Light a backflow cone at the top and the tree becomes a tiny piece of theatre. This resin and metal backflow incense burner sends smoke down the hollow trunk, where it gathers around the fairy, the blue pool, the reeds and the stone-edged base like slow woodland mist.

    Glad I gave it a chance

    I was worried by some of the negative reviews, but I'm glad I gave this a chance. It is beautiful, arrived safely and in one piece. The cones are large, and the smoke drifts beautifully down the platforms forming a waterfall effect....exactly as I hoped. Even a slight draft will affect this though…

    A great idea.... but...

    I bought the green incense waterfall burner which looks aesthetically pleasing. I bought this as a gift and thought I best try it before giving it, because the reviews were a mixed bag. When I opened the bag of scented cones there wasn't much scent. I chose the lavender coloured cone but it didn't…

    Looks good and works well

    This is a very nice-looking, solid, mountain scene for backflow incense cones. It comes with two brass effect cone holders, which allow the incense to flow down the back or front of the mountain for different looks. It looks really nice in use, but the waterfall effect will be dependant on the…

    Ha ha! Decided to try one out at home before the Christmas market I was doing. Well, me and hubby were watching it and losing faith as nothing happened! Then as the cone burnt down it began flowing. Amazing! If only we'd read the instructions on the tub of cones before lighting it!

    Small but beautiful

    The item itself is lovely, small and delicate. However it is made well and is fairly sturdy. The incense that came with it aren't great but I just bought new ones as I wanted this burner! Overall very happy with my purchase.

    Great item - although I found the cones only last for about 10 minutes - shame as you just begin to enjoy the mystical smoke coming through - but ends very quickly.

    Cool incense burner

    Wanted one of these for a while and it looks fantastic as the smoke flows down. I would like more scent and longer burn time but you get loads of incense to burn.

A few things often kept alongside this piece.

About this product

Smoke moving through a woodland scene
  • The cascade begins at the tree stump, then drops through the carved channel before settling into the lake scene below.
  • The fairy sits beside the pool in soft pink and orange tones, turning the smoke into part of the story rather than a background detail.
  • Textured bark, mossy greens, reeds and rounded stones give the piece a fairytale woodland feel on a shelf or meditation table.
  • The effect is quiet and visual, suited to an evening pause, a reading corner, or a still moment before practice.
  • The metal cone dish at the top gives the incense a defined place to sit while the burner catches ash and falling smoke.
How the backflow effect works

Backflow incense cones are made with a hollow channel, so the smoke cools and falls rather than rising straight away. On this burner, that falling smoke is guided down the tree and into the little lake scene at the base.

Still air matters. A draught, damp cone or uneven placement can interrupt the flow, so use it away from open windows and set the cone carefully over the top opening.

Resin tree with a metal cone holder

The burner is made from resin and metal, with a sculpted tree trunk, painted fairy figure, grass-like edging and a small blue pool. Resin allows the bark, rocks and woodland details to be shaped with more depth than a flat incense tray, while the metal holder supports the lit cone at the top.

Using it safely

Use only backflow incense cones with this burner. Standard incense sticks and ordinary solid cones will not create the falling smoke effect.

Place the burner on a stable, heatproof surface before lighting the cone. Never leave burning incense unattended, and allow the holder and ash to cool fully before cleaning. Wipe residue gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth, avoiding rough scrubbing on the painted details.

A fairytale take on the incense waterfall

Backflow burners turn a simple incense holder into moving décor. The idea is close to the visual language of mist, water and landscape often found in East Asian incense aesthetics, where stillness and flow sit together. Here the mood is more storybook than temple object: a hollow tree, a resting fairy, a small pool, and smoke behaving like a drifting stream through the scene.

Weight and included pieces

The burner weighs 613 g. It is supplied as the burner only, with no incense cone included. Approximate burn time for a suitable backflow cone is 30 minutes.

Common questions

Do I need special cones?
Yes. This burner is for backflow incense cones only, as the hollow cone design creates the downward smoke cascade.
Are cones included?
No. Add backflow incense cones separately before use.
Why is the smoke not falling properly?
The most common causes are draughts, a damp or stale cone, or the cone not sitting correctly over the opening. Use it in still air and align the cone carefully at the top.
