Jason Merritt/WireImage Between winning the Best Actor Oscar for _Dallas Buyers Club_, stealing _Wolf of Wall Street_ with less than six minutes of screen time and starring in the

critically-acclaimed HBO show, _True Detective_, Matthew McConaughey is having the best year ever. So when we received an email asking us if we wanted to interview him about being the face

of Dolce & Gabbana “The One” fragrance, we responded (say it with us now) “Alright, alright, alright!” The actor (at the extreme height of what we’re calling _McConaugheCool_) was a pure

delight on the phone — and we learned so many candid tidbits during our phone chat that we had to list them out for you. (P.S.: The photo at left was taken during our conversation. _Okay_,

every day. 4. When he has to put on a suit and “look as sharp as possible” he uses a Clarisonic and applies his signature scent (yep, it’s “The One.”) 5. He can’t remember the name of his

first cologne, but he could only afford to buy two bottles and he made each one last two years. “My friends would ask if they could have some and they were allowed to have one mist. I would

spray it once on them directly or spray it and they could run into it.” 6. His favorite scent in general is fresh-cut St. Augustine grass, which grows in his home state of Texas. 7. During

our interview he revealed that he was wearing his _True Detective_ character Rust Cohle’s gray Dickies. (More proof that we think he _must_ be talking to us during that phone call in the

photo above!) 8. When asked about his _Dazed and Confused_ wardrobe he said, “How can you mess with those peach pants and the Nugent T-shirt? They wouldn’t have worked as well without the

hair and the mustache.” 9. He describes his personal style in thee words: “Form follows function.” 10. When it comes to women’s fashion he says, “It’s how she wears it more than than what

she’s wearing.” (See wife Camila on any red carpet for proof.) 11. He _loved_ his black-and-white _Dolce & Gabbana_ tux at the Oscars. Mostly because there was no effort required. “We

had a rack of 40 things, and I pointed at that one, and it fit, and I was like ‘I’m not looking at any more.'” 12. He used to wear a real flower in his pocket on the red carpet and

whenever someone asked why, he’d say, “Mother Nature never goes out of style.” His current thoughts: “I look back and I’m like, ‘That was a pretty brave flower you wore there,

McConaughey.'” 13. He won’t say whether he wears boxers, briefs or goes commando. “That’s none of your business.” 14. If given the choice between sweet or salty, he’d choose salty. WE
