how will you tell your friend that he/she had a bad odor (bad breath etc.) without offending or hurt their feelings? is there a way for this? have you done this before? what happens next?

I have a friend in college my mistah in our navy reserve force and he had that bad breath but he is a good friend of mine. What I did in able for him to know that he had a foul smell is I buy a 2 toothpaste with a 2 give away toothbrush and a 2 oral mouthwash the next step as we clean our combat shoes I tried to tell a story about the give aways in the grocery store and asked what brand of toothpaste he was using and whallala it is not the brand that I purchase because I sneak to his personal thing and I knew he used different brand right that very moment I showed the * so called buy 1 take 1 scheme* and told him that there is a rumor that youre brand of toothpaste causes bad breath try this brand and I gave to him the toothpaste and the toothbrush and I said this is free too that is the oral mouthwash and he gladly accept it because he knew I have one too! And that it's my tactic works and from then on he uses the brand of toothpaste I gave and the oral mouthwash too and every body is happy lol!! I think it is the best way to do not to offend a friend and it works fine..

I would gift him/her a perfume (not a deodorant) and write a note .. hope you like the fragrance .. and sign .. keep spreading the fragrance if you like it .. love always .. !!

i would usually offer them some chewing gum or mints and that way they will probably get the message without me hurting their feelings
