how long have you had the car? do you ever park the car outside? small animals like to make their homes in the car when its cold outside to stay warm. or does it smell sweat? it could be coolant

If the car sits as much as you say, it could be dust settled in your vents. It gets heated up and burns the nose a little, but that's a dry smell. Could be someone punked you, cracking some eggs into the A/C intakes, or just smeareding some dogshizz in there.
