I know of a similar issue occuring at my work last year, except it was with a guy in our group with notoriously bad breath.

Someone told our team lead and a "business etiquette" topic was added as an agenda item on our next monthly team meeting.

This gave the boss a chance to address general etiquette issues and bring up the topic of personal hygene anonymously. He did a great job mixing it with other stuff, like email etiquette, dress code, meeting etioquette, timeliness, etc.

It worked really well and brought the issue to the table without direct confrontation.
