrance is not thick, dense, syrupy, or cloying. The drydown is creamy, woody, not super-resinous, somewhat powdery. I'm actually surprised at how much I like this fragrance. But with that said, I find the fragrance FRUSTRATING because longevity and overall performance are EXTREMELY POOR. Just had to keep reapplying throughout the day to maintain a level of fragrance that I like.

I love white florals! If you love white florals you will love this! It reminds me of Gucci gardenia ! But different in its own way ofcourse! The perfect adjective to use for this scent is “beautiful”!!! The name de ja vu fits it SO PERFECTLY! It’s like imagine a fantasy where you have your hair out and your gardening and basking in the sun or a really nostalgic memory! So so romantic and feminine! This is what it smells like! I might even like it more than Gucci gardenia ! It’s just heaven! 🥹💖🧚🏻♀️I think this has what wedding silk Santal is missing! Wedding silk is just a very “perfume” scent in a bottle - but this is almost like wedding silk Santals superior ! The white florals just add a layer of notes it was missing! It just smells mesmerising! Kayali Musk Bouquet is just as amazing - they’re both a draw to me! one is not better than the other- maybe because they do smell similar 🤔 overall it’s my top 3 all time fave kayali perfume! It’s a shame it’s not as viral as vanilla 28 . This deserves so much more love ! ❤️

At first sniff I was thinking this is to heavy and sickening for me. I’m normally more fan of fresher, lighter scents. But after a few tests I was falling in love and was reaching for it more and more often. Now I have to smell the bottle every time I pass it, and I miss it when I’m not wearing it. I’m wearing it today at work and I keep smelling my wrist. I get some gourmand vanilla (not powdery) and som faint patchouli, but not the white florals at all. This is definitely a yummy gourmand scent. The best I’ve tried from Kayali so far. Can’t wait to get home and sniff the bottle again! Update: Initially I didn’t get any white florals, but after I started layering it with Vanilla 28 (which I ADORE) the white florals came through. It still is one of my top 3 favorites from Kayali (The other two being Vanilla 28 and Vanilla Royal Sugared Patchouli). Still in love! ❤️

Its not super unique or something absolutely new, but its definitely beautiful. I can smell the Orange Blossom, Jasmine and Musky Vanilla here the most with a little fruitiness, probably from pear and i can smell patchouli. I usually dislike pachouli, but it doesnt bother me in this fragrance at all. As of comparison to me it smells similar to Memo Paris Granada but with more soft feminine vanilla, while Granada has a little sour note of Grenadine. Also another one it reminds me of is Givenchy L'Interdit but more orange blossom and musky vanilla. Overall its a very good quality fragrance, with amazing longevity and sillage. I got a compliment the first time I wore it layered with few sprays of Kayali Vanilla. Its very feminine and seductive combo. I will be buying another bottle since I have about 1/3 left in the bottle from selling decants.

I’m not usually a lover of white florals, but this fragrance completely changed my mind. I blind-bought this as an early Valentine’s gift for my best friend, and the moment we sprayed it together, we both instantly fell in love. It opens with a beautiful fruity sweetness, innocent and soft, but what surprised me most was how it quickly blossoms into something delicate yet undeniably sexy. IMO it manages to feel fresh and clean without ever being boring, like a pretty secret you want to lean in closer to discover. This scent is elegant, playful, and surprisingly addictive. Even though I normally avoid white floral fragrances, this one has earned a permanent spot in my favorites. I absolutely loved it and got myself a bottle as Im writing this review

Glad to know my nose isn't playing tricks on me! This has been on my skin for 2 hours, initial spray reminded me of something like Guerlain Terracotta but not as strong or sweet, or TF Soli kind of vibes... but that changed 30 mins in and all I could smell was Roberto Cavalli Signature, but Déjà Vu White Flower is sweater and lighter than RC, much nicer in a sub tropical humid climate! Years ago RC was my favourite scent, but I found I didn't get to wear it much due to living in a hot climate, Déjà Vu White Flower would be perfect for my winter and autumn... I wonder if I could justify adding it to my collection given RC already doesn't get much wear. I didn't pick up on the nectarine note in this until I got home and looked up the notes.

