I'd probably go along the lines of " phowr BO, <sniff me pits> is it me???"
LOL oh its you, you should try (lynx, sure...) it works pretty well mate.
pretty subtle and not poking fun, or isolating them.

I think the correct answer is to take the person to one side and tell them that you have noticed that at times their body odour can be quite powerful and unpleasent
you do this as opposed to saying some people have mentioned etc etc as then the person does not think everyone has been calling them a smelly g*t behind their backs.
keep it between you and the person do not go over board do not make it light hearted or a joke
re-visit if problem continues.

If you can get to his/her mobile ... send them a text from said phone to their own number...
"Hello, this is your phone here. Just had to get out of your pocket - good god your gonads stink." etc etc

Best way is to say
"What's that disgusting smell? Christ it's revolting!"
When he says "Don't know"
Say "Oh it's you, you ******* stink. Don't you wash?"
I find this approach gets to the crux of the problem quickly and without any confusion.

Build a replica of Stonehenge around his desk using air fresheners/deoderants and soap.
If he doesn't get the hint at least you'll have an interesting piece of "artwork" to look at.

Everyone notices, but no-one says anything. How does one tell someone that they punk??
"This takes the person out of the problem as you are blaming their clothes and not them"

Mind you, it's far more likely the git in question doesn't wash, or cycles twenty miles into work and doesn't shower.
