Absolutely. I live in country Australia. Last weekend my DH had been out slashing on the tractor and as we were walking back from the shed, it started raining lightly. The combination of the rain on warm fresh cut grass, ozone etc was just incredible.
I thought you meant your DH had pee'd on the tractor, and I wondered where your post was going😆

I love it too. I can tell when rain is coming because the air smells different beforehand, I've even proven weather forecasts wrong with my nose before. 
I love when the air changes to the winter smell. I haven't noticed it quite yet this year even though we've had some cooler days that have got close. I'm not a fan of winter but I love the smell of the air.
Same. I can tell when it's going to snow because I can smell it in the air.

I love smelling the air, especially when it's cold and crisp.
It used to smell of chocolate outside my house when the wind was from the north because I live less than a mile from Cadburys factory. Alas its closed down.
Dublin?

I used to love this but I lost my sense of smell 8 years ago. I miss it a lot.
I'm also reading this with nostalgia. I lost my sense of smell at the end of 2019. I miss the smells of outdoors. It's also incredibly frustrating. I got some perfume for Xmas. I had to get my sister to smell it to see what it smelled of, can't smell food cooking etc. In a cruel twist of fate I can still smell really bad smells eg raw sewage, rotting things etc

LOL.. is slashing an Australian term? A slasher is a big wide tow-behind tractor attachment that cuts long grass in paddocks.
Although I believe the term is also used for urinating here also.

Yes I love it too, especially in the autumn when it’s cold and crispy, and in forests, mmmmmmm. I love the smell of the air in the Lake District, and I once went to the Alps in summer and that was amazing too.
I live a flat with a balcony and I go out no sniff the air at night before going to bed!
