"Du riechst so gut" (German for You smell so good) was the first single Rammstein released, and the first from the album Herzeleid. It describes a predator seeking its victim and features themes of insanity and obsession in a stalker. The song might be inspired by the Novel Perfume by Patrick Süskind, one of Till´s favorite books.

It was re-released in 1998 under the name Du riechst so gut '98 with a new video.

During a live concert, Till usually simulates firing rockets over the audience with a bow (actually propelled sitting on a string) and then the bow starts to propel sparks in all directions as Till rotates it. During some concerts, he uses it during different songs, like Laichzeit at the Bizarre Festival in 1997, or Du hast, during the Family Values tour in 1999. During the guitar solo near the end of the song Paul and Richard would conduct the audience, on their latest tour Richard and Paul wore jackets that shot flames/sparks from the one sleeve, running from the shoulder down to their forearms [1]; one would stand facing away from the audience, and the other would stance facing the audience, and then the pyrotechnics would be activated simultaneously.
