Sweet smell?

My car smells sweet almost like antifreeze I checked everything and it seems fine, no overheating, no leaks, just a weird smell any ideas? You can smell it as soon as you enter the garage.

Don't know what it is but both of mine have had the same smell.

Yeah, I bypassed my heater for a bit on my black car before I got around to changing it and didn't make a difference with the smell. Pretty sure it's not an antifreeze smell.

check your ac. it might have a leak. the freon smells kinda sweet to me.

and if your ac doesnt blow cold or cool, you have a leak. freon never wears out but parts do that cause a leak.
