charmer

Magnetic personality type

A charmer is someone with an appealing, persuasive manner—able to win people over through personality rather than argument: He's a real charmer when he wants something.

The word can be sincere or ironic, suggesting either genuine likability or manipulative smoothness.

A snake charmer handles serpents, traditionally by playing music to entrance them.
