How to remove residual smell in used X5?

I bought a 2024 CPO X5. Not sure where the smell is coming from in my cabin. It's not an unpleasant smell, just not my cup of tea. It smells like maybe the previous owner sprayed cologne or some strong fragrance into the seats/carpet/etc.

As far as I know, the US models do not come with the cabin air package, so that's one item I've ruled out.

How would one go about getting rid of a persistent smell, and getting back to OEM? As in, no smell at all, other than upholstery? I would be happy to learn a process to eventually "replace" this smell. But after 4 weeks it seems to be as strong as ever.
