enrapture

Fill with bliss

To enrapture is to fill someone with intense delight or joy—to capture them completely with pleasure.

The word suggests being transported beyond ordinary experience: The audience sat enraptured by her performance.

Something enrapturing holds you spellbound, as if you've been seized by rapture itself.
