    It looks like Feverfew to me the smell is bitter and slightly citrus.

    I don’t think feverfew. How do the leaves smell when crushed?

    Can we have a look at the stems please?

    It looks like flat-leaf parsley to me. Does it smell parsley-ish?  Don't eat it unless you're sure though.

    The colour of my feverfew is quite distinctive
     Very similar leaf though

    Could be feverfew. I have grown 2 different types @Forester_Pete. The more attractive (IMO) golden leaf feverfew (which I think you have) and the more common darker green stuff (which seeds itself with gay abandon in my garden). Both attractive when in flower. 

    So it could be feverfew but theplant growth maybe looks a little softer / more lax than the plants in my borders. As Dove said - a look at the stem would help to confirm.

    I've got plenty of both types of feverfew - here's the green one just now-

    Yep. It looks just like our feverfew.
