allure
To allure is to draw as with a lure by some charm or some prospect of pleasure or advantage. We may attract others to a certain thing without intent; as, the good unconsciously attract others to virtue. We may allure either to that which is evil or to that which is good and noble, by purpose and endeavor, as in the familiar line, "Allured to brighter worlds, and led the way,"
Goldsmith Deserted Village, l. 170. Lure is rather more akin to the physical nature. It is the word we would use of drawing on an animal. Coax expresses the attraction of the person, not of the thing. A man may be coaxed to that which is by no means alluring. Cajole and decoy carry the idea of deceiving and ensnaring. To inveigle is to lead one blindly in. To tempt is to endeavor to lead one wrong; to seduce is to succeed in winning one from good to ill. Win may be used in either a bad or a good sense, in which latter it surpasses the highest sense of allure, because it succeeds in that which allure attempts; as, "He that winneth souls is wise," Prov. xi, 30.Synonyms:
attract, cajole, captivate, coax, decoy, draw, entice, inveigle, lure, seduce, tempt, winAntonyms:
chill, damp, deter, dissuade, drive away, repel, warnPreposition:
Allure to a course; allure by hopes; allure from evil to good.

How to use allure in a sentence?
The connection to some of the more traditional establishments might take away from the allure.
Airbnb private rentals are different and more relaxed than staying in an established-branded hotel. I guess that’s the allure and the fact that you can sometimes find a fabulous deal in a great location. But this story points out that making private arrangements can be hit and miss because of lack of oversight, quality control, and compliance with regulations designed to protect guests, in a hotel we take things for granted like a local direct-dial phone, an on-duty operator, and desk staff.
If you can say no to something you don't like, you can say no to the enticing allure of explicit desire and lust that you crave.
Shining doesn't always signify gold; sometimes, real gold shines less, while fake gold dazzles with false allure. A common man may blindly choose the fake because of its surface brilliance, forsaking the authentic. However, a discerning man, knowing what he truly seeks, prioritizes quality over mere appeal, recognizing that substance holds greater value than superficial glamour.
Rosalynn and I are saddened by the passing of former First Lady Nancy Reagan. She will always be admired for her strength of conviction and her lifelong devotion to her husband, her 'just say no' campaign prevented many young people from falling prey to the allure of drug use; and her advocacy for stem cell research raised public awareness and influenced decision makers about vital research for Alzheimer's disease. We extend our condolences to her family at this difficult time.
