It goes without saying that Scarlett Johansson and Matthew McConaughey make one attractive pair, which is precisely why Dolce & Gabbana smartly selected the stars to front their latest fragrance campaign directed by Martin Scorsese.

The dashing duo look simply elegant in the black and white images, and we scored an exclusive opportunity to chat with each star about their holiday traditions and special sentiments surrounding this time of year.

Here's what we learned from Matthew McConaughey himself:

What is the perfect Christmas fragrance?
The fragrance that I always enjoy wearing over the Christmas period is Dolce & Gabbana The One For Men. I think it's a very unique masculine scent that stands out but isn't overpowering. This year's special limited edition platinum packaging makes it even more festive.  

Is there any specific fragrance that you would buy for your partner for Christmas?
The fragrance I would always choose for my wife at Christmas would be Dolce & Gabbana The One. It is a feminine, flowery scent that suits my wife's personality perfectly. 

What is the most memorable Christmas gift you've ever received and from whom?
A couple of years ago I have asked my partner to marry me on Christmas Day. She said yes. It was the best present I could have ever received.

Do you prefer a white Christmas or Christmas under the sun?
I love going back to my roots so it's nice to spend Christmas under the sun in Austin. It doesn't get too hot in December but it's warm enough so the kids can play outside and you can relax outdoors.
 
What do you do in your free time over Christmas?
I devote all my free time to my family over Christmas. I travel so much during the year that I always want to make sure to play football or board games and watch TV with my kids and wife over the festive period. It's a very special and important time for me.
 
Do you have a favorite Christmas film?
A Christmas film marathon is our family tradition. We always start with It's a Wonderful Life...I can't count the amount of times I've seen it!

We also nabbed some one-on-one time with the lovely Scarlett Johansson, and couldn't help but ask her these holiday-themed questions:

Is there any specific fragrance that you would buy for your partner for Christmas?
It's really difficult to buy a fragrance for someone as a smell is so particular for each person. I think The One for Men takes the guesswork out of it because it's unique enough for a man with specific tastes yet appeals to most because it is so wearable.

Do you like buying Christmas presents?
I much prefer to give presents than to receive them.

Which makeup item is your ‘go to' for a Christmas look?
I usually carry a red lipstick with me for a last minute night out. The Classic Cream Lipstick in Devil is my favorite.

What do you look for when selecting the perfect gift for a friend or loved one?
I always look for a present that my friend or loved one covets but would never ask for themselves.

And there you have it!
