You probably have "Helichrysum italicum" or "angustifolia". Not much between them. This is commonly called curry plant because of the scent which is particularly noticeable after rain. Unfortunately you cannot cook with it.

The dried flowers are very attractive and it produces an essential oil so an infusion of the flowers would be quite nice on the skin. This infusion does not keep very well though so if you want to try some only make up a little to start. The properties would be very similar to those of the essential oil.
