Odd smell from vents

I own a barely 2 week old 06 tl, in the mornings when I start the car, I get this leafy, dirty laundry, I dont know what kind of a smell it is, once I hit the circulation button its gone in a matter of minutes, I park the car in a closed garage, this has been going on for only 2 days. Need some tips. Thanks.

Mold / mildew can grow in the A/C ducts - happened twice on my 2004 TL. Dealer srayed a growth inhibitor into the ductwork that eventually took care of the problem.

his car is 2 weeks OLD.

Maybe its the closed garage...do you start the vents while you are inside..if so ...try waiting till you get out of the garage. see if that makes a differrence.
