Start with... No food, no cigs, no farting.
Then periodically, while running the ACC fan on high speed, spray automotive-grade air freshener in the cowl air intake for about 15 seconds. You want to permeate all the ductwork; not just the interior. This is the key. Then throw in one or two of these blocks...

...under the seats.
Cheers,

I clean my car every weekend, already going into 3 months and still smell new. I tend to keep it that way for long time...

Smile Smell fresh.

Get some sheets of fabric softener (use on you cloth's dryer), put it around your car (under the seats, in the glove box, the pocket on the back of the 2 front seats), it will kill the bad smell & your car smell fresh .

Those lil California Scent air refreshners are strong and last a pretty long time, so keeping one or two in your car helps.

And if you have food, put it in the trunk to avoid any lingering after-odors.

Avoid placing any food in the car. 4+ years and the car is still completely odorless.

All food/groceries goes in the trunk and I use an OEM rubber trunk mat.

when u smoke in ur car, always open ONLY the window you are sitting next to. Do not open all four windows. After u r done, roll down all the windows and drive at least 40 mph to air it out. Do not keep food overnight and do not use ur mercedes as a delivery car. I also my My Schalden air freshener. It makes the car smell really good.
