This clue might be a double definition.

'stunning' is the first definition.

'little number?' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for narcotic that I've seen before include "Drug to induce drowsiness or stupor" , "Drug that induces sleep" , "Addictive drug affecting mood or behaviour" , "drug supplied" , "Sedative" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
