About this product

The downward smoke effect
  • The cone is shaped for backflow use, so the smoke falls rather than rising like standard incense.
  • On the right burner, it gathers into streams and pools, giving a waterfall-like movement to watch.
  • This is incense with a visual centre, suited to a quiet shelf, meditation space, or evening wind-down.
  • Low light makes the falling smoke easier to see, especially against a dark ceramic or stone-style burner.
  • Standard solid cones will not create the same cascade, as they do not have the hollow channel needed for backflow.
Palo Santo scent and incense base

The fragrance is Palo Santo, a warm, woody scent often chosen for slow rituals and reflective spaces.

Lighting your backflow cone

Place the cone on a dedicated backflow burner, aligning the hollow base with the burner opening. Light the tip, let it catch, then gently blow out the flame so the cone smoulders.

Keep it away from draughts, as moving air will disturb the downward smoke. Use on a heat-safe surface, never leave burning incense unattended, and allow ash and residue to cool before cleaning the burner.

Backflow incense in context

Backflow incense is a modern development of cone incense, designed as much for the eye as for the room. The hollow channel helps the cooled, denser smoke sink through the burner. Palo Santo is widely associated with ritual and contemplative spaces, especially where people want a woody scent to mark a pause in the day. This is not background incense to forget about. It asks to be watched for a few minutes.

Common questions

Do I need a special burner for these cones?
Yes. Backflow cones need a dedicated backflow burner with an opening beneath the cone, otherwise the smoke will not cascade properly.
Can I use these like ordinary incense cones?
They will still smoulder, but the downward smoke effect depends on the cone lining up with a backflow burner. A standard incense holder will not show the waterfall movement.
How long does a backflow cone burn?
Backflow cones typically burn for around 10 to 20 minutes, depending on air flow, placement and the cone itself.
