Let me start by saying this incense burner is *gorgeous* to look at when in use. The way the smoke cascades down like a waterfall is downright hypnotic – my nephews weren't wrong about that! I found myself staring at it for minutes, completely zoning out (which says a lot coming from someone who normally avoids incense due to scent-triggered migraines).
The green handmade ceramic has a lovely earthy texture, and the included metal tweezers make handling the cones mess-free. It creates such a peaceful atmosphere that I've started using it during my evening meditation sessions – just with unscented cones since strong fragrances still bother me.
Now for the not-so-great parts: That adorable angel decoration? Yeah, it's basically useless. The piece doesn't properly attach and tumbles off at the slightest vibration (mine chipped on day two). Also, while the reverse smoke effect works beautifully in completely still air, any draft will disrupt the waterfall illusion.
Final verdict? If you want a functional art piece that creates stunning visual effects with incense (and don't mind supergluing decorations), this delivers. Just keep expectations realistic about its fragility and need for perfect conditions.
