Would be rather embarrassing if it happened on a date or something though...

I was under the assumption that we do not have in cabin air filters? I know my Z as an 09 model does not. But, perhaps I am grossly incorrect.

Per your problem sounds like mold in the evaporator.

The '09s did not come with the cabin filter but use the same air handler as several other Nissan/Infiniti models that do. Everything is there but the filter. I had my dealer install a filter in my '09.

There is a hole in the firewall through which you can see if the filter is installed (at least on '09s). Remove the battery cover and look behind and below the battery.
