seductive
Hard to resist
Seductive describes something that tempts or entices, often with sexual overtones.
A seductive glance, a seductive voice, a seductive dress—all suggest deliberate allure aimed at arousing desire.
The word extends beyond sex to anything powerfully attractive: a seductive offer, a seductive argument, the seductive appeal of easy money.
What's seductive draws you in against your better judgment.
