You can, but eucalyptus can get overpowering over time. The supermarkets sell a water soluble eucalyptus oil - add 1 only teaspoonful to the RINSE water. There is also a lavender version that can be used the same way.
Another method is to keep a small face washer or similar with a few drops of oil on it. Put this in the dryer with your clothes.
Quite frankly, I wouldn't bother if line drying clothes. I would only consider this if using a tumble dryer all the time.
EDIT: too much oil will rot the seals on the washing machine.

I have a washer / dryer mixed machine. Will the oil still mess with the seals? If so I'll stick to the scent booster that CEO suggested above. Or get the soluble one.

Yes it will. Best stick with the scent booster.
