Japanese term or phrase: ムゲ

This appears in a list of flowers used to scent cosmetics. The description of them overall is "floral bouquet," and the other items in the list are: rose, jasmine, orange flower, etc. Anyone know what "muge" is?

muguet? (lily of the vally)

Explanation:
Hi Shannon, if it is muguet in French, then it's a type of スズラン.

Since it's just a scent/fragrance name, either one is ok, I think.

And, sorry for the typo. Should have been "Vallley"

Shannon, if ムゲ is also a typo for ムクゲ, then, it might be hibiscus.
