Possibly some variety of thyme or maybe oregano. Do the leaves have a distinctive flavour and, when crushed, a strong, pungent, but pleasant smell?

Be easier to identify if we could see the basal leaves.

Thyme was my thought, and yes a gorgeous smell when crushed.

Oregano gets my vote!

The flowers look like those on my Oregano.

I think Oregano too.

In view of the description of the smell as 'gorgeous' I would come down on the side of oregano as well. Thyme is pleasant enough but oregano is, well, 'gorgeous'.
