Du riechst so gut is the first single by Rammstein. It was released on 28 August 1995.
Information
- The single was released in a standard jewelcase and as a special digipak, which had a scent to it, that was released when rubbing the cover.
Promotion
The single received very little promotion. A promotional CD was released in the 9/1995 issue of the German magazine Visions. Also, just like with the album Herzeleid, the single was promoted via a so-called "Riech!"-box. The box included the single (sometimes only the album, sometimes both), a little bottle of the perfume "Obsession" by Calvin Klein and a promotional text sheet inside the jewelcase of the single. The following is the text from the promotional sheet:
There is hardly a newcomer band that has been talked about as much in advance as RAMMSTEIN. Surely some will find it hard to believe, but the debut album "Herzeleid" is finally finished.
Produced by none other than Jacob Hellner (Clawfinger), RAMMSTEIN present a spectacular, unprecedented blend of metal riffs, sextalk, rhythmic lashings and haughty growls. Expressive and powerful in imagery, RAMMSTEIN push for the greatest possible expression, pure emotion, and inevitably reach their goal.
The first sign of life is the CDX "Du riechst so gut". A poppy rag hit about love and suffering on the edge of madness by Rammstein standards. Peter Spilles from Project Pitchfork contributed the hypnotically dark Insturial remix. In the chorus of "Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen" RAMMSTEIN do not hesitate to hammer their own band name into the listener's memory forever and ever. Wonderful!

The promotional cassette for the single shows an alternative name for the Scal Remix, as it is listed as Tricolori Remix there. Additionally the official Rammstein website calls it Frecce Tricolori Remix.[1]
Additionally to the promotional CD and MC releases, a promotional VHS was released. The VHS includes the music video of the song in a slightly different version than what was ultimately released. The video has very few cuts being different.
Misprint
The single has a misprint in the credits. It says "Track 2 remixed by Rewig/Spilles for Project Pitchfork 4", but the remix of the song is track 3. However, the tracklist on Rammstein.de lists it as second track as well,[1] which could indicate it being switched before manufacturing.
Also the song is titled Single Version in the tracklist, but is the same version found on the album.
