'seductive' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'soul snubbed love attempt' is the wordplay.

'attempt' could be 'try' (synonyms) and 'try' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sultry that I've seen before include "(Of weather) hot, humid" , "Sweltering - arousing passion" , "Humid and oppressive" , "Hot, close (weather)" , "Oppressively humid - sensual" .)
