Usually, I use the word déjà vu as a noun, e.g. "sense of déjà vu aroused by an experience".
But the sentence sounds somewhat passive this way and less interesting and also long. I couldn't find an adjective form of the word déjà vu to make the sentence more active like "déjà vu'tic experience".
How can I make use of the word and yet form my sentence in a more active and impactful manner without having too many "by"'s and "of"'s?
Answer
Déjà vu is a word borrowed from French, a look into the dictionaries gives only one form, that is Déjà vu. It's a noun and seems there is no adjective form for this word. A little googling lead to this link which gives elaborate information on this word

Here it's said that the original use of the word was in adjective sense.
"Déjà vu crosswords, a little bit too Déjà vu for me"
By the above examples your sentence can be written as " Déjà vu experience". This is just like the way we use good, bad etc as adjectives ( Good experience , bad experience etc)
