As a celebrity style editor, I love to see when a uniting theme emerges among the figures we often cover. Though these similarities are rare, they do happen – and most recently, it comes in the shape of a cult favorite candle brand.

In recent months and years, Diptyque has reinforced its power as a Parisian fragrance powerhouse – gripping celebrities far beyond its European base. It's responsible for some of the best candles you can buy, making them fixtures in some of the most beautiful homes on the planet. We've already written about Brooke Shields and Kate Hudson (the latter being particularly fond of the Eucalyptus scent), but now we've discovered Victoria Beckham is another long-time fan.

'Diptyque is my go-to candle brand – I go back and forth between Feu de Bois and Baies,' Beckham shared in an interview with Into The Gloss. Feu de Bois, meaning 'wood fire' in French, is a seasonal staple. It's the perfect scent for a cozy night inside, escaping the cooler climates. In comparison, Baies (meaning Berries) is a fruity –but nonetheless luxurious – scent that feels synonymous with fresher summer days.

Feu de Bois represents warmth and coziness, while Baies is fresher, but of course, there are no rules regarding when you burn these candles. If you want to light Feu de Bois all summer long, then go for it – candles are made to make you happy, after all.

Alternatively, you can use these pieces to master fragrance layering – in which each room has its own dedicated scent specific to the mood and visuals of that space. When it comes to Beckham's choice, we recommend placing Feu de Bois in your living room, while Baies is better for an entryway or kitchen. To take things further yet, we're introducing more celebrity-approved Diptyque fragrances (including Hudson's Eucalyptus Classic Candle) below.
