"Malfoy glanced sideways at his wife. She was staring straight ahead, quite as pale as he was, her long, blonde hair hanging down her back, but beneath the table her slim fingers closed briefly on his wrist." || Helen McCrory • Narcissa x Lucius • The noble and most ancient house of Black

Amortentia

When Narcissa inhaled Amortentia, it was the freshly brewed coffee on a pale autumn morning, the smoky scent of the cracking fire in an open fireplace on a late, cold winter night, the flowery scent of the hidden meadow deep in the forest close to the Malfoy Manor, the relaxing fragrance of old books mixing with the scent of leather in an old library, the seductive, sweet aroma of the finest wine made by goblins.

why did they make Narcissa's hair mostly black in the film?

I think it's half white to visually communicate to the viewers that she's aligned with/loyal to Lucius and Draco, and half black to visually communicate that she's also aligned with Bellatrix. (and when she's presenting as the most Malfoy - in that newspaper clip about Lucius in Azkaban - it also looks the most Malfoy-blonde.)

Jany Temime, who did the Harry Potter costumes and who I think is absolutely brilliant, has said that she wanted Narcissa to look extremely chic, but also a little strange. Her clothes all have unusual shine and texture, and - when we meet her - there's a a sharpness and artificiality to her. That aspect of her look gets relaxed as the films go on, and she cares less about "keeping up appearances." By the end, when Narcissa is at her most sympathetic, she's also at her most natural. I think it's very deliberate that when we first see her, her styling evokes Cruella de Ville

but eventually she starts wearing her hair in a way that makes her look *more* like someone who's gone grey at the temples. A "natural" looking styling for an unnatural hairdo.
