    Is the stem square in cross section? 

    Could  the scent be described as lemony rather than minty?

    it looks a lot like Lemon Balm that’s got rather rampant  …  Melissa officinalis

    hello,
    the stem is more round than square, yes,  I suppose I can best describe it as a citrus sort of smell
