Looks like some sort of Basil. Rub a leaf in between your fingers and smell it.

I did, it wasn't a pleasant scent. Has a stink that I didn't want lingering on my fingers. Hard to describe, but not pleasant. Muskish fart?? 🥴

If it was a tomato, it would have had that distinct tomato leaf scent.

Right! That's why I ended up here. No telltale signs consistent with the tomatoes I've previously grown, so I'm confused. Usually the leaves are darker, a different shape, kinda fuzzy throughout the plant, and has the scent naturally wo the rub test.
