My Fiesta smells like damp soap

I have Ford Fiesta Ghia 1600 auto. With the air con on or off, I am getting a dampish slightly soapy smell. Are you able to advise what the problem might be?

Might be a failed radiator matrix. Might be condensation on the ventilation trunking. Might be a sodden pollen filter.
