Check under your seats for discarded stuff? Maybe an apple?
Are the carpets wet? No mention of cab or coupe.
Sunroof drains clear? Drains in front of windshield clear, any standing water in there.
Have you changed your cabin filter out. Makes a huge difference with my Subaru and X5 !

What you describe seems similar to what I'm describing. I forgot to add, the suede headliner in combination with the other fabrics inside the car also add to that distinctive smell. Leather does overpower the smell of a car.

I’ve used one
i used a friends O-Zone generator on an old Mercedes one time. Left it in overnight. It removed all smells from the car. Made it sterile. I borrowed it again when a cat pissed on my wife’s boots. It worked on that too. I’m a believer

Ozone is an extremely reactive substance and can be thought of as super-oxygen. Although not approved by the FDA, it is being used in health-care clinical test facilities to destroy bacteria, spores and viruses when standard treatments fail. It essentially kills bacteria on contact and can be applied internally to the human body in measured and controlled amounts.
I'm going to hook it up to my wife's CPAP, just for fun.

Ozone is what cuts the life of rubber products short. It is the biggest issue for aging tires, as an example. The two things I would check are to ensure that the A/C recycle button is never on and that the cabin filter is clean. When I purchased my 2008 C2S, I had the first oil change done at 2.5K miles and the service technician reported that there was a mouse nest in the cabin filter. I, of course, had it replaced. The car was sitting on the dealer lot for while when new.

I've had several cars where there was an unpleasant odor which I got rid of by removing the cabin filter and spraying Febreeze into the empty box while running the fan on high. Then installed a new filter.
