★★★★★ L.J.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…

★★★★★ F.G.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…

★★★★★ T.K.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!

★★★★★ L.G.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.

★★★★★ S.R.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
The smoke falling through the dragon skull
- The drama is in the movement: backflow smoke sinks rather than rises, so the skull appears to breathe mist into the rocks below.
- The sculpted dragon head has a bone-white finish, darkened in the creases to bring out the horns, ridges and hollowed eye sockets.
- A craggy grey base gives the smoke somewhere to collect, making the effect feel more like a scene than a simple incense holder.
- The dark tree-like form at the side adds height and shadow, framing the pale skull from behind.
- It suits a quiet evening table, a reading corner, a meditation space, or anywhere you want incense to feel more visual.
How the backflow effect works
This burner is made for backflow incense cones only. These cones have a hollow channel that helps cooled smoke sink downwards, creating the waterfall effect.
Still air matters. Place the cone neatly in the metal cup, keep the burner away from draughts, and let the smoke find its path down through the sculpted form.
Resin, metal and a carved-stone look
The piece is made from resin and metal. The resin allows for the detailed dragon skull, rock texture and weathered surface, while the metal cup holds the lit cone in place.
The finish is deliberately aged: pale bone tones on the skull, darker staining in the details, and a mottled grey rock base that gives the whole piece a gothic, mineral feel.
Placement and safe use
Use on a stable, heatproof surface, with space around the burner for smoke to fall and ash to settle. An incense burner is an unheated holder; the incense itself provides the smoke.
Never leave burning incense unattended. Allow the cone and holder to cool fully before touching or cleaning, then wipe away residue gently with a dry cloth.
Dragon symbolism with a darker edge
Dragons appear in many traditions as powerful threshold creatures, linked with strength, mystery and the meeting of earthly and otherworldly forces. In Chinese decorative art, the dragon is often an auspicious symbol of authority and elemental power. This design takes that familiar figure in a more gothic direction, using the skull form, horns and stone-like base to turn incense into a moody visual ritual. It is less about bright ornament and more about atmosphere: smoke, shadow, texture and a slow sense of movement.
