Jackie Aina Teams Up with Crown Royal
Jackie Aina, a renowned beauty creator, has teamed up with Crown Royal for an exciting new collaboration. Together, they created a limited-edition candle called “Berry On Top,” inspired by Crown Royal’s new Blackberry whisky blend. This collaboration has led to a significant $50,000 donation to the Black Girl Ventures Foundation.
Supporting Black Girl Ventures Foundation
The “Berry On Top” candle debuted at the Crown Royal Blackberry Stand in Los Angeles in mid-June. This event provided a platform to support rising entrepreneurs through the brand’s partnership with Shelly Bell’s Black Girl Ventures Foundation. Attendees at the event sipped signature cocktails and learned about the foundation while experiencing the new candle.
Jackie Aina expressed her excitement about the partnership. “Finding new ways to flex my creativity to craft something that I know my supporters will love is exciting for me,” she said. The collaboration was a perfect fit for Aina, especially with Crown Royal supporting a cause close to her heart.
Crown Royal’s Commitment
Crown Royal’s donation will support the Black Girl Ventures Foundation, with half going to the BGV Pitch Program. This program helps fund and support Black women entrepreneurs. Hadley Schafer, vice president of Crown Royal, praised the collaboration, calling the whisky “one of our most flavorful yet!”
A Fragrant Celebration
The “Berry On Top” candle features a blend of blackberry, whisky accord, and vanilla notes. Priced at $42, the candle is more than just a fragrance; it represents a commitment to fostering inter-generational wealth and supporting a more equitable society.
FORVR Mood, co-founded by Jackie Aina and Denis Asamoah in 2020, is an award-winning luxury home and fine fragrance brand. Their mission is to empower and inspire through their products, making this collaboration with Crown Royal a natural extension of their values.
