Reviews
I don’t normally love candles as much as this, but I do love yours! Thanks for making my home so cozy.
I love the shop and how it’s organized, and that I can walk in and get candles but also a full birthday gift. I know when I go into the store all my gifting problems will be solved!
I love to buy local, certainly. But, sometimes, it feels like the more mass-produced candles have stronger scents. Manitou candles are top-of-class and I have tried all the candles you can imagine.
An authentically special place to slow down and enjoy the sweet side of life.
The candles burn cleanly, are not overpowering and actually calm me down when I light one in the home. It's become a nightly ritual I admire most.

I love the aesthetics of the space - so intentional and beautiful! It feels good to shop local and support artists and other small businesses that sell their products/art in the shop.
I light my 84 candle whenever I need a pick me up and it has turned into a meditative practice.
My favorite candle is #85, pumpkin soufflé! The smell is heavenly and the candles always burn so evenly.
The store is really aesthetic and cute, so I enjoy going in and browsing for gifts! (either for myself :) or others). Everyone who works there is also very kind and I always end up having a good chat.
Shopping local is very important in our household and Manitou really embraces that.
I love the unique scents and calming ambiance of the store.
The ability to custom blend for our brand has been incredible!
I love the uniqueness of Manitou - the shop is so special. Local, consistent, thoughtfully curated, and products that are worth the price.
I will only buy Manitou candles now because no other candle compares. My sister first discovered the brand on a family trip to Michigan, so burning them always reminds me of family, even though I don’t live near them.
I love the intimacy about the experience with Manitou Candle Co. I can buy a candle anywhere, but this place takes it to the next level.
I love visiting the store- always fun, cozy, new things to look at.
Your candles make my wfh tolerable! Your scents are stronger and last longer.
Manitou embraces anyone who comes in and I appreciate businesses who make that obvious.
A great place for a unique gift and the staff is friendly and helpful.
My studio always smells beautiful because of Manitou.
The shopping experience is always great and the customer service is wonderful. Always able to find a candle I enjoy.
Upscale, the scents are unmatched.
The store is so cute but the candles are the winners for me.
Shopping "small" is really important to me and I have been trying to move away from buying things that feel more mass produced. I like that I can find local and unique gifts for others (and myself).
My favorite thing about Manitou Candle Co. is the care and authenticity behind the brand. You can tell everything is made with intention — the scents, packaging, and even the story behind each candle feel personal and genuine.
Manitou is my go-to shop for greeting cards. Manitou makes all birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, and just thinking of you moments feel more special.
I enjoy all the unique candle scents. And the candles make great gifts by representing our city with the bottom label…”Made in Cincinnati, OH”. We travel often overseas and the candles are perfect host gifts.
I have done a class and was actually just thinking about booking another one. My friends and I had a terrific time and custom blending a candle is always so fun!
I love the high quality non toxic candles and the ability to create your own scent. The store and its offerings are also lovely.
I created my own scent with friends and gifted one of the candles to my mom. So special.
We did a candle making class for our first valentines together and it was so fun! The event was great and so thoughtful.
I attended the Mother's Day candle making class with my sister in law. It was a wonderful morning. You thought of all the details - a flower bar, candle class, mimosas, baked goods. It was a really great way to spend the morning with my sister-in-law.
My mom and I I took a candle making class together around the holidays and it was really special!
About 10 years ago me and my then boyfriend went on a date to the candle making class at Manitou. And I’ve continued to love and support the business sense.
An experience that comes home with you!
The candle making class was such a great day and memory. I learned so many little facts and tips.
We had a special Galentine's day there and we still talk about how much fun it was. Our group created special memories.
We have had several candle making classes with family members for special occasions. Everyone involved enjoyed the entire experience.
The very first candle I made took me back to my last beach vacation.
I took a candle making class a few years ago by myself and always remembered the experience. Probably the best candle making class I've taken.
I’ve had multiple special surprise date nights with my wife of 20 years. I look forward to some day taking my daughter who is only 6.
Loved hosting a private candle making class- the team at Manitou made it so easy to set up and organize, but also made it so enjoyable while we were there.
What makes Manitou different is the authenticity. The products feel handcrafted with care, and the workshops are such a refreshing mix of creativity and connection. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down, be present, and appreciate the process — not just the product.
My 50th birthday was celebrated with making candles with my sister, sisters-in-law, and cousins! (Manitou) is a great place for a fun group activity with a special “take-home” to continue to enjoy (especially for holidays and other special events).
