I think my mint might be basil - can anyone help me?!

I planted seeds out of a mint packet (pre-packaged, commercial packaging), bought in a local garden/ animal shop. I have checked the packet and it definitely says mint, the picture on the front is definitely of mint leaves. I also bought basil seeds and have planted them too, but that is definitely basil growing so I have not mixed up the seeds. They do not look the same (at the moment I'm thinking they're different kinds of basil maybe).

It smells kind of minty but I don't know if that's just because I think (thought) it is mint. Today I got some fresh basil from the supermarket and they smell and look pretty similar.

Thank you!!
