My (M27) girlfriend (F30) has quite bad body odour and I have hinted quite a few times to use deodorant, but she doesn't apply it to where the smell is coming from. How do I approach this?

I have hinted to her loads of times that I want her to use deodorant, perfumes etc but each time I do, she seems to get offended and calls me "weird" for wanting her to smell nice. I have also said to her many times about how I love the smell of woman's deodorants/perfumes.
On the very few times she has used deodorant/perfumes, she only puts a very small amount on, and It's not in the area where the smell is coming from (her armpits). She showers regularly (once every 2 days) and normally smells nice just after a shower, but give it half a day, her armpits will start smelling of BO again.
Just this morning, we had a shower together and while getting dressed for today, I was telling her about how I apply deodorant after I have a shower and I apply it in places that usually get sweaty pretty quickly (armpits) but she doesn't seem to take any notice nor want to change what she's doing.
How do I tell her that I don't really like the smell of her body odour and that I really want her to start using deodorant properly, but also keep her from becoming so offended?
Edit - I have brought her both a roll on and spray deodorant, but these have bearly been touched since I bought them
Edit 2 - I should of mentioned, she has quite sensitive skin and has to use a certain type of body wash in the shower. I have asked her a few times if she is able to use deodorant considering she has sensitive skin but she assures me that she can wear deodorant and that it doesn't affect her skin so I think this is just more of a preference that she doesn't where it. Unless she isn't telling me the whole truth?
