How to politely tell a colleague that they smell a lot?

I have a colleague who has a really low bar on personal hygiene. They smell and this is something I started noticing recently.

Once I started noticing it, I cannot take my mind off it every time this colleague comes near me to talk.

How do I tell them about this? He/She is a very nice person at heart and they probably have no idea about this.
