Crown Royal and Jackie Aina Celebrate Black Entrepreneurship with Limited-Edition “Berry on Top” Candle

2

This summer, Crown Royal has joined forces with beauty and lifestyle creator Jackie Aina, the co-founder of FORVR Mood, to toast to Black entrepreneurship with the launch of their limited-edition FORVR Mood x Crown Royal Blackberry candle, aptly named “Berry on Top.”

The “Berry on Top” candle is a delightful fusion of the rich, sophisticated notes of Crown Royal Blackberry Whisky and the luxurious scents that FORVR Mood is known for. This limited-edition candle captures the essence of summer indulgence, with a scent profile that combines the juicy sweetness of blackberries with a hint of royal elegance. To mark this exciting partnership, Crown Royal and FORVR Mood hosted an exclusive event in Los Angeles, The Crown Royal Blackberry Stand x FORVR Mood By Jackie Aina. The event reimagined the classic neighborhood lemonade stand, transforming it into a vibrant space where creativity met curiosity.

Guests were treated to refreshing Crown Royal Blackberry cocktails, perfectly complementing the unveiling of the “Berry on Top” candle. The atmosphere was infused with a sense of nostalgia and innovation, offering attendees a unique experience that celebrated both the heritage of Crown Royal and the contemporary flair of FORVR Mood.
