What can I grow in my greenhouse that will look lovely but also make it smell lovely

My newly revamped greenhouse needs some greenhouse plants. I have succulents, a lemon tree and some cheerful Pelagoniums but what will love the heat but also smell beautiful? Ideally hardy too.
Would love your thoughts

Jasmine, semi tender Heliotrope (smells of cherry pie)
Tomatoes, I love the smell of the foliage. Same for Basil.

The things that smell really lovely in our garden (only a patio) are jasmine/honeysuckle (all mixed up on the same piece of fence), lavender, privet hedge which I love the smel of the flowers

Jasmine is a good idea and I love the smell.

Scented leaf pelargoniums!

pelargonium citronellum is lovely

Honeysuckle is beautiful.

Honeysuckle is the most beautiful smell, as is jasmine - like pp, I had both growing on a pergola and it was a joy to sit under!

Watch last week’s Gardener’s World: they had Kath Kidston with her scented leaf pelargoniums that she grows in her greenhouse. It was a great watch - they looked beautiful.

@PinkCatCushionLast weeks GW was probably the only one I’ve missed this season 🤦🏻‍♀️. Will watch on catch up, thank you.
