I'm still noticing the sweet smell when I start the car hot. So it's going in to the mechanic on Tuesday.

use your nose....really...try and catch a wiff ..is it the hvac ducts...coming in the window...front/rear of car..inside /outside...some cars have their heater fan motors running at very low speed even when the system is off so the smell could be coming from the vents via the heater core area

As noted, the heater core is completely dry.
