Myrrh Backflow Incense Cones for Burners, Tribal Soul

Watch the smoke gather, cool and spill downwards in soft white streams. These myrrh backflow incense cones are made for a dedicated backflow burner, turning fragrance into a small piece of moving theatre for a quiet shelf, altar space or evening ritual.

The falling-smoke effect

• The cone’s hollow channel draws smoke down through the base, so it cascades rather than rising like standard incense.
• Place it on a backflow burner and the smoke follows the burner’s shape, pooling through steps, bowls or carved channels.
• It suits active watching: a few unhurried minutes away from screens, with movement as much as scent.
• Keep it away from draughts, as moving air breaks the downward flow and scatters the smoke.

Warm myrrh in the room

• Myrrh has a warm, spicy and balsamic scent, with a resinous depth that feels suited to slower evenings.
• The fragrance is more grounded than sweet, settling into the room with a meditative character.
• The dark packaging and brown cones give it a simple ritual feel before the cone is even lit.
• Backflow incense is more visual than a stick or coil, so it works best where you can see the smoke fall.

How to use it safely

Hold the cone sideways and light the pointed tip for a few seconds. Once the tip glows, gently blow out the flame and place the cone on a dedicated backflow incense burner.

Use on a heat-resistant burner only, away from draughts, curtains, pets and children. Allow the cone and ash to cool fully before touching or clearing away.

Myrrh in ritual and story

Myrrh is a natural resin from the Commiphora tree, long used as perfume and incense. It appears in Jewish and Christian texts, including the Torah and the Bible, where it is connected with offering, devotion and sacred space. In ritual practice, myrrh is traditionally associated with protection, purification and focused contemplation. Here, that meaning sits quietly beside the sensory pleasure: a resinous scent, a falling plume of smoke, and a small pause in the day.

A thoughtful ritual gift

Common questions

Can I use these on a normal incense holder?
No. Backflow cones need a dedicated backflow burner for the falling-smoke effect. On a standard holder, they will burn, but the smoke will not cascade properly.

Can I use standard incense cones on a backflow burner?
Standard solid cones do not have the hollow channel needed for the waterfall effect, so they cannot be substituted for backflow cones.

How long does one cone burn?
Backflow cones typically burn for around 10 to 20 minutes, depending on air flow and the burner setup.
