If it's a female, definitely have another female talk to them about it. Also, if it actually impacts their job, then approach it that way. Something like "Hey Tina, you are doing a great job with XYZ and I want to talk to you about something that is impacting your job that you may not be aware of. It seems you have some type of body odor recently and others are hesitant to approach you or work with you. It may be some thing you're unaware of or completely aware of, but I'd like you look into resolving it so we don't have to have this conversation again."
Do it at the end of the day and just keep it short and send them on their way.
If they don't do a good job, then their smell just makes it worse, so fire them.
If they do a good job, and their smell doesn't impact their work or the work of others, then just let them be smelly. So what if no one asks them to lunch or engages in chit chat with them.
