- Japanese luxury consumers sometimes use the term ハイブラ 'haibura', a shortening of 'high brand', to categorize ディオール and similar labels.
- The katakana character ディ is a combination of デ and a small ィ to create a 'di' sound, which is not a native sound in the original Japanese alphabet.
- The 'o' sound in ディオール is held for two beats, making the brand name sound more rhythmic and elongated than in its original French.
