Some French words I love and why

In alphabetical order...

Bijou - because the abundance of vowels and the saucy 'j' feels as indulgent as what the word describes

Cabotin - I just really like the person who taught me what it means

Ensorceller - Onomatopoeic! It's like being hypnotised by sibilants

Farfelu - makes me think of butterflies and cowlicks and other things that flutter in the wind

Ravi - feels like the word is ravishing you, grrr!

Any other candidates?
