Two ESSE Change cartons sit side by side in the Qorxiva route log, and their records look almost identical. Same brand, same Double Applemint family, same super-slim format, same A$229.50 carton price, same in-stock status. The real differences live in the flavour positioning and the SKU route. This log entry sets the two records side by side so you can tell ESSE Change Double Applemint Wine (SS-277) from ESSE Change Double Applemint Orange (SS-259) before you contact the Qorxiva desk.

The table is the short version: the two records differ on SKU, slug, route and flavour positioning, and agree on price, pack count and availability.
Flavour positioning: Wine vs Orange
ESSE is the super-slim range, and the Change Double Applemint line builds each variant on the same apple-mint base before adding a second flavour note. That second note is where the two records part ways. Applemint Wine is the deeper end of the pair: a soft, smooth menthol with a wine-toned, berry-leaning character. Applemint Orange is the brighter end: the same mild, smooth menthol with a clean citrus note on top.
Neither line is an extreme. Both stay inside the mild, smooth menthol family that the Double Applemint range is known for, which is why the two records are easy to confuse in a hurry. The practical difference is the accent: Wine leans berry and mellow, Orange leans citrus and crisp. If you normally reach for a fruit-forward menthol and want something soft and rounded, Wine is the direction to check first. If you prefer a cleaner, livelier fruit lift, Orange is the direction to check first.
In everyday terms, the pair is one apple-mint base with two toppings. Wine is the record to check for a smooth, mellow menthol with a berry note underneath. Orange is the record to check for the same base with a bright citrus note on top. The names reinforce the split: “Wine” signals the range’s deeper, berry-leaning entry, while “Orange” signals the range’s brighter, citrus-leaning entry. Neither name is a health claim and neither is a quality ranking; both are positioning labels that help you pick the flavour profile you already prefer.
Price check: both cartons at A$229.50
Price is not the deciding factor here, and this log states that plainly. ESSE Change Double Applemint Wine (SS-277) and ESSE Change Double Applemint Orange (SS-259) are both listed at A$229.50 per carton (10 packs), which works out to A$22.95 per pack. Both product records also show A$270.00 as the regular list price, so the two cartons match on the full price record, not just the current figure. There is no price gap to bridge and no budget reason to prefer one record over the other. Prices change over time; the product page is the authoritative record.
Route check: slugs, canonical URLs and HTTP 200
Qorxiva is a slug and SKU route log, so the route is the point of the exercise. ESSE Change Double Applemint Wine resolves at https://www.qorxiva.com/product/esse-change-double-applemint-wine, returns HTTP 200, and is bound to SKU SS-277. ESSE Change Double Applemint Orange resolves at https://www.qorxiva.com/product/esse-change-double-applemint-orange, returns HTTP 200, and is bound to SKU SS-259. Both routes are canonical without a trailing slash, and both sit under the ESSE brand category alongside the rest of the range.
For ordering, the slug is useful, but the SKU is definitive. Quote SS-277 for Applemint Wine and SS-259 for Applemint Orange when you contact the Qorxiva desk over WhatsApp, and there is no room for the two records to be mixed up.
Which one should you choose?
