Best Answer

The word temptress is a noun; it means an alluring, seducing woman. It makes more sense to say "beautiful temptress".

Answer
You may be thinking more of a poetic construction rather than one in formal prose. I think "...your temptress beauty" has power in it. It could be considered a metaphor. I also hear it as an unconventional use of hendiadys, a really gorgeous figure of speech where an idea that is usually expressed as above, an adjective followed by its noun, is instead expressed as two nouns, usually separated by "and". Your construction is another way of saying "... you are temptress and beauty". I LIKE it. See link to Hendiadys.
