Ask HN: What's that pleasant smell on your skin after it's been in the sun?

3 points by gerbilly ↗ HN
Have you ever noticed that pleasant smell your skin gets when it's been in the sun?

I used to work on a dairy farm, and when the cows would come in on a sunny day, they smelled of it too.

Does anybody know what it is?
