Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'Persian' (from Persia/Iran) modifies 'love theme' (a romantic theme), so a learner who knows the constituent words can infer it refers to a romantic theme with Persian characteristics. This follows standard adjective + noun composition and is cross-linguistically common, making it readily understandable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Persian love theme comes from old Persian poetry and art, where gardens, roses and nightingales stood for deep 'romance' and strong feelings. So a Persian love theme today means a style that uses those Persian images to create a 'romantic' mood.
