Can a child recognise their mother simply through touch and scent? 

In a heart-warming video that will have you reaching for the tissues, six real-life women and their children are gathered to find out the answer.

The sweet youngsters are blindfolded and asked to pick their mum out of the group, while their mothers can be seen waiting anxiously to see whether their child would recognise them.

Touchingly, the women become quite emotional as they children move tentatively along the group one by one, taking the women's hands, touching their hair and faces.

Each child eventually locates their own, throwing their arms around them in recognition. 

The video, called The Unique Connection, was created by Pandora to celebrate Mother's Day and the special bond between mother and child.
