Check your coolant level to see if you have lost any. It's either a leaking heater core or the drain for the A/C condensation is plugged up

You said it had a sweet smell. That would make it coolant.

OK, then it's either A/C condensation or a rainwater leak.

Watching this: As HT said if not coolant it's either rain water or the normal water A/C use makes called "condensate" to mess with your head.
If A/C will blow cold air on a warm day and doesn't drip to the ground there's the problem. If humid use of A/C makes a lot of condensate and frequently just a little rubber hose at firewall is plugged up if that's the source.
Generally can just pinch those and the water will come out - or like a plastic wire tie pushed in there. Use plastic, not metal as there's a evaporator in there that you don't want to damage if good now.
I know it stinks and can be hard but fix this and IF NEEDED REMOVE RUGS AND DRY THE WHOLE THING OUT! Even if just lifted up and fans can do on a good day.
Good luck with finding the source and the fix. Going blind but need to see the source, then the fix,
