Safflower Blossoms come from the Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius), a plant that has been known for thousands of years as a dye and medicinal plant. The intensely orange-red flowers release a slightly herbaceous, floral and discreet fragrance when burned.
Safflower blossoms have been found as grave goods in ancient Egyptian mummies and were considered sacred. In incense practice they are used primarily as colourful components of incense blends. They are said to symbolise the sun, stimulate creativity and joie de vivre, and act as a bringer of love and luck.
Use: Incorporate dried flowers into incense blends or place directly on incense charcoal. Mild, pleasant fragrance.
