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 know exactly what you’re talking about and have asked about it before to no avail. It’s especially pungent when it’s windy outside and someone comes in. I’ve experienced this everywhere I’ve ever lived, so it isn’t a climate thing.
