Watch the smoke move the wrong way, sinking in slow curls instead of drifting up. These backflow incense cones are made for a dedicated backflow burner, where the cooled smoke falls through the base and turns scent into a small piece of theatre. Wizard’s Spell brings fragrance to the room, warm, earthy and softly sweet.

    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 downward smoke effect
  • The hollow channel in each cone guides the smoke downwards once it cools, creating the waterfall effect backflow burners are known for.
  • Place one on a suitable burner and the smoke gathers in steps, pools and curves, making the burner part of the ritual.
  • It is a more visual kind of incense than a stick or coil, suited to a quiet evening, a reading corner, or a screen-free pause.
  • The black and yellow packaging carries the Wizard’s Spell theme, with stars and pointed hats giving it a playful mythical mood.
Warm fragrance, made for backflow

The cones are made from incense paste and shaped specifically for backflow use. Unlike standard solid cones, they are designed with a hollow base so the smoke can fall rather than simply rise.

The fragrance sits in the Mythical Backflow Cones range, with the Wizard’s Spell name leaning into a cosy, fantasy-inspired atmosphere.

How to use them well

Place a cone on a dedicated backflow incense burner, with the hole in the cone aligned over the burner’s smoke channel. Light the tip, let it catch, then gently blow out the flame so the cone smoulders.

Use on a heatproof surface, away from draughts, fabrics and open windows. The cascade is clearest in still air, especially against a darker burner or low evening light.

Incense with a little stagecraft

Backflow incense is a style of cone incense, loved for the way scent and movement meet. The effect comes from simple physics: as the smoke cools, it becomes denser and sinks through the cone’s hollow channel. In practice, it feels almost theatrical, a small moving sculpture for the home. The mythical styling adds to that sense of occasion, turning an ordinary scented moment into something more deliberate and watchable.

Pack details

Each pack contains 12 backflow incense cones. Made in India.

Common questions

Do I need a special burner for these cones?
Yes. Backflow cones need a dedicated backflow burner to create the downward smoke effect. A normal incense holder will let the cone burn, but it will not create the same cascade.
Can I use ordinary incense cones in a backflow burner?
No. 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, though air flow, room conditions and the burner design can affect the exact time.
