<p>I know that currently people in Chinese would say "很重的味道“。 But I'm wondering if there are any other ways of saying it. 
Could I say "很大的味道 “ or ”很浓的味道“ if I'm referring to something like a hot sauce? </p>

At my first glance, `很重/很大/很浓的味道` implies *smelly* if without any context. For flavor, "很重的 **口味**" is more specific.
