Why does outside has a “scent”?

Whenever someone comes back from a walk outside on a crisp day, they have an odor that’s distinctive of outside. My nose is not the best, but I’d say somewhat metallic. What is causing that smell?

I live in Montana and I’ve always noticed this smell on people in the fall and winter. Its a mix of metallic/wet dog for me. I am curious to know what it is too!
