Cinnamon Flowers are the dried, unripe flower calyxes of the cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum verum or C. cassia). They have a delicately cinnamony, slightly floral, and sweetish fragrance that is gentler and more feminine than the bark.
Cinnamon flowers are a relatively rare incense, particularly appreciated in Asian incense traditions and in romantic-esoteric practice. They are said to be especially suited for love incenses, to appeal to the senses, and to create a tender, inviting atmosphere. Also popular for good-luck fumigations.
Use: Place the delicate flower calyxes on incense charcoal. A more subtle, softer cinnamon fragrance than the bark.
