Benett/Dave Benett/Getty Images Idris and Sabrina Elba have a special way to bond as a couple. "I love showering together, although we have some really funny memories showering together," Sabrina, 35, tells PEOPLE exclusively as she and her husband are named ambassadors for Calvin Klein's iconic Eternity fragrance franchise. "We have two sinks, separate sinks, side by side. And it's funny because we're doing the exact same thing because we started a skincare brand [S'ABLE Labs]. We're both using exact same products," she continues. "He does it really fast, I'm like, 'Hold on, my toner is still setting.' But we do the, 'OK, he's there. I'm here.' It feels like it's part of our day." "When we can get up at the same time and someone doesn't have to be up super early, it's really nice, because we can get into the shower and enjoy that moment, have a coffee together, which doesn't feel like it happens enough, unfortunately," Sabrina adds. "I think selfless self-care when it's with community and your partner and with anyone feels really nice."

"Idris has a musk that he uses as a body oil, and anyone that knows him knows that's his smell," she tells PEOPLE. "I love it. It embodies him to me." As for his style, Sabrina says, "Idris for sure is effortless, timeless and sexy to me. He doesn't even have to lift a finger. He just walks out the door, this confident sexy guy. He can be in a pair of flip-flops and sweats, and I'm just like, 'Wow, you're going to make best-dressed lists.' And he always does, he's effortless." Idris, for his part, adds of his wife, "I think Sabrina is fresh because she loves the newest and coolest. And she's elegant no matter what she puts on, whether it's sweatpants or a ball gown, she looks elegant."
