Urban living is fantastic for many reasons, but a fireplace is rarely one of them. City apartments outfitted with them are rare jewels, mostly because of the real estate they take up in a small space. In fact, installing a wood-burning fireplace is not even permissible under New York City Building Code as of 2014. So if you don’t use “winter” as a verb yet, but you have aspirations to mimic eau de ski chalet, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide to the best firewood-scented candles, sparking next-level #hyggegoals.
