I had this same problem in an office I used to work in many years ago. I took the 'offending' guy to one side and quietly explained that people in the office were conscious of a particular smell that only appeared when he did, then asked if there was a problem I could help with regarding this.

The guy took it well and explained that he had a bacterial problem that was being treated by the doctor but would try to 'smell nicer' in the future. He also thanked me for telling him as he didn't realise how bad it was.

You and a friend follow him from work one day and jump him. But instead of attacking him just douse him in lynx africa.

Is there any other species on the planet that reacts in such a fked-up manner to its own natural smell?

Quite a few actually. Most mammals use smell to determine the suitability of a mate. Humans just have the capacity to make a bigger thing of it.

Only solution - to be taken by line manager - is direct, frank communication.

And set up a motion air freshener ?

Stick a bar of soap in the persons coat pocket, with a note saying "Have a shower, you stink you smelly fker"

Woo deja vu! ...A quite few years ago now... a person at work (proffessional office) had a similar issue, one of the staff was quite direct with "Christ XXXXXX you stink!" That was after a cake of Palmolive Gold (noted anti BO soap) was left on the persons desk and nothing improved.

Little did i realise how openly he'd sort it out, at the end of the day when we were all about to leave Al said to the guy that was whiffy "Mike* do you have any spare deodrant?"
Mike said "yeah sure!, you need to borrow it?"
Al said "No mike the team mentioned you're a bit smelly would you mind using some of your spare deodrant" ,
