Both cartons cost the same — A$229.50 — so the MEVIUS Option Purple 8 vs Premium Menthol difference in 2026 is not a price question; it is a record question. MEVIUS Option Purple 8 (SKU SS-355) and MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 (SKU SS-339) sit side by side in the Mevius category at the same live price, and the boundary between them is the two words “Premium Menthol” plus the SKU on the carton. This is the category and price guide for that boundary, written so you can tell which is which before you order.
The Two Records on the Boundary Line
Xavriqo maps every SKU to one exact product record inside one navigation category. The two records that share the Option Purple 8 name are:
• MEVIUS Option Purple 8 – 1 Carton (10 Packs) – SKU SS-355 – A$229.50 – in stock
• MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 – 1 Carton (10 Packs) – SKU SS-339 – A$229.50 – in stock
Both list under the Mevius category (catalogue id 22). Same carton format, same price, same category — the only separators are the label wording and the SKU.
Category Difference: Same Mevius Category, Two Records
The MEVIUS Option Purple 8 vs Premium Menthol category difference starts and ends inside the Mevius category. Neither record belongs to any other brand category on this site; the navigation path is Mevius → Option Purple 8 for SS-355 and Mevius → Premium Menthol Option Purple 8 for SS-339. The category page is the boundary map; the product pages are the individual records underneath it. A carton labelled “Premium Menthol Option Purple 8” belongs to the SS-339 record; a carton labelled “Option Purple 8” without those two words belongs to SS-355. That is the whole boundary — category identical, record separate.
Price Check Australia 2026: A$229.50 on Both Sides
This is where the price guide answers the “which is which” question in one line: there is no price difference in the 2026 catalogue. Both cartons list at A$229.50 (regular price A$270.00), both are marked in stock this week, and both are the 10-pack carton format. In a MEVIUS price Australia 2026 search, the two records return the same number, so price cannot separate them — the SKU must. If you are comparing cartons and both show A$229.50, check the label wording next, then the SKU, then the category record. The price tells you the carton sits in the same price band; the SKU tells you which record it is.
How to Tell Which Is Which Before You Order
Because the two titles are near-identical, the four-step verification matters more than the price:
1. Full title — read the whole name; “Premium Menthol” between “MEVIUS” and “Option Purple 8” changes the record.
2. SKU — SS-355 is MEVIUS Option Purple 8; SS-339 is MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8.
3. Category — both must sit under Mevius; a listing outside that category is a different record.
4. Carton format — 1 Carton (10 Packs) for both records.
This is the same check the shop uses: if the four fields match the record you want, you are looking at the right listing. For confirmation of stock and the live price, message the store on WhatsApp — the same contact path shown at checkout — and quote the SKU.
Catalogue Context: The Five Mevius Records
The Mevius category holds five carton records in the 2026 catalogue. Two carry the Option Purple 8 name (SS-355 and SS-339); the other three are Mild MEVIUS 10mg Hard Pack (SS-370, A$229.50), MEVIUS Premium Blueberry Blast Menthol Option Purple 8 (SS-366, A$238.00) and MEVIUS Lights 8mg (SS-347, A$246.50). Within the family of “Option Purple 8” titles, SS-355 is the base record and SS-339 is the Premium Menthol record; SS-366 is the blueberry variant at the next price step up. If a carton label matches none of these five titles exactly, it is not a record in this category map.
Taste-Only Notes for the Boundary
MEVIUS cartons are usually chosen for a soft, mellow character, and the Option Purple 8 line is the one fans of lighter, mint-accented blends tend to look for. These notes are taste-only impressions of reader preference; the catalogue record stays the same either way. The label and the SKU, not the taste description, are what separate SS-355 from SS-339.
FAQ
Is MEVIUS Option Purple 8 the same as MEVIUS Premium Menthol Option Purple 8?
No — they are two separate records in the Mevius category. They share the Option Purple 8 name, the 10-pack carton format and the A$229.50 price, but the words “Premium Menthol” and the SKUs (SS-355 versus SS-339) tell them apart.
