Backflow Incense Cones Frank and Myrrh 225 Pack

Smoke does not simply rise here, it gathers, cools and slips downward in slow green-grey curls. These backflow incense cones are made for a dedicated waterfall burner, where Frank and Myrrh fragrance becomes part scent, part moving sculpture.

The downward smoke effect

• The hollow base lets smoke fall through the cone, then cascade through a backflow burner in soft, twisting trails.
• Unlike a stick or standard cone, the pleasure is visual as well as fragrant, something to sit with and watch.
• The cones shown are a deep matte green, with a powdery surface and tapered shape that sits neatly on a burner point.
• Placed in low evening light, the smoke has a quiet theatre to it, especially on tiered or waterfall-style burners.
• The effect relies on cooled, denser smoke, not a mystical mechanism. Standard solid cones will not create the same cascade.

Frank and Myrrh fragrance

The scent is a Frank and Myrrh blend, warm, resinous and devotional in mood. It suits a slower room: an altar shelf, a reading corner, or the first quiet pause after the day has loosened its grip.

The incense is made in India. The green finish gives the cones a simple, ritual look before they are lit.

Lighting and placement

Use only with a backflow incense burner. Light the tip, let it catch, then gently blow out the flame so the cone smoulders.

Set the burner on a stable, heat-safe surface away from draughts. Air movement can scatter the smoke and soften the waterfall effect, so a still corner works best.

Backflow cones typically burn for around 10 to 20 minutes, depending on airflow and the burner. Allow the cone and ash to cool fully before clearing it away.

Incense as a watching ritual

Backflow incense is a modern form of incense display, especially popular with sculptural ceramic burners that turn smoke into rivers, clouds and pools. Frankincense and myrrh are long associated with ceremonial fragrance in Middle Eastern, North African and Christian contexts, valued for their resinous depth and sense of occasion. Here, that heritage is approached as atmosphere rather than promise: a way to give a few minutes a visible beginning, middle and end.

Pack size and cone details

Each pack contains approximately 225 backflow cones and weighs 500 g. Each cone measures 3 cm high and 1 cm across, with an approximate weight of 2 g.

A gift for incense lovers

A thoughtful choice for someone who already owns a backflow burner, or for pairing with one as a complete ritual gift. The generous pack size suits regular evening use, meditation spaces and anyone who enjoys incense with a visual element.

Common questions

Can I use these in a normal incense holder?
No. These cones need a dedicated backflow burner so the smoke can travel down through the hollow base and create the waterfall effect.

Are they the same as standard incense cones?
No. Standard solid cones burn upwards like ordinary incense. Backflow cones are shaped with a hollow channel so cooled smoke can sink through the burner.
