So what's in a name? "We love the song, and 'You & I' makes it personal," Liam said. "Often the simple ideas are the good ones."

The boys note that the floral and fruity scent comes from their personal research, including what their girlfriends wear. Liam explained that the inspiration really comes from "what we liked and didn't like about girly smells."

But who are the women the group dreams of wearing their scent? Liam confessed, "I'm getting struck for Scarlett Johansson these days." And for Louis, "Who am I gonna say? Natalie Portman. I think she's beautiful."

While Scarlett and Natalie sadly couldn't make it to the interview, the boys were still in good spirits, playing around with each other and having a laugh. They joked about which group member has the most serious beauty regimen. Louis claimed that none of them were too intense. "I would say it's less of a routine for me," he stated. "I wore a lot more makeup at the start, but I don't really bother now."

And onto the ultimate question: where do the boys like a lady to spray the sweet scent of their new perfume? "Whoa, now we're getting personal!" Liam mused, only to be interrupted by Louis jumping in with, "On the neck."
