Then again, I've seen people use "DG" (Dolce & Gabbana) or "YSL" (Yves Saint Laurent). If you're not in a perfume-and-makeup-specific-community then using these as acronyms makes zero sense.

Again, YKK is definitely an exception because I have a feeling no one would know what the hell you're talking about if you used "Yoshida Kōgyō Kabushikigaisha" lol
