I bought this as an annual this spring because I had never seen it before. Even the man in the greenhouse couldn't remember it's name.
The leaves are thick and scented.

I love that stuff! I used to buy it every year because it makes a good filler in planters or on it's own in a basket. I also like the way it smells. I couldnt find it this year  .
Sorry I'm no help with the name but it reminds me of a Swedish Ivy.

And I dislike the smell immensely.

It looks like a variety of Common Sage. Makes a great 2.5 foot shrub and turkey stuffing.

It is a pretty thing. Do you think you can bring it in for the winter?

I love this plant! I forgot to plant any of it this year, but I usually do have it in a pot in the summer. I have tried to overwinter it in the house, but it needs so much sun that it never survived. I've always called it Swedish Ivy too.

I love anything with an herby smell. I will need good filler for my border and that's a pretty choice.

Are the leaves fuzzy or smooth.

They are sort of fuzzy Sharon. It is not Sage.
