Kate Hudson scents her home using a cult-favorite candle with a balancing twist – her fresh and clean fragrance is the perfect start to the New Year

Is this a spa or Kate Hudson's home? With the fresh, relaxing scent of eucalyptus leaves drifting through the halls, it's difficult to know for sure.

The actress shared her favorite home fragrance as a 'Top Pick for Living Well' in Chalkboard, and it's a new scent from a familiar favorite. Hudson swears by the Eucalyptus Classic Candle from Diptyque.

Diptyque candles have been a celebrity since they came on the market: Kim Kardashian uses Jasmin throughout her home and Roses in the bathroom, Beyoncé loves Vanille, and Megan Markle adores Diptyque Tubéreuse. Kate Hudson's fresh, green pick feels like a modern spin on these more classic fragrances.

Eucalyptus, as featured as Hudson's best candle, is known as a relaxing fragrance for creating a spa-like atmosphere in any space. It's become especially trendy in recent years, with the rise of an online movement for hanging fresh eucalyptus in the shower to be released with steam. The notes are aromatic and lively, with 'camphorated nuances.' In the Diptyque candle, leaves are crushed by hand for a full-bodied fragrance.

Furthermore, Eucalyptus is known as one of the best home scents for wellbeing. Carlin van Noppen, fragrance and design expert at Fig Linens and Home states: 'Eucalyptus is frequently used in spas because of its grounding, meditative qualities. Its fresh fragrance is at once calming and energizing, making it perfect for promoting mental clarity and reducing stress. The scent also as degongestant and expectorant properties, allowing it to offer respiratory relief and improve air quality.' Especially when combined with mint, a Eucalyptus candle is perfect for manifesting health in the New Year.

Though there are many Eucalyptus candles on the market, what sets Kate Hudson's pick apart is its design. The stylish glass holder with a round, black, and white label is instantly recognizable as Diptyque. Its beautiful, simple font and color scheme could fit easily into any room. I especially love the look of these candles paired together, for instance, placing a classic-sized Diptyque candle next to a mini size for variation in height. This is also a great way to introduce fragrance layering to your home. Candles from the brand are designed to go together, so you're destined to have a harmonious and inviting combination. Eucalyptus is especially tantalizing when paired with other fresh, green scents like mint and rosemary.

Though not everyone can be Kate Hudson, everyone can make their home smell like hers. With Eucalyptus's mood-boosting and mental-clarity-improving benefits, it's a great place to start. Additionally, we love these cult-favorite Diptyque icons, available below.
