Hello all,
This comes from a perfume website. I realise that muguet = lily of the valley, but I'm not sure whether muguet de Chine is the same thing. Many thanks in advance for any help!
Une fragrance qui exhale au départ des effluves fruitées de melon, d’ananas et de cassis, tout en jouant sur des notes aériennes. Le cœur dévoile un riche bouquet floral composé de nénuphar, d’aubépine, de muguet de Chine et de jasmin des rives du Nil.

Reineckea carnea
According to this website, it is a Reineckea carnea: http://jardinsbotaniquesjaponais.blogspot.com/2008/10/le-mug...
It doesn't not appear to have a common English name: http://flowers3.la.coocan.jp/Ruscaceae/Reineckea carnea.htm
It is a bit of a clumsy name for a perfume description though....

"Pink Reineckea "seems to come up quite a lot as a herb extract used in Chinese herbal oils etc.
