I must say I am struggling with patience. It was almost at the tip of the tongue to go tell this someone that as he moves around our work stations, he leaves his "trails" of such unpleasant BO. I know this is a very delicate matter of contention and must be addressed in the most artful manner.
My overly sensitive nostrils is able to detect his loathsome odor the very moment he steps into the office. Initially I thought it was just me. Later when the other girls hinted to me their discomfort, I knew it wasn't just my hallucination.
So now the bigggg question is how best to get the message across - loud and clear. Someone advised me to go get a deodorant, wrap it nicely and get someone else to pass it to him. Another suggested that I start spraying the work stations within reach of the smell with lemony air freshener whenever he emits his fetid stench.
Oh....what a chore and I so hate having to do so. Such a dilemma I'm in at this present moment....

Pot pourri, pot pourri at your space. Will it work?
The person with the BO most often does not realise he has it ... sebab hidung dia dah immune with his own smell.
The best thing is to tell him .. in a nice but straightforward way. The best person to do it? A good colleague (my experience at one of my former offices), or his immediate boss (my husband once did this with one of his subordinates). It also helps if the person with the BO is open to suggestions and not defensive. Good luck, Kay.
I would go for one to one, discreet straight talk.
If that does not work, get a room spray and spray every time he walks past you. Oh! he'll get the hint soon enough ;D
Pinch your nose each time he come near & shush him away...kakaka. Nothing works best than in your face approach, if he's your boss, do it with a smile lah :))
i have a supplier who has a raaallyyyy bad BO... everytime when he drops by to the office, i feel like telling him that he seriously need a deodorant to overcome the smell... but, niat tinggal niat jer...
woooo this one i kennot help.
Ada smelly experienced as well. Once my roommate than my work mate.
For both incidents, I couldnt think of anything but to give them deodorant as birthday present. Tapi 4 the first case , dia sayang pulak dah nak pakai adoilaaaaa
Dear TM,
Yes..I shall go get that potpourri. It's like drumming into him in a scented manner!
Dear QoTH,
Yes, I agree with you - they don't realise what they are emitting. Telling him, I have my reservations. This person also has an ego which is as big as the office space itself. Just this right recipe kan; terrible BO plus mammoth ego!!
I'll think of a way to do so one of these days. And yes, luck is really something I need too.
Dear Naz,
How to talk to him? He's so busukkk!!! The moment he gets close I'd have my tudung covering my nose. Tu pun dia tak get the hint.
Room spray is something I'll try. If he doesn't get the hint everytime I spray the area...sah lah dia...haishh tak tau nak kata lah.
Dear Tommy,
Thank God he's not the Boss. Else, it'd be total avoidance. Pinch nose?? Outch...outch... now why should I hurt myself when he's the one who stinks to highest &^%#
Dear Tee,
Tu lah...in the end niat tinggal niat je kan. I'll do the soft approach first. Kalau tak berkesan, harus terkeluar depan muka dia kot!!
Dear DR,
