Now I know it's not Spring Break yet, but I busted this out after standing in the cold fundraising for 3hrs!
"Lemon oil and rose absolute to inspire new beginnings - If your New Year's resolution is to forgive and forget, then hop in the bath with one of these creamy white cakes. Sweet orange, lemon and rose oils ease a troubled mind and worried heart. Fans of our Ring of Roses soap will love Amandopondo's familiar fragrance, perfect for new beginnings."
The good news is, I 100% agree on the easing of the "troubled mind and worried heart bit". The smell of lemon is so subtle, fresh, inoffensive and calming and it really does feel like a full-body, internal & external detox.
The bad news is, I did not smell the orange, nor did I smell the rose, until I scrummaged around the bath for 5min looking for the rose and brought it to my nose.
Now I paid £2.50 for this, and while I adore the subtle and modest smell and the calming effect - I'm not quite sure it's worth the dosh for one bath. Why?
First, because it's not that bubbly. It has less bubble than 1/4 of a Comforter bubble bar.
Second, because there's no special colour - just a clean greenish blue bath that happens in some baths without anything in it.
Third, because the rose doesn't do anything and you could probably get the smell in a massive bottle in a drugstore for £2.

As you can see, it's nothing special.
I do, however, really really want to emphasize the detox effect this bath had on me. I don't know if it's because I was extra-tired and just needed any old bath or if it was the Amandopondo's magic, but due to this, I am tempted to try it one more time, just to see. So I probably will rebuy in the near future.
So in conclusion, I'd probably say go for it if you're stressed and you need a treat. Otherwise, this isn't for your everyday bath.
Anybody else tried this? Am I being too critical? :P
