    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 falling-smoke effect
  • Backflow cones are shaped for movement, not just scent, with smoke designed to travel downwards through a compatible burner.
  • The effect is simple physics: cooled, denser smoke falls through the hollow channel and pools along the burner’s contours.
  • It gives incense a focal point, something to watch for a few still minutes rather than leave in the background.
  • Low light suits it beautifully, especially on a ceramic or stone-style burner where the smoke can show its shape.
Warm amber in the room

The scent is amber, a soft, resinous fragrance associated with warmth, depth and evening atmosphere. It suits slow wind-down rituals, meditation spaces and moments when you want the room to feel more settled and intimate.

How to use these cones

Place one cone on a dedicated backflow incense burner, aligning the hollow base with the burner’s smoke channel. Light the tip, let it catch briefly, then blow out the flame so the cone smoulders.

Use on a stable, heat-safe surface, away from draughts, curtains and anything flammable. Let the ash cool fully before clearing it away, and keep incense out of reach of children and pets.

Incense from India

These cones are part of the Aromatika Backflow Incense Cones range and are made in India, a country with a long incense-making culture across domestic, devotional and atmospheric use. Backflow incense is a more modern format than classic sticks: the pleasure is partly aromatic and partly visual, turning scented smoke into a slow, sculptural movement. Amber is often chosen for cosy interiors and evening rituals, where its warm character feels especially at home.

Pack details

Each hexagon-shaped box contains 10 amber backflow incense cones.

Resonates with Amber

Common questions

Can I use these in a normal incense holder?
They need a dedicated backflow burner to create the waterfall effect. A standard incense holder will let the cone burn, but it will not guide the smoke downwards in the same way.
Can I use ordinary incense cones in a backflow burner?
No. Standard solid cones do not have the hollow channel needed for the falling-smoke 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 airflow, cone density and the burner used.
Why is the smoke not flowing down properly?
Check that the cone’s hollow base is lined up with the burner channel. Draughts, an uneven surface or a blocked channel can interrupt the flow.
