Default Marguerite - or not?

I bought a plant today labelled Marguerite, but it is not what I
remember,as a child. It's nice enough, with daisy-like flowers, blueish
feathery leaves and about 14" tall. I think it may be Argyranthemum and if
so is not hardy.
The Marguerite I remember as a child was taller with bigger flowers, dark
green smooth pointed leaves, hard stems and an odd smell. I would have
suggested a type of chrysanthemum, but I have grown many types of 'show'
chrysanths and they all had dull 'lobed' leaves.
Any ideas?
