captivator
One who mesmerizes
A captivator is someone or something that captivates—that holds attention through charm, beauty, or fascination.
The word is uncommon, since English speakers tend to reach for alternatives: She was a captivating speaker rather than She was a captivator.
When it does appear, it often sounds playful or deliberately old-fashioned.
