      It is also that.

      Petrichor is the smell of rain and is a term like Channelle #5 where it’s a combination of ozone and geosmin and other compounds.

      Diff smell.

      I call this ‘outside’ smell and you can smell it on a clear day.

        There’s also fat volatiles in our skin that metals and sunlight degrade, so that outside smell could be the smell of you in the sun.

        I find I smell it more often this time of year. I guess the heavier and colder air?

        Or poliester fleece or blanket when you hear little sparks.
        Some will remember playing with a CRT TV screen 👀

          I remember the feeling and the sound, but not scent.

            Smells kinda dry and vaguely fishy/metallic. It’s very distinct, you know it when you smell it.

            Should be noted however that it’s not very healthy to breathe it in and large and/or repeated exposures can cause respiratory damage. Some static electricity is probably fine but I don’t want to encourage someone to go out there and learn what it smells like first hand
