In 1969 Diane and Neville Spielvogel opened Paint ‘n Powder, a boutique French perfumery in Royal Arcade, which was unique to Australia. Ten years later they opened their second Paint ‘n Powder store at the Jam Factory, South Yarra, which included the Christian Dior beauty salon.
Shortly after this, because of their expertise in the perfume industry, Diane and Neville were approached by the International Cultural Corporation and were invovled in an exhibition at the Art Gallery of both Melbourne and NSW called ‘Fabulous Fashions’. Fabulous fashions was bought here from Metropolitan Museum in New York featuring Haute Couture designers such as Balenciaga and Chanel.
With the changing of the Jam Factory precinct from boutique stores, including Georges, to an entertainment complex, Paint ‘n Powder is now exclusively located in the Royal Arcade where they first begun.
The guiding light of Paint ‘n Powder Diane Spielvogel, together with her husband Neville, founded Paint ‘n Powder nearly 50 years ago.
Both qualified pharmacists, they recognised beauty and perfume as being a natural extension to their already established business. It was out of this passion for perfume and accessories that Paint ‘n Powder was born. Anyone fortunate enough to be served by Diane will certainly be entertained by her unrivaled knowledge and her ability to draw on her incomparable resources to help them enjoy a genuinely helpful shopping experience.
Their daughter, Abbie Siegel, was born into the business. After completing her training as a beauty therapist with Guerlain in Paris, Abbie returned to Melbourne where she set about running the very popular Paint ‘n Powder Beauty Salon upstairs. Twenty five years of experience working in the salon and shop have seen Abbie slide effortlessly into her role as the fresh face of Paint ‘n Powder today.

“I have just experienced the best customer service in a very long time!! I was shopping in Melbourne last week and came across this shop. I enquired about a perfume I love that is discontinued. The lady was so helpful. I came back to Tasmania, photographed the bottle and emailed the pic. I recieved a phonecall THE SAME DAY to say they had found it and will get it for me! I think that is amazing service THANKYOU!! you made my day!! I have tried so many stores here in Tas that were not interested in helping at all. They’ve lost a customer and you have gained one!”
“I stumbled across this shop & so glad I did, what a beautiful shop with gorgeous perfumes took me back to Paris. The staff were so patient & friendly, I will keep coming back now that I’ve discovered it, and love my new perfume Charroil ❤️”
“I have shopped at Myer and Paint’n’Powder for 30 yrs. and have never had a problem with either of them,although Myer frequently don’t have the range of Paint’n’Powder. I have, however , also shopped online where I suspect you have as well, because in my experience, I have never seen a discrepancy as large as $80 in my life. I will never shop online for perfume again as although I paid $80 less , it was also fake. No wonder they didn’t refund you.You only get what you pay for.”
“Amazing customer service! They were able to pin point a fragrance I would like based on previous perfumes I have owned. Sure enough I walked out with a fragrance I loved that you can’t find just anywhere.”
“Visually beautiful, reasonably priced goods, unique collections, unbeatable customer service. Oh and I just loveeee my new Jaipur! thanks for your recommendation :-)”
