“That’s why I do it. That’s why I put my name there, for people to remember,” she joked.

The album is not only their fourth album, but it’s also their fourth album to debut at number one.
Ellen TV: One Direction You & I Perfume
One Direction has a new fragrance out that’s for women called You & I.
“Do you all have the same taste in scents of a woman?” Ellen joked.
Harry said that was a great question. Liam explained that it’s a huge process in choosing a scent. In between trying different scents, you have to smell coffee beans to clear the palate and the scent. He said that the band often agreed on the different scents.
“We had the most meetings I think we’ve ever had about anything about this little bottle of stuff right there,” Liam said, pointing to the bottle.
Ellen still wanted to know about the process of developing the scent. “Did you smell some girl and went, ‘Oh, that’s the smell I’m going to go after,'” she said.
“You can get in trouble for that,” Liam joked.

Corina was crying and completely shocked to be sitting there. Harry invited her to come to see them first at the AMAs and then gave her two tickets to their show. He also gave her some Altoids, Ellen’s holiday CD, their new fragrance, Ellen’s telephone, and the centerpiece from Ellen’s table. Corina just held it all and cried in excitement.
