Product Details

How the backflow effect works

Backflow cones have an internal perforated channel that directs smoke towards the base of the cone instead of allowing it to rise. The result is a dense smoke flow that cascades downwards — especially visible when the burner has a cavity or collection tray. The effect is more pronounced in environments without drafts.

Lavender — fragrance and tradition

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has been used in purification and relaxation rituals since ancient Rome and the medieval Mediterranean. Its name derives from the Latin lavare (to wash), referring to its use in bathing. In aromatic tradition, lavender is associated with calm, rest, and mental clarity — a classic companion for meditation sessions or concentration work.

The aromatic properties described are cultural and sensory in nature. They do not constitute medical advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a special burner?

Yes. Backflow cones require a burner with a central hole at the base of the cone holder and a cavity or tray where the descending smoke can collect. Conventional burners do not create the waterfall effect.

How long does a cone last?

Approximately 20-25 minutes per cone under normal conditions. Time may vary depending on room ventilation.

Are they safe indoors?

Yes, in spaces with minimal ventilation. Like any burning incense, avoid very enclosed rooms or near people with respiratory sensitivity. Do not leave unattended near flammable materials.

How should they be stored?

In a cool, dry place, away from humidity to maintain the fragrance and integrity of the cones. An airtight container extends their duration.
