Default Heavy Rain=Smelly Car!

Hey I recently bought and 06 250. I noticed when it rains fairly heavy (driving through puddles etc) the next day my car smells horrible! Usually by the next day after that the smell is gone. Ive felt around for wet carpet and do not feel any water anywhere.. Has anyone experienced anything like this or have any ideas? Thanks

I have this problem on my is300 changed cabin air as soon as I bought tue car little shy of 2 yrs ago. But I was wondering if this could be from the notorious leak that comes in on the drivers side in the trunk and if so how can I fix because my girlfriend dosent understand how I drive a lexus that from time to time smells like dry vomit=grossss
