I am looking for a word that explain the sense of being in the fresh and cool air after rain or snow, such as this situation: After a small rain, no crowd and no noise nearby, someone walks on the road, breathes in the fresh air, feels serene, calm, peaceful and pleasant.
There is a word like 'petrichor' :
A pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather.
But it means a smell, I have looked up synonyms for peace in a theasurus, get some words like 'tranquil', 'halcyon'.
UPDATE
There are some phrases/verses describe the sensation in Chinese, such as
-
空山新雨后，天气晚来秋。（kōng shān xīn yǔ hòu, tiān qì wǎn lái qiū）
After(后) fresh rain(新雨) in mountains bare(空山)
Autumn(秋) permeates evening(晚) air(气).
-
灯火阑珊处 （dēng huó lán shān chù）
means somewhere far from the lights(灯火).
阑珊 means there is scarcely any light or lamp.
So I wonder if there is a more suitable word(or phrase even a sentence) for the serene sensation.

Why I want to look for this word?
I am trying to name my own Wechat Official Account(where I post my writings about book and life, it seems like a blog), I named it with “不热闹”(bú rè nào), because it's a serene place for me to think and learn. So when I name it in English, I want a word to express my feelings. The “不热闹” can be transliterated as "no noise". You know this is not a translation, which can not express the sensation at all.
I found the 'petrichor' when I researched at dictionaries, so I wonder if there are some other words like it, which explains a beautiful and poetic sensation.
Then I asked my first question in this community. Thanks for your help anyway. I really feel thankful and happy (sometimes surprised) here.

The Japanese word/concept SHIBUMI comes to mind. An almost inexpressible sense of beauty, completeness or contentment.
Shibui (渋い) (adjective), shibumi (渋み) (noun), or shibusa (渋さ) (noun) are Japanese words which refer to a particular aesthetic of simple, subtle, and unobtrusive beauty. Like other Japanese aesthetic terms, such as iki and wabi-sabi, shibui can apply to a wide variety of subjects, not just art or fashion.
