Watch the smoke spill downwards in soft white ribbons, gathering like a small waterfall over a backflow burner. These jasmine backflow incense cones turn fragrance into quiet theatre, pairing the floral sweetness of jasmine with the slow movement of sinking smoke.
The falling-smoke effect
Each cone is made for a dedicated backflow incense burner, where the smoke travels down rather than rising straight up.
A hollow channel in the base lets cooled, denser smoke cascade through the burner’s tiers or channels.

It suits slow rituals, meditation spaces, reading corners and unhurried evenings at home.
The fragrance gives a room a more intimate mood without needing a large flame or an open bowl.
Because the smoke is part of the display, place the burner somewhere you can enjoy watching it.

How to use them well
Place one cone on a dedicated backflow burner, aligning the hole in the cone with the burner opening. Light the tip, let it catch, then gently blow out the flame so the cone smoulders.
Use on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from draughts, fabrics, children and pets. Good airflow matters, but strong air movement can disturb the cascade. Let ash cool fully before cleaning the burner.
A modern incense ritual
Backflow incense is a modern development in the wider incense tradition, designed to make smoke visible as a moving pattern rather than simply a rising t…
