'Man-eater' has already been mentioned. Others include 'seductress', 'femme-fatale', 'coquette', 'minx', 'wolfess', 'doxy' and 'vamp'. Depending on her age, she could also be a 'Delila', 'Jezebel', 'Cougar' or 'Lolita'.

Only one hit: seductress

I think "promiscuous woman" probably misses the mark, but I'm really just looking at the 誑 kanji.  eijiro glosses in refs.

I definitely do not endorse "manizer" as a word =/

Well, now that I noticed the xref, I'll vote for some new glosses based on what I've briefly read...

"love-them-and-leave-them type" seems accurate if you don't mind copying the eijiro gloss.
