leaving a can of Lynx on her desk.
Lynx, I believe, is designed more for chaps. I'd leave a can of Impulse....if someone says 'get some lynx' - you know you BO problems!!!
We do a pretty physical job and even with the best antiperspirant/deodorant in the world, at the end of the working day even a well-groomed chap like me can get a bit whiffy. So we go home, have a shower and return to acceptability.
What gets me is the fact that there are blokes who turn up for work at 0500 on a Tuesday morning, after a weekend off, already stinking of BO.
How do they do that?

It's funny, this was a scenario in a teamworking course I was on a while ago 
The course consisted of 4 brits, 2 dutch, a couple of malaysians and an amercian.
The Brits hummed and hawed over what to do, approached the subject very bashfully and felt very awkward about the situation.
The Malaysians refused to broach the subject and would put up with it.
The American tactfully approached the person and suggested they keep some deoderant in their desk.
The dutch couldn't believe anyone found it difficult to talk about and would tell the offending party "You stink".
The point of the the exercise was just to highlight how people from different cultures would approach a problem differently.
got to love the dutchies for their directness.

Hmm. Speak to HR, esp. if boss will at any time meet customers / clients. If they will not do anything about it, either approach boss about it directly but politely or just put up with it.
Luckily she doesn't see customers as we are upstairs in accounts. None of the guys from sales will venture into accounts today - it's that bad!
