★★★★★ 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.

A few things often kept alongside this piece.
About this product
Smoke that falls into the carved palm
- The backflow effect sends smoke downwards, so it drifts from the raised holder into the shallow bowl below.
- The hamsa shape gives the piece a gentle, symbolic presence, with carved floral detail around the central hollow.
- The stacked, stone-like form at the back adds height, guiding the eye from the cone to the pool of smoke.
- The wood has a warm brown grain with a pale, weathered finish across the raised carving.
- It works best as active décor, something to watch for a few quiet minutes rather than leave unattended.
Mango wood with carved hamsa detail
Made from mango wood in India, the burner has a sculptural hand shape with carved surface patterning and a recessed centre for the falling smoke. The raised cone holder sits at the back, giving the smoke a clear path down into the palm.
How the backflow effect works
Use it with backflow incense cones. These cones are designed with a hollow channel that draws the smoke downwards, creating the cascading effect. Ordinary incense cones will scent the room, but they will not create the same smoke waterfall.
Place the cone on the top holder, light the tip, then allow it to glow before the smoke begins to fall. Still air matters. Draughts, fans and open windows can break the flow and scatter the smoke.
Placement and wood care
Set the burner on a stable, heat-safe surface before lighting incense. Keep it away from curtains, loose papers and anything that may catch ash.
After use, let the burner cool fully before cleaning. Wipe away ash and residue with a dry cloth. Mango wood dislikes prolonged damp, so avoid soaking it or leaving it in a humid place.
The hamsa in context
The hamsa is a hand-shaped symbol found across Middle Eastern, North African, Jewish and Islamic visual traditions. It is traditionally associated with blessing, watchfulness and protection, often placed in homes or worn as jewellery as a meaningful sign. Here, the form becomes part of the incense ritual: the palm holds the smoke, the carved pattern frames it, and the object feels both decorative and quietly ceremonial without needing to dominate a room.

A thoughtful gift for ritual spaces
