That’s normal mysty smell
only way to kinda get rid of it is to use some evaporator coil cleaner on your evaporator

Unfortunately so. Unlike modern vehicles which may have a filter next to the evaporator (some even containing activated charcoal) , all we have is that mesh at the cowl which can keep small birds and large beetles from our evaporators.
