You should start by checking/changing the cabin filter. Its located in the glove box

Change the cabin air filter! Be sure to remove all debris from the filter and the air inlet near the wipers. If odor still persists (and it might, depending how long it has been neglected) you might try spraying Ozium into the inlet when the A/C is running at full speed.
