Well I'm not sure if I could help, but maybe you should take him with you to the store, and like buy things that you would usually buy, and make sure he's with you when you go into the deodorant, shower gel, soap, and toothpaste department, and act normally, ask him what he thinks about different scents but only for you, then offer to buy him some good smelling things.
Or I had a cousin who did this. For his birthday or valentines day or your anniversary, make or get him a basket with candies a card some good smelling things, and if its for valentines day maybe a pair of heart boxers LOL! Good Luck!

You should be honest but if you want to work up to the point of being able to truly trust what you say when and if you have to here is what I would do.
IF you spend a lot of time together at his house and he has clothes everywhere or what not ask him why never cleans them or put them somewhere. Or if you're over when he decides to go to bed, ask him "Aren't you going to brush your teeth first?"
Little hints help but I'm sorry I couldn't be more use to you. I think if you lived together it would be much easier for me to answer. But remember, little things could sometimes make the biggest changes.

I have been in relationships where I wasn't happy with my girlfriends hygiene (she was clean but I preferred for her to shave a different way or put on different make up), and honestly, honesty works best. Think about it. If you have any intention of spending the rest of your life being with this guy, you have to learn how to say things the way they are. Otherwise, you'll just end up beating around the bush for 50-60 years. Tell him how you feel and he'll either change or not change. If he ignores you, realize while you still have a chance that it's not worth it. Sorry this sounds a bit harsh, but coming from a guy (myself), no guy will change something significant about himself if he isn't in for the long haul.
