If your co-worker has a conscientious objection to using soap and water to wash him/herself and the odor makes you dizzy and suicidal, solve the problem by going down to the pharmacy and buying the strongest air-freshening product available. For added visual humor, buy one of those royal pine scented Car-Freshners and hang it near the offending stench factory.

It's far worse when one of your cow-workers is overly fond of perfume. It's tough because you can smell her coming and your rarely ever smell her leaving. Even the keyboards that she types on are contaminated long after she has been on them.
I agree with the first comment...it is even worse when that overly perfumed person loves to HUG you EVERY TIME she sees you!!!AGH!
Is it too obvious to hang those pine tree things at the end of every bookshelf? Because our staff smells fine, but our patrons, um, don't.

At times like those, it's quite appropriate to discreetly use air freshener and spray between bookshelves. I find that Air Wick "fresh linen" is enormously popular with our patrons.
OMG yes! Is it a requirement that if you use the library then you don't bathe? Our air conditioner broke down during a heat wave and I was seriously tempted to put out a display on the "Joy of Deodorant" but was told I would have to pass it by the head Librarian first.
Monster librarian:
Inter-office hugging is a BIG nono. No. No. No Hugging. Or learning, please.
NOW you tell me! I could have made a gift of earrings fashioned from those little air freshener trees for my malodorous cow-irker...
I have considered putting the tree things on lanyards and keeping them at the reference desk to hand out to particularly aromatic patrons. Want to use the computer? You will need your library card and this charming pine-scented necklace!
Fortunately, my cow-orkers all smell pretty neutral.
