Kayali- Deja Vu White Flower
(Huda Beauty sister fragrance brand) ✨
Wow. Okay so when I first smelled the initial spray I was scared because it smelled pretty intensely like a perfume my grandma wears thats very red and spicy. And I was like oh no. Lol
And then that went away in like 12 seconds, not even. And, it started warming up and rolling into like, vanilla and warm sweet flowery fragrance. And this warmer sweeter aspect continued developing over the next 3 hours. After that point it didn’t really change.
It has that luxury top note over the gardenia and vanilla-warm smell, which, I don’t know how to describe what it is, but it makes it smell super expensive, super luxury, super glam.
When I wear it I feel like THAT bitch. I feel pretty and ultra feminine, extreme high class, and rich. Girly rich glam luxury. Lol I love it.
The first two sprays, I thought omg, it’s too strong oh no! But it evens out and tones down over the next 15 minutes to an hour, so you don’t have to worry about it being “too strong” it’s just that initial spray that is quite powerful.
I would say it lasted 8 hours and then began fading significantly enough to warrant one more spray as a top up to go longer. 12 hours later with no top up I still smell it on my wrists but, I feel like I’m not wafting it around as much just, its more subtle at that point like if someone got close to you they’d go oh you smell kinda good but they’d only be getting a fraction of the initial scent as it was when freshly applied. By 24 hours later I still smell it on my wrist faintly which is indication of a luxury perfume, as it did not disappear completely.
The packaging is absolutely stunning and beautiful quality, I’m obsessed with it, and the top stays on really well that you could just throw it in your bag and the glass is so thick and sturdy feeling it wouldn’t break.
10/10
favorite Kayali perfume, and if you’re going to get any of them, get this one. This is their most popular and best seller, as well as their newest released one. And I can see why it’s the most popular. At first I thought this would be over rated, but it truly is unique and gorgeous. It’s the perfect ‘glam girl’ gift for holidays.
I would say maturity level it can be wearable for any age as well but I see the market for it being more in my age rage, 20’s and early 30’s.
You literally only need 1-2 squirts of this, otherwise you’d be approaching over board. Just a warning on that. Don’t over do it or you’ll be sick & get head ache.
If you are someone who is very sensitive to fragrance (have a head ache condition, etc.) this is definitely on the stronger end of the spectrum of perfumes, and if you prefer something lighter and airy, and less noticable, subtle, etc. I don’t think you’ll like this because of it being a little heavier and stronger than the average.
It’s beautiful scent, very much like the name it smells like a graceful milky white flower, soft and, with a hint of vanilla.

Along with it I also demo’d the Kayali White Flower Deja Vu Hair Fragrance Spray
And this you can be a little heavier handed with, I did three sprays 1 on each side of my head, on top of my miracle it’s a 10 leave in conditioner.
And it does make your hair smell subtly and lightly, faintly like the white flower perfume, it surprisingly wasn’t powdery or too warm either, and didn’t leave a thickness, residue, slick-gel or anything strange on my hair. You couldn’t tell I sprayed product on it appearance and feel wise. And it didn’t weigh down my hair at all or create any change in texture. Leaving it silky smooth, soft, and light.
This fragrance for hair was also like that, very soft, light, and luxury. The luxury top note I mentioned in the kayali fragrance is still there, and combined perfectly balanced with the vanilla gardenia white milky scent, to just be delicious. It smells very ‘rich’ person.
But the hair spray is much much lighter and air-y which is nice, because in combination with the perfume, it’s not ‘too much’ you just smell nice. Without it being too over powering or nauseating. It’s more subtle but, still attaches to the hair very well, and stays on it for very long periods of time.
It’s a full 24 hours later, and my hair still smells like it. It’s lovely and my favorite product from Kayali so far.
If you’re trying to decide between getting the perfume and the hair fragrance, I actually recommend getting the hair fragrance first because it’s just so nice, and light, and wonderful.
the packaging is matte white feel, with a gold top, and it feels very luxury and is super light weight so you could throw in your gym bag or your purse and it wouldn’t be a hassle. It’s small enough for that, but large enough to not feel like you’re not getting a lot.
11/10.
