I haven't been there so I can't compare, but my favourite is in Lithuania where the country has a large nunber of pine forests. After the rain you get a lovely smell of pine in the air. Even on the outskirts of the city and the airport you can smell it, not just far away. I remember once I travelled here from Italy, and just stepping off the plane I though "wow it smells so good".

The pine scent may actually be "terpenes": "Often the plant chemicals that smell pleasant are produced in leaf hairs... and the rain may damage these, releasing the compounds."
