April 14 (Reuters) - Swiss fragrance and flavour maker Givaudan GIVN.S reported higher than expected like-for-like sales growth for the first quarter on Tuesday, as robust demand for perfumes and consumer products offset a decline in its food ingredients business. The company's quarterly sales rose 2.8% on a like-for-like basis, while analysts polled by the company were expecting a 1.9% rise on average.
