Both MEVIUS cartons sit at the same A$229.50 today — the difference is not the price, it is the recorded title. One name carries the field “Premium Menthol” and the other does not, and that single field separates SKU SS-355 from SKU SS-339 on the live catalogue. This is the Title Syntax Notes comparison for MEVIUS Option Purple 8 vs MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8, transcribed from the WooCommerce product records on 7 August 2026.
If you searched for a “MEVIUS Option Purple 8 vs MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 price difference Australia” answer, the short version is: there is no price difference — both cartons list at A$229.50 — but there is a real title difference, and it changes which SKU you should order. This guide covers both recorded titles and the three-step SKU check.
Recorded title fields
Here are the two recorded titles exactly as they appear in the live product records, with the SKU that anchors each one:
- MEVIUS Option Purple 8 – 1 Carton (10 Packs) — SKU SS-355
- MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 – 1 Carton (10 Packs) — SKU SS-339
Both titles follow the same field order: brand, flavour segment, number field, unit phrase, then the bracketed pack count. The hyphen and parentheses are part of the recorded name and are kept exactly as written.
The “Premium Menthol” field — the one recorded difference
Only one segment changes between the two titles. In SS-339 the words “Premium Menthol” sit between “MEVIUS” and “Option Purple 8”. In SS-355 that middle segment is simply not there. Everything else — “Option Purple 8”, “1 Carton (10 Packs)” — is identical.
For transcription, the rule is to record the middle segment in its exact position and never move it. “Premium Menthol” belongs after the brand and before the colour name; writing it anywhere else produces a title that does not match the product record. It is the same kind of qualifier difference you see between other near-identical pairs.
From a reader’s point of view, “which is better” is really a question about matching the recorded name to your order. If the title you saw says “Premium Menthol”, the carton you want is the SS-339 record; if it does not, the SS-355 record is the match. The catalogue records two distinct entries with two distinct SKUs.
Number and unit fields — where “8” and “10 Packs” sit
The number field is identical in both titles: the digit 8 appears in the same position, at the end of the colour segment. The unit field is also identical: “1 Carton (10 Packs)” in both, transcribed with its parentheses intact.
The handling rule for number fields is: record the number exactly as it appears, in the position it appears, and attach no interpretation to it. Because both records show the same number in the same position, it does not separate SS-355 from SS-339 — only the “Premium Menthol” segment and the SKU do.
Identity check — the three-step SKU verification
With two names this close, the identity check is the part Australian readers should not skip. The three steps are:
- Match the full recorded title, not just the brand. “MEVIUS” alone is not enough — the “Premium Menthol” segment decides the record.
- Confirm the SKU on the product page. SS-355 belongs to MEVIUS Option Purple 8; SS-339 belongs to the Premium Menthol title.
- Confirm the unit and the live AUD price. Both cartons are 1 Carton (10 Packs), and both list at A$229.50 in the live record this week.
Near-identical titles are where mix-ups start: same brand, same colour word, same number, one extra word in the middle. Checking SKU, full title and carton unit takes under a minute. The “price difference Australia” answer for 2026 is a clean A$0.00 — the decision is made on the title and SKU, not on cost.
Catalogue context — where the two records sit
Both products live in the Mevius category, alongside the MEVIUS Carton Prices 2026 overview. Readers who prefer soft, mild Japanese-style menthol profiles — the purple 8 line is one of the frequently searched names — often compare these two records before ordering.
Both cartons are in stock this week. Orders go through the store’s usual path: message the shop on WhatsApp with the SKU you want (SS-355 or SS-339), confirm the recorded title and the A$229.50 carton price, and the order is matched against the product record.
Which carton should you order?
The comparison conclusion for 2026: both cartons cost the same A$229.50, so price cannot decide. Order SS-339 if the title you are matching includes “Premium Menthol”; order SS-355 if it does not. When in doubt, send the full recorded title to the shop on WhatsApp and let the SKU check settle it.
