there are these airfresheners that you can get at AutoZone that clip onto your vents.
i have them, and whenever i turn on the air, the scent is nice and fruity. (yes, im a fruity guy)

they're only like 3 bucks, so nothing major.
if that dosnt work, you can buy a grip load of them and stick 5 on each vent.
they look like this:

do this.
-drive around for 5mins to let motor heat up.
-roll down ALL windows and blast heat on its highest setting while driving around for a good 15-20mins
-come home and turn motor off
-let cool COMPLETELY (ie-overnight)
-start in morning to a very clean smelling car.
