Lemon verbena
is the usual name for the sweet-smelling tea herb.

A warning: there are a lot of verbenas. The normal V. officinalis is a healing herb, but not the one usually sold in health food stores. That is definitely lemon verbena, and is a Lippia (Aloysia) citriodora, according to Zander\'s Handwoerterbuch der Pflanzennamen. The term holy wort is listed in the lists of popular names, but I have personally never heard it used.

Wohlriechendes definitely points to lemon verbena - the normal vervain is somewhat blah in taste and smell.
