What it is

An incense cone is incense pressed into a small cone. Light the tip, blow out the flame and it smoulders from the top down, scenting the room for about twenty minutes. A backflow cone has a hole in its base, so the smoke falls instead of rising.

Why people choose it

  • A scent in twenty minutes One cone scents a room quickly, then it is done.
  • Smoke that falls On a backflow burner the smoke runs down like water, slow and quiet to watch.
  • Easy to keep a few Woods, resins, flowers and spices: a pack of each for different evenings.
  • Small and tidy The ash stays in the holder as a small grey cone.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Stand the cone on a heat-safe holder

  2. 2

    Light the tip, let it catch, then blow out the flame

  3. 3

    Let it smoulder down; a backflow cone goes on a backflow burner

Care: Use a heat-safe holder. Never leave a lit cone unattended. Ventilate the room.

    Fabulous smell

    I picked these up along with another scent for my backflow incense burner. The cones that came with it left this old cigarette smell and didn't last long. After checking out some reviews, I went with these Stamford ones and they didn't disappoint. The scent is amazing and they burn way longer than…

    Nicest Smell

    This is the nicest smelling one of the series by Stamford, in my personal opinion, and it gives off a nice smell that I only can really describe as flowery, as of roses I guess, and a really nice perfume-y scent of a very good perfume. This one is definitely the best one by far and is a joy to the…

    Burn well with a subtle scent

    These cones burn well and easily, creating a subtle scent. The room smells good, but it doesn't have the strong incense burn smell. It is more a pleasant background aroma that you certainly notice, but not the strong overpowering scent from some incense. I personally prefer the "quiet" scent from…

    Beautiful smell - White Sage & Lavender

    Love it! Smells delightful. Bought one to try and will definitely be buying more. White sage is one of my favourite scents so partnered with Lavender it's perfect. Not as long lasting as I would want but decent enough for the scent and it fills the room nicely. Will try others but this one is a…

    Jumbo Golden Nag Back Flow Incense Cones - Heady Fragrance

    A very heady fragrance for use in a burner, the smoke it emits makes the burner look like it's flowing with steam. Just what I needed for a back flow burner to get a better effect. All the cones are perfect in shape and the heady scent is really powerful.

    Smell amazing

    These are my favourite incense cones. They are backflow cones and they smell amazing. This is my favourite scent but they all smell phenomenal. They are a good size and last longer that lots of other brands. Great value for money too.

    Nice scent and even burn

    These cones come in a nicely presented triangle box with foil lining, and they burn really evenly. Like most incense, they can also be used to lightly fragrance drawers and other enclosed spaces, if you're looking for other uses.

    Good variety and quality of scents.

    The scent is traditional and authentic. Long lasting and natural, unlike other insensence with colours and dyes. These burn and dont leave a horrible residue of scent and smoke like other bfc. Nice variety of scents too.

    Best quality Incense Cones I've bought so far

    I've bought Incense Cones from various companies but Stamford produces the best quality in durability and fragrance. Jasmine being my favourite fragrance, have re-ordered many times. Would highly recommend to anyone.

    Good scent, unreliable burn

    It smells great but sadly the last pack I bought does not burn, no matter how many matches I light. They are extremely frustrating! They have bits of wood or something in them and they go out after about a minute.

A few things often kept alongside this piece.

About this product

The smoke-fall effect
  • Backflow incense is made for visual watching, not just background scent.
  • When placed on a dedicated backflow burner, cooled smoke sinks through the cone and cascades down the burner’s channels.
  • The effect is physical rather than mystical: cooler, denser smoke naturally falls.
  • Low lighting makes the movement easier to see, especially against a dark or simple burner.
  • It suits a still corner, where draughts will not break up the falling smoke.
Sandalwood, warm and steady

The fragrance is sandalwood, a soft, woody scent often chosen for calm rituals, meditation and evening unwinding. It feels grounded without being sharp, making it a natural fit for a bedside table, altar space or quiet living-room shelf.

The cones are charcoal-free incense, designed for a consistent release of fragrance while they burn.

How to use them well

Place one cone on a backflow incense 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.

Use on a heat-safe surface, away from curtains, pets and children. Let ash cool fully before clearing it away, and wipe the burner regularly so the channels stay open.

Sandalwood in ritual spaces

Sandalwood has a long association with Indian devotional and contemplative practice, where its wood and fragrance are used in temples, personal altars and meditation settings. In Hindu and Buddhist contexts, it is valued as a steady, sacred scent that helps mark a shift from ordinary time into ritual time. Here, that meaning is kept simple and practical: a familiar fragrance, a quiet flame, and a few minutes spent watching smoke move slowly downwards.

Pack size and details

Each pack contains 40 sandalwood backflow incense cones and weighs 100 g. Made in India as part of the Biofresh backflow incense cone range.

A quiet gift for incense lovers

A thoughtful choice for someone who already owns a backflow burner, enjoys sandalwood incense, or likes small rituals that bring atmosphere to a room. It suits housewarmings, meditation corners and winter evenings indoors.

Common questions

Do these need a special burner?
Yes. Backflow cones need a dedicated backflow incense burner. Standard incense holders will not create the falling smoke effect.
Can I use ordinary incense cones for the same effect?
No. Standard solid cones do not have the hollow channel needed for the smoke to fall through the burner.
How long does one cone burn?
Backflow cones typically burn for around 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the cone, airflow and room conditions.
