Maybe a drain plug came loose in the floor pan and its weeping through while you drive in the rain?
Oh then I would assume front windshield and its on the bottom and leaking behind the dash .. just a thought maybe if not that then sunroof if you got one
if no smell and your roof is not wet as well as the floor i would think windshield or you were parked on a wierd angle and the rain came trough the hole your HVAC draws air from under the cowel
What kinda shape is the car in? Any rust? Could be windshield, or possibly firewall. My car looks like it had a stress crack up near the top corner of the windshiled that the previous owner eurathaned closed. If I ever repaint the car, I'll address it, but for now it doesn't leak.

And if you don't know the smell of antifreeze and aren't sure, the taste test will never fail you. Just dab your finger into it and bon appetite. It'll be sweet. Just don’t guzzle the stuff.....it'll kill ya.

It could be the sunroof roof drains, too. Open your sunroof, and locate the drains. Take a cup of water and pour it in and see if it is draining out properly. Make sure your car is really nice and dry before you start this process.
Incidentally, I would recommend pulling your carpet out of the car if it really got soaked. The sound deadening material will certainly mold/mildew and the car WILL smell. Get the carpet out and get it really dry, let it sit in the sun if you can (I know it is winter) and don't put the carpet back until you find the leak. Windshield is possible, as is a weatherstrip sealing issue.
If the roof drains are clear, I would sit in the car and have a friend put water on it with a hose. Try and see where it leaks.
