Some of the exclusive concepts of the festival include aroma theatres, scent tunnels and scent hunts.
In the aroma theatres, visitors will be able to experiment and blend their own fragrant diffusers and perfumes.
The scent tunnels promise to be an out of this world sensory adventure, with whiffs and sounds of elements such as Mother Nature, the earth, fragrant grass, birds, the beach, piña coladas and crashing waves.
There will also be beauty treatments, trinkets and treats in abundance for mothers by best-of-breed brands, cosmetic houses and perfumeries.
In addition, there will be ongoing amusement for children, fun play areas and scent hunts that will reward them for tracking down and identifying favourite smells.
The event will be open from 10.30am to 5.30am on May 7, and from 10.30am to 5pm on May 8.
