The floral scent of D.superbus was dominated by only two compounds: (Z)-β-ocimene (49.8%), and β-caryophyllene (23.5%). Minor components were (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate (0.6%), methyl benzoate (1.8%), methyl salicylate (1.7%), dimethyl salicylate (2.0%), cis-asarone (1.1%), and β-pinene (1.1%) e.g.

Main components of the haedspace of Dianthus superbus ssp. alpestris were (E)-ocimene (43.2%) and caryophyllene (25.5%). The scent is not clove-like but warm-aromatic floral, based on benzyl salicylate (0.02%), vanillin (0.03%), (E)-isoeugenol (0.03%), (E)-2,3-dihydrofarnesol (0.9%), (E)-2,3-dihydrofarnesal (0.1%), methylisoeugenol (0.3%), methyl salicylate (4.1%) and methyl benzoate (4.6%).

Emitted scent compounds in Dianthus superbus were (nmol/gFW): β-ocimene (77.5), β-caryophyllene (17.7), benzaldehyde (0.5), benzyl alcohol (trace), benzyl benzoate (0.5), methyl salicylate (3.7), α-humulene (0.4), limonene (1.8), myrcene (3.8), (Z)-3-hexenol (0.1), (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate (2.9), and (Z)-3-hexenyl benzoate (trace) e.g.
