There's a lot to unpack with this question. Wasabi and horseradish can make your sinuses and nasal passages burn. In high quantities, it can do the same with your mouth, but less so. There is flavor to these things to. Both have earthy flavors.
If you are talking chillies, then the heat burns on your tongue and lips, but not in your sinuses. These can have a sweet and fruity background flavor. This sweetness can be enhanced by roasting. Roasting can also give flavors consistent with other roasted things. Smoky, meaty, etc. The fullness of these flavors are collectively referred to as the Mailard reaction. Other flavors can be added by smoking the chilies.
Yum!
