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.

About this product

Sweet frankincense in the room
  • The fragrance is resinous and warm, with a sweeter edge than dry church incense.
  • The smoke is made for movement, drifting downwards through a backflow burner like a quiet waterfall.
  • The cone format gives a concentrated burst of scent, suited to a short evening pause or a settled corner at home.
  • Sweet frankincense feels especially at home beside low light, a clear surface, and a few undisturbed minutes.
  • The higher fragrance percentage gives a more pronounced aroma while the cone is in use.
Plant based cones, rolled in India

These cones are made from resins and plant material, then hand rolled in India. They are vegan and cruelty free.

How the backflow effect works

Backflow incense is shaped for a specific kind of burner. Once the tip is lit and the flame is gently blown out, the smoke travels down through the cone and falls through the burner rather than rising straight upwards.

Use only with a backflow incense burner on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Let the cone finish completely before touching or moving any ash, and keep it away from draughts, fabric and unattended spaces.

Frankincense in context

Frankincense has a long place in incense traditions, valued for its resinous scent and its connection with ritual, stillness and threshold moments. In home use, sweet frankincense incense cones offer a simple way to mark a change of pace: lighting one after tidying a room, before quiet reading, or as part of an evening routine. The meaning sits in the act as much as the fragrance, a small visible pause made from scent and smoke.

Pack details

Each pack contains 12 sweet frankincense backflow incense cones. Approximate burn time is 30 minutes per cone. Pack weight is 38 g. A compatible backflow incense burner is needed for the smoke effect.

A thoughtful incense gift

A good choice for someone who enjoys resinous incense, calm home rituals, or the visual theatre of backflow smoke. Pair it with a backflow burner for a fuller gift.

Common questions

Can I use these in an ordinary incense holder?
They are made for backflow incense burners. An ordinary holder will not create the downward smoke effect.
How do I light a backflow cone?
Place it flat base down, light the tip, let a small flame catch, then gently blow it out so the tip glows.
Why is the smoke not flowing downwards?
Backflow smoke works best when the cone is properly aligned on the burner and the room is still. Draughts can disturb the flow.
