Does it need to grow in the house or are you talking about hanging bunches
of dried (or fresh) herbage about?
Smell and taste are very subjective judgements. What kind of smell do you
want? Do you want some specific type of aroma or just anything strong
enough to cover the reek of the cat's tray or the used bong on the coffee
table?

Try Winter flowering Honeysuckle. Great for outside or cut flowering
sprigs in the winter - will fill the room with scent. Good for bees
(outside!!) because it flowers when not much else is!!
Summer Jasmine - beautiful tiny white flowers with a delightful aroma
but - plant it in a pot on solid ground. Mine was in the ground and it
took over!! Thus the Jungle girl user name!! It can be grown indoors
too!
I hope it helps!

Lilac bush, outside, under your opened fine screened window, nice weather
only.
Could try Orchids for indoors, good luck keeping them alive. Expensive cut
flowers.
For winter, not exactly in garden category, but I like the smell of fresh
baked bread.
Chocolate Chip cookies a good second... Homemade apple pie...
One thing about nice smelling plants... They attract bugs. Even indoors.
Keep a nice supply of indoor bug spray.
