no, you can definitely smell it

I associate it with the smell of electricity. I can smell model train transformers and lightning and stuff like that

I've got an ozone SDS in front of me that says "Colorless to blue gas with very pungent odor"

My bad, I assume I'm wrong, interestingly tho when I search for it I get different results. I heard it was an odorless gas during my welding training.
