One night we went to the old HiFi nightclub and couple girls started throwing ice at him, obviously reacting to his smell. Buddy thought it was just a joke but eventually I pulled him aside and told him straight up he stunk and asked him how he was showering because everyone had been keeping quiet about it, but he stunk. I even offered to shower with him to show him how to wash properly. He seemed a bit sad about it, but took it to heart. Next time we met he told me the cologne he buys was reacting to the material of the t-shirts he always wore and that's where the smell came from.Changed his cologne and haven't had a whiff of him since.
Sometimes people need to be told and sometimes shaming (in a "polite" way) works. If some worker showed up in my house and stunk that bad I'd 100% call him out. "Dude, did you step in dog #### or something? You smell rank". Have a chuckle about it and let him finish his work.

You offered to shower with him.
