seductress
Enchanting female manipulator
A seductress is a woman who seduces—who uses charm, beauty, or sexuality to lead someone (typically a man) into a romantic or sexual encounter.
The word carries connotations of deliberate enticement and manipulation: She played the seductress, luring him away from his wife.
The term appears more often in fiction and film than in descriptions of real people.
