Do you smell that? It's the sweet scent Joe Manganiello just couldn't resist when meeting Sofía Vergara!

On Thursday's all-new Meredith Vieira Show, the Modern Family star opens up about how she got the Hollywood hunk to fall in love with her!

Turns out her smell was simply irresistible.

"That's all I wear, perfume," Vergara joked to host Meredith Vieira. "That's how I got Joe Manganiello to be in love with me."

So what's the magic odor that got the Magic Mike stud so excited? It's none other than Sofía by Sofía Vergara.

Her delicious perfume still doesn't explain that infamous photo from the White House Correspondents' Dinner that showed Manganiello checking out Vergara's backside.

Turns out, the actress had no idea it happened until she officially started dating her beau months later.

"It was really funny because I didn't know that had happened until I started really going out with him," she explained to Vieira. "Somebody sent me the picture and I confronted him about it and he was like, ‘Yeah, I can't excuse myself. I was there.'"

She added, "I didn't know he was behind me. It was funny. It broke the ice after that we started talking like, you know." Oh yes, we know.

The Hollywood stars first started dating in early July. Ever since then, the couple has enjoyed countless date nights and even a trip to Mexico for Labor Day weekend.

"We're having a lot of fun," Vergara recently told E! News. "He's a really funny guy, which is something really important for me and a very nice guy."
