Review on 🐟 NewEGG Purple Clay Smoke Backflow Incense Burner Holder with Two Fishes Design by Rusty Heredia

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The smell of the supplied incense cones is unbearable

In the search for normal incense cones, I came across these backflow burners. I purchased this burner which came with several backflow incense cones. I was mesmerized by how the smoke flows down like water and the burner looks and burns incense exactly as shown in the photos. Very beautiful and exciting to look at! Now for the bad. Backflow incense has the most disgusting smell imaginable. I burned it in the upstairs bedroom with the door closed and my whole house stunk for days. I immediately opened all the windows and turned on a couple of fans to try to ventilate the house. That didn't help much either. The smell was in the upholstery, in the clothing, in everything that was permeable in the house. I could smell it for at least a week and it was so gross I felt like throwing up. The smell of regular incense has never bothered me, but these backflow cones are disgusting. I had to return everything for a refund. Maybe another brand of cones would be better but I don't want to risk it and it's a shame because the actual burner was perfect and that's the only reason I gave more than one star. If you're familiar with backflow incense and can stand the smell, you should definitely buy this cute little incense burner. Just note that the smell is more intense than traditional non-return cones.
