Smoke becomes part of the design with this mango wood backflow incense burner, made to let incense drift downwards in a slow, waterfall-like stream. Place it where the air is still, light a backflow cone, and the room gains a small piece of moving theatre for reading, meditation, or an evening pause.

    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 that falls like water
  • The backflow effect draws the eye because the smoke moves down instead of rising away.
  • It suits quiet corners, shelves, side tables, and ritual spaces where a little movement changes the mood of the room.
  • Still air matters. Draughts can scatter the smoke before it has time to settle and cascade.
  • The Om motif gives the piece a contemplative feel without making it overly ornate.
  • Use it with backflow incense cones to create the falling-smoke effect.
Mango wood with a sacred motif

The burner is made from mango wood, a natural material with visible grain and a grounded, organic character. The Om design links the piece to Indian spiritual iconography, while the wooden body keeps it warm and simple enough for everyday spaces.

How to use it well

Place the burner on a stable, heat-safe surface, away from draughts and loose fabrics. Light the tip of a backflow incense cone, let it glow, then set it in position so the smoke can travel through the burner’s channel and fall downwards.

It is an incense holder, not an oil burner or heated diffuser. The incense cone creates the smoke by itself. Let the cone and ash cool fully before cleaning, and never leave burning incense unattended.

The Om symbol in context

Om is a sacred syllable in Hindu traditions and is also present in Buddhist and Jain contexts. It is often used at the beginning or end of chanting, meditation, and prayer, marking a moment of attention and presence. On a home object, the symbol works as a quiet visual reminder of stillness and sound, especially fitting for incense, where scent, smoke, and ritual meet in one small act.

Size and details

Made from mango wood in India. The burner weighs 500 g. Use with backflow incense cones for the cascading smoke effect.

Common questions

Can I use ordinary incense cones with it?
Use backflow incense cones for the falling-smoke effect. Standard cones may still burn, but they are not designed to send smoke down through the burner.
Why is the smoke not cascading properly?
The effect depends on still air, correct cone placement, and a fresh backflow cone. Draughts, damp cones, or a blocked channel can disturb the flow.
Is this the same as an oil burner?
No. It is an unheated incense burner that holds a lit cone and catches ash. It does not warm fragrance oil or wax.
