Dr. Jon's Flowers in the Dark

I have to know, what does ozone smell like? Have I smelled it before and not known?

I would like to know this as well

According to Scientific American:
Storm Scents: It's True, You Can Smell Oncoming Summer Rain. Before the rain begins, one of the first odors you may notice as winds pick up and clouds roll in is a sweet, pungent zing in your nostrils. That's the sharp, fresh aroma of ozone—a form of oxygen whose name comes from the Greek word ozein (to smell).Jul 18, 2012

So I assume we are talking about a scent similar to what is found in Chiseled Face Summer Storm and B&M Petrichor. Lol or is that the scent that follows the storm?

Here's what I found.
One of these odors, called "petrichor," lingers when rain falls after a prolonged dry spell. ... Another scent associated with rain is ozone. During a thunderstorm, lightning can split oxygen and nitrogen molecules in the atmosphere, and they in turn can recombine into nitric oxide.Jun 21, 2013

I feel myself wanting to type an essay. Must resist.
I am well versed in the formation of storms, the inflow, the outflow etc.
I have also stood both in the middle of death valley and fields in the midwest as a storm blows in. I had always assumed the smell was wet vegetation from upwind of my position as the outflow blows to me. Much stronger in the desert as tumbleweed and desert flora are much more pungent when wet.

Without getting too technical, the downflow of cool air in a storm column could conceivably carry air from the ozone layer and when it hits the earth and flattens out, it becomes the outflow.

I am not convinced yet. Your theory is sound and its conceivable, but I am still skeptical. What I will do is, in Aug, when I return to school, I will corner my weather instructor. I aced his class so he can entertain my question, he owes me that. My question would be, "If ozone had a distinct odor, could I smell it in the outflow of a storm before the precipitation begins?"

One of my boring hobbies is to photograph storm cloud formations around my farm at sunset. Sunsets are cool, even more so when a storm cloud silhouette is captured.

I think the scent of coffin wood is easier to comprehend as it leaves it to our imagination and less thought provoking than ozone.

I didn't know what ozone smelled like either. I just searched the internet and posted what I found. Whether that is accurate or not I have no idea.

No harm, no foul. But now I wont be able to unthink this till I know for sure. Another itch in my brain.

Storm scent, ozone, whatever. I'm intrigued. So, a tub is on its way

And is the coffin wood with or without corpse? So many questions.

Maybe we can't know for sure - it would be pretty difficult to isolate just ozone in a natural, storm setting what with everything else blowing around out there and while a lab situation may be able to control and isolate a specific substance, would that be an accurate representation? I prefer to get the whole natural mix and then sniff around trying to pick out this and that. For soap purposes I think we're going for impressionism rather than reality. Have you smell the L&L Grooming soap thats supposed to smell like outer space? I think it was called Final Frontier.

I had a sample of the Final Frontier soap. If that's what outer space smells like I never want to go! I passed it on to a friend who didn't mind the scent but when he used the soap it lit his face up, his neck looked like a red rash.
