Small bush (not tree), has a strong and pleasant smell.

Welcome! Kari

Can you tell us where the plant is located in the world, and if it's growing wild or was it bought?

Welcome! Kari!

It reminds me of an Ornamental Basil.

Are the stems square?

It looks to be in the family Lamiaceae (mint family), similar to Mentha.

Can you post a photo of the whole plant?

Ornamental Basil is a good bet!

‘African Blue’ looks a good contender ..

I think you're right and it's indeed African Blue Basil. Thank you very much :)
Here is a picture of the whole plant.
