or "M" appeal...

or "Male appeal" (which is where the character got her admittedly misogynistic name).

From an episode that was banned by most US stations that carried the show (1960s after all)... "The Hellfire Club".

Not to mention that Diana Rigg was also a "Bond Woman" (in the sense that she was in a Bond movie "On Her Majesties Secret Service). But she played the woman that Bond married and her death (at the hands of Ernst Blofeld) is likely what caused Bond to start drinking heavily.
