Does anyone know of a source or passage in Kabbalah or Hasidic literature that links the various spices for the Temple incense to the sefirot?

Kabbalistic thinking is pretty insistent that there are only 10 sefirot, not 11 sefaria.org/Sefer_Yetzirah.1.4?lang=he

Remak in Tefillah LeMoshe notes the correspondences between the 11 spices of the ketoret and the 10 sefirot plus the Heavenly Throne as follows:

Tzori - Tiferet
Tziporen - Hesed
Helbanah - Gevurah
Levonah - Keter
Mor - Malkhut
Ketziah - Netzah
Shibolet nerd - Hod
Karkom - Yesod
Kosht - Binah
Kilufah - Kisei
Kinammon - Hokhmah
