Morphology
The meaning 'a combination that goes extremely well together' is directly and transparently derived from 'perfect' (completely without defect) modifying 'combo' (a pairing or mixture). This simple adjective+noun compositional pattern is common in English and other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer the MWE meaning (though 'combo' is slightly informal).
Etymology
The phrase perfect combo paints a clear picture: perfect means without fault and combo is a short form of 'combination', like strawberries and cream or a burger and fries that fit together well. So perfect combo means items that 'go very well together'.
