Spray it into the external vents at the base of the windshield with it running on fresh until you start to really smell it in the cabin, then switch it to recirc and repeat using the internal intake vents. You can’t hurt the system or yourself so just keep doing it until you feel it is working effectively and the smell is gone.

The function of a cabin filter is only to stop excessive dust particles not vapor and/or scent from passing thru.
Yep, I did this for mine and it works and smells awesome now.
