How can I tell my coworker that she stinks without offending her?

Long story short my coworker smells absolutely horrendous and she's genuinely a nice person but I don't think that I can continue denying myself of oxygen every time she steps into the room.

Uh, play dumb, I guess. When she walks in the room, make a note that something smells bad. Then ask her if she stepped in anything. Of course, you'll find out that that's not the real reason, but just pretend that you don't know why the room suddenly started smelling bad. Maybe it'll make her just self-conscious enough to take better care of her hygiene
