A person who uses flattery and smooth words to coax or persuade others.
From blandish plus the -er suffix, which creates agent nouns (one who does the action). The -er ending traces back to Old English and Proto-Germanic roots meaning 'one who.'
A blandisher is essentially a professional flatterer—someone so skilled at compliments they could convince you the sky is green. Con artists and charming politicians are master blandishers.
