If the smell is a bit like currey you may have anti-freeze leaking onto a warm part of the engine and the smell is comming into the car via the air vents.
If you shut off all air vents does the smell go?

Does the car have air conditioning? If the air con is not serviced and cleaned it can reeeaaally stink.