While I have already reviewed this fragrance and it is in my top 5 out of my Kayali collection, I want to add one thing and that's relating to the hair mist of this fragrance. Please save your money, the hair mist is not nice in comparison to the actual perfume. There is something in this mist that smells of fenugreek. I don't know what it is, but it is intense! It literally smells like I was cooking a curry the night before and no amount of washing up or perfume can get rid of that smell. Now when I smell the actual perfume I can pick it up, but ever so slightly. I bought the mist so I don't waste the actual perfume to put in my hair, but the fenugreek note in the hair mist is actually horrendous with the vanilla in the base.

You will need to love gardenia, tuberose, and vanilla (possibly even patchouli) to enjoy this. Luckily for me, I love all four of these notes and to have them singing in such a well blended chorus in this scent makes me so happy. My bottle is a deep plum color now as the vanilla, which is heavy here, has aged... and it has done so beautifully. This is not a scent profile for lovers of the current hyped fruity or sweet synthetic florals currently releasing in the designer realm every day... or for the edible cavity sweet vanillas. This is a refined and grown up floral with a megadose of rich and pure vanilla on a base of sweet patchouli. Grown woman vibes. Boss lady vibes. Queen vibes. It's a love for me.

This is the perfect to me. Maybe because I love white florals. I get a lot of vanilla in the opening & then the tuberose & Gardenia which are gorgeous. There’s definitely orange blossom and jasmine in here too. I love the base note because it’s not overdone and blends great. Cashmere woods & patchouli are my favorites. All of this just blends so well! Where most of the other Kayali aren’t right on me either because of skin chemistry, overpowering woods or bbw smelling. This one is well worth the price to me. I hope they make more scents like this! I’d love to have this with some raspberry & strawberry or coffee. This is everything I hoped for with black opium minus the coffee note.

At first this scent smells like truly a straight up white floral. Very strong jasmine and gardenia. At first it smells quite alcoholic and heady. However with the dry down it really starts to bring out other smells. The florals calms down a bit and the sweetness comes through. It turns into quite a lovely white floral with sweet blossom notes and a slight vanilla. Don’t get me wrong it is most definitely a straight up white floral but a calmer one with some sweetness to it. Definitely give it a try if you like white florals but make sure to give it time to dry down! I went from not liking it to wow this may be one I consider getting a full size of!

I smelled this Fragrance and instantly said DAMN! I’m not a Floral Girly at least that’s what I thought. Wearing this fragrance instantly makes Me feel: “You’re Perfect; You’re Beautiful; You look like Naomi Campbell; You’re a Model.” IYKYK! 🤣 It’s a SUPER SEXY Floral. Beautifully balanced. It’s Floral; Vanilla and slightly Sweet. It’s absolutely gorgeous in Spring and Summer. Date Night; Dinner Party; Outdoorsy night events. I Love it. It’s always going to be in my Collection now!

This fragrance has blown me away! I truly thought there couldn't possibly be anything unique about a white floral? Heck, even Mona thought that considering she named this fragrance Deja Vu lol. However, this fragrance is unlike any white floral bomb I've tried. It has a candied sweetness to it that just blooms on my skin and turns this scent into a sexy, mouthwatering fragrance. I'm trying to limit the amount of large bottle I buy so I bought a mini bottle and do not regret it.

i’m not sure how i feel about this one. to me this smells almost dusty but i do like it layered with vanilla 28. it’s kind of “dry” smelling and i wish the nectarine was heavier. donna born in roma and the intense version are some of my favorites and i smell absolute no similarities. i’m pretty neutral on this one, i think i’ll have to test it out a little longer update: i’ve blown thru 1/3 of my travel size and this is definitely full bottle worthy lol

This is a bit of me!! I love my gourmand scents and my white florals Even as a young kid I liked my elegant maturer scents and this one is fancy! An LBD Moment I could imagine princess Diana wearing this when she wore her iconic revenge dress 🤌🏽🤌🏽 fresh, sexy and beautiful. Its special occasion wear. Slightly sweet, strong on the white florals but classy, it smells like pear and juicy red apple, light tuberose and orange notes. It’s beautiful
