★★★★★ 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.

About this product
Smoke moving through carved wood
- The Hamsa shape gives the burner a calm, open silhouette, with a rounded hollow at the centre for the falling smoke.
- Carved floral and scroll details catch the light across the palm and fingers, adding depth even when it is not in use.
- The wood has a grey-brown washed finish, with natural-looking grain visible across the raised holder and base.
- Used with a backflow cone, the smoke falls rather than rises, creating a misty pool in the central recess.
- It suits moments when you want incense to feel present and watched, not simply burning in the background.
Mango wood with a raised cone holder
The burner is made from mango wood and shaped as a large Hamsa, with a raised holder set above the central bowl. The carved surface gives it a tactile, decorative feel, while the broad base helps it sit securely on a flat, heat-safe surface.
How the backflow effect works
Place a backflow incense cone on the top holder and light it according to the cone instructions. Backflow cones are designed with a channel that lets the smoke sink through the cone and fall downwards, so ordinary incense cones will not create the same cascade.
Still air matters. Draughts, damp cones or an uneven surface can interrupt the flow, so place the burner somewhere sheltered and let the smoke gather naturally.
Placement and care for wood
Use on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from curtains, papers and anything easily marked by smoke. Never leave burning incense unattended.
After use, let the burner cool fully before removing ash or residue. Wipe the wood gently with a dry cloth and avoid soaking it.
The Hamsa in context
The Hamsa is a hand-shaped symbol found across Middle Eastern, North African, Jewish and Islamic visual traditions, often associated with protection, blessing and watchfulness. Here, the open palm becomes part of the incense ritual itself: smoke gathers in the centre of the hand, softening the carved lines and making the object feel quietly animated. It is a decorative piece first, but one with a recognisable symbolic language behind its form.
