PARIS, Feb 12 (Reuters) - L'Oreal's OREP.PA fourth-quarter sales grew 6%, it said on Thursday, as strong demand for the group's haircare and perfumes in Europe and North America compensated for barely any growth in North Asia.

The Paris-based owner of Maybelline make-up and Kerastase shampoo said sales for the three months to end-December came to 11.3 billion euros ($13.42 billion), up 6% on a like-for-like basis, versus expectations for a 6.3% rise in an analysts consensus compiled by Visible Alpha.

($1 = 0.8422 euros)
