Daddy Yankee (2008)
by Daddy Yankee

Thank Heaven for Basenotes.
I would have passed Daddy Yankee up as just another Pop star fragrance until I read the reviews and purchased a bottle.

What I don't see mentioned here is an anise-like accord with the initial spray. May just be my nose but I get a nice licorice note that smells wonderful.
Refreshing fruits and a nice drydown that smells like fresh woods.
Decent longevity too.
This is not a cheap smelling frag but a well made scent at a great price.
I like it very much.

Kinda light and inoffensive, but it has some sexiness on it. To me it smells a little like a RSVP light, very woody but with some spicyness that dominates the whole development with some fruityness in the opening and some sweet amber in the base.
Not bad for the price.

Couldn't pass it up for $6.00. I actually really like this and it's not trying to be something it's not (Sean John). I like the cinnamon note in this and it's a clean powdery dry down. Sillage is average and longevity is average to below average. Great buy and something I will pick up and wear with a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Thumbs up.

Quite good for a celebrity fragrance. Daddy Yankee is the opposite of linear and goes through several different phases that must be experienced first hand. From aromas like apples to vanilla to coconut and pineapple to chocolate and cinnamon to a fantastic sweet woodsy dry down. Daddy Yankee is on the A list for celebrity fragrances. If you've ever tried Perry Ellis -- 2008 edition I believe with the cloth thing hanging off the bottle, Daddy Yankee has a very similar opening to that. Pleasing, moderate to low sillage, decent longevity, sexy as hell, and completely inoffensive. This one is a keeper, and a great choice for a noob who's looking for something inexpensive and less usual than the typical Hugo's and AdG's to start off their collection. B+

Daddy Yankee starts off very fruity and "generic fresh". The generic freshness, most likely a heavy dose of calone, perpetuates amicably throughout the life of the fragrance. The drydown is an unexpected cedar woods and suede. So, Daddy Yankee starts of fresh and vibrant and evolves into a droning yet pleasant fragrance. Overall, very light. Pleasant when you just want a scent on you. As far as celebrity fragrances go, this one doesn't take home any awards but caught my attention as being better than expected.
