flower are not smelling pretty, smells like hay

Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is doing great.

I am trying to make a floral gin, and I have been experimenting with different botanicals to bring out their floral aroma, such as lavender, bergamot mint, calendula flower, and black tea leaves. They all smell like hay and have a weird aroma to them.

I am trying to distill them on a small lab still. I tried NGS at 95% and at 60%, but it was not really great. If anyone has advice or techniques to bring out the delicate floral aromas, that would be great.
