1. Natural Smoke Backflow Incense Cones – Sandalwood Lavender I bought these backflow incense cones because I’ve been into aromatherapy lately and wanted to try something new for my meditation space. The idea of smoke flowing downward, as it supposedly helps with relaxation and calming the environment, sounded intriguing. The delivery was quick, arriving within two weeks, which was a pleasant surprise.
Using them, I was pleasantly surprised by how well they worked. The scent is a beautiful balance between sandalwood and lavender—subtle but noticeable. I’ve tried other incense cones before, but these have a richer aroma and the backflow effect adds a calming visual element.
Pros:
-
The backflow effect is mesmerizing and adds a nice touch to any room.
-
The fragrance is not overpowering, just enough for a relaxing atmosphere.
-
Long-lasting burn time—each cone lasted longer than I expected.
Cons:
-
It took me a few tries to get the backflow to work perfectly, but that might just be a learning curve.
-
The scent doesn’t fill a large room as much as I hoped; it’s better suited for smaller spaces.
In comparison to similar products in the US, these cones are a steal. You’d easily pay double for a similar quality in a local store. This product exceeded my expectations. I’d absolutely buy these again.

2. MAYJAM Aromatherapy Essential Oil (Lavender, Vanilla, Jasmine) I decided to try this aromatherapy oil set because the combination of lavender, vanilla, and jasmine is hard to resist, especially when used in a diffuser. It arrived quickly, and I was eager to test it out.
When I first used it, I was impressed with the immediate scent fill. The oils blended perfectly in my diffuser, and the aroma was calming and soothing. Each oil had its own distinct note, yet they complemented each other beautifully. I used it mostly in my bedroom during the evening, and the oils helped create a peaceful environment, perfect for unwinding.
Pros:
-
The oils have a smooth, calming scent that lasts for hours.
-
Good quality for the price.
-
No harsh chemicals—just pure and natural.
Cons:
-
The oils could be a little stronger, especially if you’re used to very potent diffusers.
-
The individual bottles are a bit small, so you might go through them faster than expected.
For the price, I would say this is a solid choice. Essential oils of similar quality in the US can be quite expensive, but this set provided good value for money. This product met my expectations, and I will likely reorder.

3. PHATOIL Aromatherapy Fragrance Oil (Coconut & Vanilla, Strawberry Cherry, Lemon) I was drawn to this set because I love fruity and tropical scents, and the coconut & vanilla combo was too tempting. It shipped quickly, and I immediately put it to use in my living room diffuser.
The scent blend is fantastic, with the coconut & vanilla standing out, followed closely by the strawberry cherry, which is sweet but not overly so. The lemon scent adds a refreshing zing. The oils blend beautifully and didn’t overwhelm the space. My living room smelled like a tropical vacation for hours!
Pros:

4. Mixed Natural Reflux Tower Incense Cones I picked up this set for its unique shape and promise of a calming fragrance. The idea that these cones could help remove odors while also providing a soothing aroma was appealing. Delivery was fast, and the cones themselves are quite interesting—large, and they burn slower than most incense I’ve tried.
After using them, I was pleased with how they diffused the scent. They do a fantastic job at neutralizing any unwanted smells, especially in my kitchen area. The fragrance isn’t as strong as I would’ve liked, but the odor-removing effect was noticeable.
Pros:
-
Great for eliminating odors—perfect for kitchens and bathrooms.
-
Slow burn time means you get more for your money.
-
The cone shape is unique and works well with my incense burner.
Cons:
-
The scent is very mild, so it may not be the best choice if you’re looking for something powerful.
-
Takes a bit of practice to get the best backflow effect.
For the price, it’s a decent product—better than the standard incense cones you’d find in stores. I would purchase these again, but only for spaces that need odor control, not for a strong fragrance experience.

5. New Simulation Flame Aromatherapy Machine Mini Air Humidifier I was intrigued by the idea of a mini humidifier that also works as a diffuser, especially with its colorful LED lights. It arrived quickly, and I set it up in my office the moment it got here. The flame simulation effect is a nice touch—it adds a cozy, ambient glow.
As for functionality, the humidifier works well. It doesn’t add too much moisture to the air, but it does create a comfortable environment. The LED lights are a nice touch, though they’re a bit gimmicky for me. It’s quiet, which I appreciate for a work environment.
Pros:
-
Compact and sleek design.
-
Quiet operation, which is great for work or sleep.
-
Cute LED lights that add a cozy atmosphere.
Cons:
-
The humidification isn’t as powerful as I hoped.
-
The LED light function could be brighter for better visibility.
Considering the price, it’s an affordable option compared to similar devices in the US. While it met my basic expectations, I wouldn’t say it’s a must-have for serious humidification, but it’s perfect for light use and decoration.

6. Palo Santo Natural Incense Sticks I’ve heard a lot about Palo Santo and its grounding properties, so I decided to try these incense sticks. They arrived on time and were nicely packaged. The scent of Palo Santo is unique—woody and slightly sweet. It burned cleanly and evenly, and I was impressed by how long the sticks lasted.
I used these during my yoga sessions, and they definitely helped create a calming atmosphere. The fragrance isn’t overpowering, but it does linger in the air for quite some time.
Pros:
-
High-quality Palo Santo that burns evenly.
-
Perfect for relaxation, meditation, or yoga.
-
Long-lasting fragrance.
Cons:
-
The scent might be too subtle for some.
-
A little pricier than other incense sticks, though I’d say it’s worth it.
The price is slightly higher than typical incense sticks, but for the quality and unique scent, it’s worth it. This product met my expectations and I’d buy it again for a more spiritual, calming experience.
US $2.39
Overall Opinion: I’m actually pretty impressed with my AliExpress haul. The prices were way lower than I expected, and the quality was often better than some US alternatives.
