I wish I could create Instagram posts with “smell o vision”, because this fragrant herb is Cinnamon Basil (Ocimum basilicum).

The Cinnamon Basil is the same species as normal Italian Basil but the scent is more like a rich floral and spicy perfume than mere cinnamon. Among its bouquet of secondary metabolites is methyl cinnamate, the same naturally occurring chemical that gives cinnamon its distinctive flavour. The cinnamon basil originated in Mexico and is used in both sweet and savoury dishes.

I grew this unusual herb from seed here in the UK and it is flourishing in the greenhouse. The plant is reported to repel white fly although this has not been thoroughly researched yet.
