ESSE Change Applemint Wine vs Orange: Which Capsule Wins?

ESSE Change Applemint Wine vs Orange: Which Capsule Wins?

ESSE Cambio Vino Doble Menta Manzana y ESSE Change Doble Menta Naranja are the two fruit capsules at the top of the ESSE range in Australia, both recorded at A$175.50 per carton (regular price A$270.00) on their product pages. They share the same super-slim body, the same double-capsule design and the same price step, so the choice comes down to the flavour: a softer wine-and-apple character versus a brighter orange-and-apple character. This article is a record of the Double Applemint Wine product page y el Double Applemint Orange product page; prices change, so the product pages are the reference.

Two products, one platform

Both lines are part of the ESSE Change series, which uses crushable capsules in the filter. The Double Applemint name describes a double capsule: one compartment for the fruit character and another for the mint, released together when the filter is pressed. The cigarette body is the same super-slim format used across the ESSE family.

The only differences recorded on the product pages are the fruit notes — wine with apple on one side, orange with apple on the other — and the visual identity of the pack. Both cartons sit at A$175.50, with a regular price of A$270.00, and each carton holds ten packs.

Flavour direction: wine versus orange

In record terms, the Wine edition is the mellow option. The wine note is soft and slightly sweet, blended with apple and finished with mint, and the overall impression is smooth rather than sharp. The Orange edition is brighter: the orange note is more forward and citrus-like, with the same apple and mint base underneath.

Adults who want a subtle, dessert-like smoke tend to describe the Wine edition as the closer fit, while those who want a more noticeable fruit character usually point to Orange. Neither flavour is dominant in the way a candy capsule can be; both stay within a light, modern profile that keeps the tobacco character visible underneath.

Side-by-side record

The comparison below reproduces what the two product pages record, attribute by attribute:

Atributo	Double Applemint Wine	Double Applemint Orange
Carton price	A$175.50	A$175.50
Regular price	A$270.00	A$270.00
Body format	Super-slim	Super-slim
Capsule design	Double capsule, fruit and mint	Double capsule, fruit and mint
Fruit note	Soft wine with apple	Bright orange with apple
Overall finish	Mellow, slightly sweet	Brighter, citrus-forward
Carton contents	Ten packs	Ten packs

Read against the record, the two lines are identical on every mechanical and price attribute. The only real difference is the fruit character, which makes this a flavour decision rather than a value decision.

How the price compares across the ESSE range

Both Double Applemint lines sit one step above the rest of the ESSE range. The current Soulssky records are:

• Esse Lights Super Slim — A$149.50 per carton.
• ESSE Mentol (Verde Mecánico) Super Slim — A$149.50 per carton.
• Esse Change Menta Ice Blast 4mg — A$149.50 per carton.
• ESSE Change Double Applemint Wine and Orange — A$175.50 per carton each.

For the full family layout, the ESSE super slim range guide remains the fastest overview, and adults comparing across brands can use the Marlboro flavours guide as a cross-reference.

Which one suits which smoker

For adults choosing between the two, the practical rule is about the flavour direction you already prefer. Wine drinkers and smokers who like mellow, slightly sweet notes tend to lean toward Double Applemint Wine. Smokers who prefer citrus and a brighter finish usually pick Double Applemint Orange.

On every other axis — body, format, capsule design, price, carton size — the two products are equivalent, so the decision is genuinely flavour-led rather than price-led. Sydney-based adults comparing the pair in person typically report the same conclusion: smell the pack side by side if you can, because the fruit notes read differently once they are next to each other.
