1 warehouse: "Warehouse" is the right answer. A "warehouse" is a storage facility, usually in the form of a large hangar. Warehouses are used to store all kinds of things: merchandise, textiles, cars, drugs, guns just to name a few. In the dialogue, we are told that Horatio's supplies are in a warehouse. Example: "I like to keep the warehouse clean and tidy".
2 overseas: "Overseas" is the best choice here. If something happens "overseas", it happens in a "foreign country" or "abroad". In the dialogue, Horatio has ordered lots of products from "overseas". Example: "Lucy spent eight years living overseas and now she has a strange accent".
3 supplies: "Supplies" is the right answer here. "Supplies" are the "items", "articles", or "products" needed to perform a certain action. The dialogue discusses Horatio's supplies; the ingredients he needs to make his beautiful perfumes. Example: "I love stealing office supplies from work: paperclips are my favourite". Note that there is a related verb: "to supply (somebody with a product)".
