Enchanted

Held by spells

Enchanted describes something under a magical spell or charm: an enchanted forest, an enchanted castle.

More commonly, it expresses delight or captivation: I was enchanted by her voice.

The formal phrase enchanted to meet you conveys pleasure at an introduction, though it sounds old-fashioned or affected in casual settings.
