I thought it was ozone.

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.

There's a saying, someone smells like sun.

Ozone is the smell of an electrical fire

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
