Delivering bad news is never easy, but the task is made more delicate by delivering a personal critique. No one likes his flaws pointed out to him, and odors are a particularly sensitive area. It's hard to completely avoid embarrassment for the recipient of the "you smell" talk. Approach the task with empathy and be prepared to offer solutions, such as a new deodorant or soap option. But, avoid subtle hints, such as sniffing the air or casually mentioning a smell -- if the guy hasn't picked up on his odor, he's unlikely to pick up on the hints.

- 1
Wait until the two of you are alone and in neutral setting, if possible. Do not initiate the talk during intimate times, in a public space, when you're arguing or rushed for time.
2Tell the guy, "I need to mention something to you. I've noticed you've had bad body odor lately." Say it straightforward and look him in the eye. Use an even, non-accusatory tone and refrain from delivering a litany of all the times he has smelled bad.
3Ask if the guy is out of deodorant or has begun using a new kind of shower or laundry soap. Suggest that these items may be to blame. If the answer is no, ask him to consider switching to a new brand to see if the problem is solved.
4Look into the guy's shower, if possible, to see if he is using a wash cloth or loofah when bathing. Suggest he do so.
5Remind the guy that certain odors, such as gym sweat or old cigarette smoke, can remain embedded in clothes if not washed vigorously. If you suspect this is the problem, suggest an approach that has worked for you, such as immediately washing smelly clothes and taking a shower.
6Allow the guy to respond and think of ways of solving the issue together, if he seems willing. If he gets defensive, do not push the point -- he will likely think about and try to correct the issue, but simply does not want to discuss it further.
